RedSky Gallery in Charlotte, NC, Features
Works by Andy Braitman
RedSky
Gallery in Charlotte, NC, will present the exhibit, Landscapes
Near and Far: Andy Braitman, will be on view from Sept. 12
through Nov. 12, 2008.
Braitman's new exhibition balances new techniques and his classic and ever-popular style of painting. This past year he spent time traveling in Nova Scotia and in Italy; his travels served as the inspiration for his new paintings. Braitman's landscapes from Nova Scotia represent the cool waters, the boats and fishing houses of the Northern Province. In contrast, his Italian landscapes explore the warmth of the sun against the mountains of Siena.
Braitman is an artist of national stature. His work has been featured in galleries and in one-man and group shows in Santa Fe, Chicago, Atlanta, Millburn, NJ, Washington, DC, Noorbeek, Holland, and Rio de Janiero and Curitba, Brazil. He was chosen by Nancy Reagan as one of America's Leading Artists, along with other notable artists such as Frank Stella and Andrew Wyeth, and asked to contribute a decorated Easter egg to the White House. The egg is now on display in the Smithsonian Institute.
Braitman was selected to participate in the prestigious Maryland Biennial Juried Exhibition at the Charles Museum of Art in Baltimore. He has also been an Artist in Residence for Prince Georges County, Maryland and for Edgecombe and Mitchell Counties in North Carolina. In those roles he has been guest lecturer at area colleges, conducted workshops, judged art competitions, and participated in public art projects.
