Carlton Gallery hosts 30th anniversary autumn group exhibition
'Stillness at the Water's Edge' by Andrew Braitman
Autumn in the High Country signals a time for foliage in golden
yellows, burnt oranges and radiant reds.
Carlton Gallery’s 30th Anniversary Autumn Group
Exhibition, which begins on Oct. 6, signals a time of fine art with autumn’s majestic
palette.
An artists’ reception will take place from 2 to 5 p.m., with some of the standing
gallery artists in attendance to greet friends, visitors and patrons. Refreshments will be served,
as visitors view the gallery’s collection of paintings, glass, wood, clay, sculpture, fiber and
jewelry from local, regional and national artists.
Traditional and abstract landscapes
abound from artists Andrew Braitman, Egi Antonaccio, Kevin Beck, Kate Worm, Helen Farson, Roy
Nichols, Jane Desonier, Jossie Fox Nichols, Sharon Rusch Shaver and Freeman Beard.
Braitman’s “Stillness at the Water’s Edge,” an abstracted landscape rendered in autumn
colors of gold, yellow and orange, with a slight hint of Carolina blue to depict the water, reflects
the artist’s fondness for color and composition.
Antonaccio’s “Fall Evening” is the artist’s
interpretation of sleeping Grandfather Mountain in vivid autumn colors with a sunset in the
background. His acrylic painting, “Country Garden,” of fall flowers, including yellow sunflowers in
the foreground with the deep blue mountains under an azure sky in the background, is rendered with
palette knives.
Beck paints the landscape in a traditional manner, using a palette of gold
and orange with the blue mountain range in the background. He paints in oils and pastels, which
allow for a unique interpretation of the landscape.
Nichols’ plein air paintings of
mountains, pastures, waterfalls, creeks and roads rendered in his signature shades of green, blue
and brown capture on canvas a tranquil landscape.
The exhibition features non-objective
abstracts by Edie Maney, whose commanding use of acrylics with the palette knife render her
paintings in light gold, green, tan, rust and muted blue.
Other featured artists include
painters and mixed media artists Gina Strumpf, Vae Hamilton, Holly Glasscock, Warren Dennis, Mary
Martha McKinley and Debbie Arnold, while John Littleton and Kate Vogel will showcase their new
sculpture, “Chrysalis,” at the exhibition.
