REALISM FOUND EXHIBIT June 5th
REALISM FOUND:
Charlotte Artists Find New Meaning in an Old Tradition
Charlotte, NC – Katherine Blackwell, Cher Cosper,
David Thayer French, Joshua Gage, Paul Keysar, Andrew Leventis,
Osiris Rain, and P. S. Thibodeaux will display their work June 1-30,
2009, in an exhibit titled “Realism Found: Charlotte Artists Find
New Meaning in an Old Tradition”, at The Queen’s Gallery, 1212 The
Plaza, Charlotte, NC 28205. The opening reception is Friday, June 5,
2009, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. Artists will be in attendance. A
second reception is planned during “The Krawl” a Saturday night
event in the Plaza Midwood neighborhood (June 13th). Regular gallery
hours are Tuesdays through Fridays 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and
Saturdays 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
These eight artists, though bonded together through their love of
representational art, each find different ways to express their
creative talents within the genre. Katherine Blackwell developed her
skills by doing studies of a variety of landscapes; a concentration
in portraiture soon followed, which she found to be more exciting and
challenging. Blackwell has found her artistic voice in her "Melty
People", a concentration spawned from years of youthful sketches
contorting and manipulating the human body. Cher Cosper’s work
includes post-impressionist style paintings with bold colors and nude
drawings. David Thayer French’s focus has been on the changing
facades of his home town, Charlotte, NC, and the artist enclave of
NoDa. After seven years working in charcoals, French has returned to
oil painting. Joshua Gage specializes in decorative and fine art...
Paul Keysar is recognized for his classic, representational oil
paintings and is known for the use of light, atmosphere, and weather
in his landscapes. He is intrigued by man’s interaction with and
dependence on nature. Andrew Leventis uses a precise painting style
to critically mimic Holbein’s visual techniques in the Ambassadors
and to draw attention to the classification of things and investigate
the problems that arise from containing heterogeneous objects within
a single framework. Leventis’ examination of how and why people
collect things first emerged from his encounter with the cabinet of
curiosities in Holbein’s Ambassadors. Osiris Rain is passionate
about painting in the classical method and works exclusively from the
live model, grinds his own pigments, and creates his own ground.
Rain’s current work reflects on the tide of emotions, their pull on
the heart, and their effect on memory. From large allegories to
smaller composed objects, these paintings of times past, are now
icons of the present. P. S. Thibodeaux’s ongoing series of
allegorical paintings, “Reminders”, are dreamscapes containing
symbolic messages about life’s lessons. Thibodeaux uses carefully
proportioned props, constructed using a range of materials for posing
with the model, to communicate thoughts and perceptions.
For more information about this exhibit, please contact Jennifer
Keysar at 704-596-1286 or jenn@paulkeysar.com; for directions to the
gallery call 704-373-2993.

Oil Painting Demo March 24th
The Figure in Oil Demo
March 24, 7pm
The Mint Hill Art League's March program will be
all about oils. Our speaker is Katherine
Blackwell, manager of Cheap Joe’s
and accomplished oil painter. She is
a superb artist who has been
painting since she was fifteen. Her
work extends from landscapes to
portraiture. Her long time focus on
the human face and form has
evolved into a series of fantasy
portraits she calls "Melty People".
Katie will discuss her materials and
techniques and demonstrate the use
of light and shadows in figures, and
the best colors to use to create the
biggest impact on the viewer.
Freebies and a door prize from
Cheap Joe's are also part of the
evening's program. You won't want
to miss this one!
