An Artist Talkwith Herb Parker will be offered on Sept.26, beginning at 6pm in Rm. 309 of theSimons Center for the ArtsThe stereotypical image of the artist’sstudio as a paint-splattered, sparselyfurnished garret where the lone artist toilsaway producing their brilliant works isin much need of re-examination. Manyartists’ studios are a far cry from thisdescription, and serve very different functionsfor their inhabitants. This exhibitionwill examine the relationship between thestudio and the work produced within it bytwo contemporary artists who will recreatetheir studio spaces within the HalseyInstitute’s galleries.Works by Herb ParkerHerb Parker is best known for hislarge-scale, site-specific nature-basedinstallations around the world. Yet, hehas an equally interesting body of workscreated, often, using found objects as apoint of departure, and displayed withinhis studio.Joseph Burwell’s singular vision offersa world engineered by a network ofrealms and technologies, meticulouslyconstructed and superimposed. The effectof architecture and space onto thepsychology and emotions of the vieweris pivotal to the artist’s work. His drawingson wood are blueprints for modularstructures inspired by ancient sacrificialsites, modernist habitats and medievalfortifications. His studio contains elementsreferencing the structures found in hisintricate works.Parker is a sculptor and possibly SouthCarolina’s most prominent site-specificlandscape artist. The College of Charlestonart professor since 1991, a native ofElizabeth City, NC, has participated inover 50 site-specific interactions in thelandscape since the early 1980s. Parkerhas created public works at botanicalgardens, a centuries old Japanese temple,urban centers, universities, rural land-Works by Joseph Burwellscapes and museums around the world. Inaddition to fifteen states, he has worked inSweden, Japan, Italy and Canada.Parker’s South Carolina site worksinclude those at the State Museum inColumbia, the Waterfront Park in Charleston,Chandler Creek Elementary Schoolin Greer and the SC Botanical Garden inClemson. In 1999, Parker was included in100 Years/100 Artists: Views of the 20thCentury in South Carolina Art at the SCState Museum. His work also is in Threshold:Expressions of Art & Spiritual Life,a SC Arts Commission exhibition of artfrom the Southeast that has been travelingsince 2004. Parker has been representedin two SC Triennials and in exhibitions inmore than a dozen states. The former USMarine and Peace Corps volunteer holds aBFA and an MFA from East Carolina Universityin North Carolina and has studiedin Italy through the University of Georgia.Born in Iceland in 1970 and raised insouthwestern Virginia, Joseph Burwellbegan to study Architecture at SavannahCollege of Art and Design, but changedhis major to Studio Arts and receivedhis bachelors degree at the College ofCharleston in 1993.

While the paintingsmay appear unrelated, they are united bythe subject matter contained within thecantos about Limbo and the City of Dis.Limbo is set just across the River Acheroninside the Gates of Hell and contains thesouls of the innocents, poets and heroes.Dante describes Limbo as a beautifulplace with emerald colored fields andflowers. In contrast the City of Dis is ironwalled, dark and has only two dim beaconsof fire to light the enclosure. Thereare famous sinners being punished here.“Dante’s religious beliefs did not concernme as I painted, but his vivid descriptionsof this imagined place continue tofascinate me.

A reception will be held on Sept.5, from 6-9pm.Calicutt’s mixed media works explodeoff the wall with juxtaposed imagery andcolor, unlike anything you’ve seen. Callicutt’swork is that of combination andcontrast. Early training in comic arts underBo Hampton was followed by formalstudy at the South Carolina Governor’sSchool for the Arts and the University ofGeorgia’s BFA Printmaking program.Work by Jonathan CalicuttDespite a pervasive notion that thegraphic element of the comic world has noreal place in fine art, Callicutt integrates,rather than occludes, the elements of hisartistic education. His work has beenexhibited throughout the United States inGeorgia, South Carolina, Virginia, LosAngeles and San Francisco as well asFlorence, Italy.Callicutt offers the following artiststatement, “The word ‘magic’ meansmany things to many people. For myself,Work by Jonathan Calicuttat its core, it has always represented theidea of making the impossible possibleand the possibility of converting the fantasticto actual. The belief that incrediblethings can, in fact, exist, happen, be.Admittedly, a childlike notion, perhaps.The harsh realities of daily life have anerosive effect on this ideal. And it recentlyoccurred to me that one of the saddestexperiences in life is the recognition thatmagic has gone out of the world. The lossof belief that incredible things can, in fact,exist, happen, be.”“It has been often posited that this lossis, quite simply, growing up,” adds Callicutt.“I don’t know. But I struggle with it,whatever its true nature. The works in thisexhibition were born of this belief, thisloss, and a single question that can haveno single answer: What would the childthat you were have to say to the adult thatyou are?”For further information check our SCCommercial Gallery listings, call the storeat 803/661-9700 or visit (http://sandsartsupply.com).Fine Arts Center of Kershaw Co. in Camden,SC, Features Works by Claire FarrellThe Fine Arts Center of KershawCounty in Camden, SC, will presentMonotypes and More, featuring works byClaire Farrell, on view in the Bassett Gallery,from Sept. 10 through Oct. 16, 2013.A reception will be held on Sept. 10, from5:30-7pm.The Bassett Gallery’s first exhibitionfeatures works by Columbia artist ClaireFarrell.

