Laying it Down |
Playground of Illusion - Watercolor Paintings by Rick Bennett
When you examine the paintings in
Playground of Illusion, you will discover right off that something is different. Architectural details of a historic Raleigh home disintegrate into abstract color. The organic shapes in
Laying It Down seem to have no reference to the real world, but began as a photograph of shirtless men laying steaming asphalt surrounded by large machinery. A playful and contemporary application of paint is paired with an emotional attachment to Rick's roots in southern culture. In the abstract watercolor paintings created for this show, Rick invokes a sense of motion, the feel of the breeze, or the drama of sunlight. Rather than document the scene, Rick allows you to stand in the energy of the moment. Come play in this collection of images evocative of nature and life.
Opening reception - Friday, April 5, 2013, 6 - 9:30 PM
Show runs April 4 - 27

Also in April at TPG -
Ceramic Sculpture by Jamie Studebaker
 |
|
Chicken Man Jar |
"Everyone interprets life in their own unique way. No two minds are alike, resulting in a near-infinite array of viewpoints.
My sculptures are narratives. I use color, texture and dimension as portals to my own perspective of reality. The process of creation and the unique challenges inherent to each sculpture are metaphors for life itself."

Allen Clapp celebrates the incredible

Coming in the May First Friday
Color and Texture at the Farmer's Market
 |
|
Cabbage |
Farmer's markets are full of good food, plants and people and the State Farmer's Market is no exception. From fresh produce to old-fashioned candy, spring planting to Christmas greenery, our Farmer's Market flourishes year round. Amid all the activity is a world full of color and texture. Susan Jones' beautifully hand colored photographs document the magnitude of goodness that is North Carolina grown. Through cropping and careful application of color, Susan builds on the farmers' artistic vision, presenting each food as a work of art.
