Aiken Center for the Arts in Aiken, SC, Features Works by Al Beyer
The exhibit, Al Beyer: Retrospective, will be presented at the Aiken Center for the Arts in Aiken, SC, from Sept. 6 through Oct. 12, 2007. The exhibit in a variety of mediums, (oil, acrylic, fluid media, charcoal and pastel), span three decades from the art professor at USC Aiken.
"Most of the work deals with the figure, while a smaller body is devoted to landscape," Beyer said. "Stylistically, I am a realist who meanders into different realms of expressionism."
Beyer holds a masters degree in fine arts from the University of Arizona and has studied art at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, Athens State College in Athens, AL, and from Columbia University in New York City. He has taught art for more than 30 years.
The winner of many juried and invitational shows in the south and nationally, Beyer's work also is found in public and private collections. These collections include portraits of Judge Rodney Peoples at the Aiken and Barnwell Courthouses 2004 and 2006.
Other works of Beyer's are displayed at Morris Museum of Art in Augusta, GA, Fort Hays State, KS, South Carolina Arts Commission, Columbia, SC, Mississippi Museum of Art, Hunter Museum of Art in Chattanooga, TN, The Parthenon, Nashville, TN, The University of Alabama in Huntsville, and The Decatur Art Guild, Decatur, AL.
