Lark & Key Gallery in Charlotte,
NC, Features Works by Charlotte Foust
Lark & Key Gallery and Boutique in Charlotte, NC, is presenting the exhibit, Unseen Passage: New Works by Charlotte Foust, on view through Nov. 7, 2008.
This series of mixed media paintings by local artist Charlotte Foust, combines an interest in the immediacy of drawing and gestural painting with the juxtaposition of the art of collage. The paintings include images of stark monochromatic landscapes inhabited by anthropomorphic forms. Foust constructs a visual narrative, exploring both personal and cultural themes through the recurring motifs of birds, butterflies, wheels and carriages. Through the use of symbolic imagery for transition and movement through linear time, each figure shares a common space that is familiar yet unknown.
Foust says of her new series, "my artwork is a continual exploration of the creative self which filters through a lifetime of memory and experience with the end result being an imaginative waking dream released onto the canvas surface. Intuitively, figures emerge and float suspended into an imaginary world of their own, solid yet fragmented from the unseen passage of time".
Foust graduated from the University of North Carolina, Charlotte with a Bachelor's degree in Art and has exhibited her work throughout the United States for over fifteen years. Foust's paintings have been included in exhibits at the Mint Museum of Art, the Levine Museum of the New South, and the McColl Center for Visual Art and many private and corporate collections. In addition to Lark & Key her artwork is also featured at other galleries in North Carolina, Atlanta, Boston and Chicago.
