Carolina Galleries
in Charleston, SC, Offers Works by Julyan Davis
Carolina Galleries in Charleston, SC, will present the exhibit, Julyan Davis: New Paintings of the South, on view from Sept. 4 - 30, 2009.
This body of work explores the mystery of the South, its landscapes and streetscapes, abandoned mansions and haunting interiors. Davis' new show documents the bygone structures of the Antebellum South and provides glimpses into the grandeur and majesty of Southern history and culture.
Davis, a British-born,
Southern convert, attended university at Byam Shaw School of Art
in London. In 1988, having completed his BA in painting and printmaking,
he traveled to the South on a painting trip that was also fueled
by an interest in the history of Demopolis, AL, and its settling
by Bonapartist exiles. He explored the rural areas of Alabama
especially, and after settling permanently in Asheville, NC's
Montford district he has become known for his landscapes of the
South Carolina Lowcountry, Georgia, Western North Carolina and
Alabama.
Davis's work is in many private and public collections across
the United States and United Kingdom, including recent acquisitions
by the North Carolina Governor's Mansion and Western Residence
and the Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston. In 2009, he has had
shows in Bath, England and Portland, ME, in addition to Asheville
and Charleston.
Carolina Galleries will also feature 19th and 20th Century Southern art including work of the Charleston Renaissance by Alfred Hutty, Elizabeth O'Neill Verner, Alice Ravenel Huger Smith, William Aiken Walker, William Halsey, Elizabeth White, Birge Harrison, and Benjamin Franklin Reinhart. Our contemporary artists are carefully selected to compliment the 19th and 20th Century Southern aesthetic: Stephen Chelsey, Craig Crawford, Gary Grier, Johnson Hagood, Chestee Harrington, Philip Juras, Tom McNickle, Margaret M. Peery, Philip Smallwood, Mickey Williams, Evan Wilson and Stephen Scott Young.