From earliest memory she hasalways liked to make things by mixingmany materials together. Over the pastseveral years she has explored many newways to use polymer clay. Not satisfiedwith traditional methods of working withthis clay, she has developed techniqueswhich allow her to incorporated othermaterials into the works of clay. Othermaterials may be string, metal, wood,glass etc. The works then become “canvases”on which she paints.Regula states, “As I work with the clay,I allow the clay to show me in which directionit wants to go. I may start off withan idea or a sketch of what I want to accomplishbut in the end, it is always aboutthe clay and how the other materialsadded to the clay want to travel together.When their ‘journey’ together gets to anend, it is up to me to become a painter andtravel with them to complete the piece.”Prater will be exhibiting new encausticwax paintings. She says of her work;“I have always enjoyed discovering andexploring new media. Over the past fiveyears I have explored the encaustic waxmethod of painting and enjoy its ability tocreate ethereal visual effects through itstransparency and layering process.”In addition to direct painting Prater experimentswith a variety of photography,collage, and transfer methods within theencaustic wax.

I’ve seen a bodytorn apart by shrapnel, leaving wounds fora lifetime, and heard the story of how helived and his best friend died. I’ve seena man broken to the point where he nolonger knows who he used to be, but onlythe soldier he has become.”“That is what matters,” adds Hill. “Andit should to so many Americans who enjoythe freedoms these war torn men andwomen have afforded them.”“Most of the touching things I’veexperienced were not said with words. Itwas in the gaze between two soldiers, twobrothers, whom would lay down their lifefor the other that I was most inspired. Thethings they couldn’t bear to talk about,expressed in a look or a pat on the backthat no civilian could understand. Thingsthey’d seen together that would never bespoken of. A nightmare of a world youand I will never see, tucked behind a braveface and a strong heart, hidden where onlythose who go looking can see.”“There in the shadows of life experienceand heartbreak, I found my inspiration.I found a scene that the world neededto see.

I want to create a conversationabout these selfless individuals who oftenaren’t even thanked… because you andI wouldn’t last a minute in most of theirshoes. And we live peaceably in oursbecause of them,” say Hill.Hill was born in 1988 in Knoxville,TN. At a young age she began movingfrequently with her family across much ofthe eastern United States. Despite the variousmoves, one thing remained constant:Hill loved creating art and was intent onlearning to capture a person’s likeness.In 2006, Hill began attending SavannahCollege of Art and Design to majorin painting. There she enjoyed workingprimarily realistically in oils. Throughexploration of technique, she began experimentingwith layered images, multiplesof figures, and the concepts of timeand movement across a two dimensionalplane. Lauren was fascinated with capturinga moment in time and the memoriesthat surround it. She graduated in the topof her class from SCAD in May 2010with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting.Hill works both in Charlotte, NC and theUpstate of SC.Hill continues to depict the humancondition and is inspired by the emotionthat art can bring. “My paintings demonstratemy desire to capture the time, form,and movement of an individual’s life. I notonly want to depict the human condition,but to also unpack moments of a person’slife across a two dimensional plane. Mywork explores what the eye sees in a matterof seconds, slowing an action down,wrapping it around the body, and capturingit at various rates and resolutions.”“Time seems to pass at a constantrate, though we sometimes experience itcontinued on Page 31

This, along with the idea of a definingmoment of an action that one’s braincatalogs as a visual memory are ideas Ienjoy exploring. Layered imagery andfigures, and multiple images lend themselvesto the depiction of a moment to beunwrapped by the viewer.”“Ambiguous spaces lacking in pictorialdepth offer a compressed time and areain which the figure is allowed to move.

Even though the imagesrepresent personal memories of places andpeople, the viewer can still be connectedto them by filling in the gaps.

The process oflayering beeswax over the surface of thealready apparently fading image lendsitself to how memories exist, sometimesfutile, sometimes clear, and more oftenthan not, incomplete.”“Collectively, my work centers aroundsymbolic objects, the spaces these objectsinhabit and the people connected to them.Most often these spaces and objects arere-contextualized by taking them outof their original environment and rebuildinga new space for them to inhabit.I have always been drawn to naturalobjects but have never really been drawnto photographing them in their originalenvironment. The act of collecting thingsfrom nature and joining them with otherelements such as papers or found objectshas been a fascination and a practice sincechildhood. My childhood practice of thisprocess included finding leaves and flowersand gluing them to a piece of paper tomake a formal design.

The exhibition is a visualconversation among three unique artistswho vary in focal inspiration, creativeprocess, and medium. The result is anexciting, rich visual display. Lolette Guthrie’sserene, reflective landscapes contrastwith Eduardo Lapetina’s vivid, heavilytextured abstract paintings. Added to thisconversation are the unique mouth-blownglassworks of Pringle Teetor.Work by Holly BradleyHillsborough Gallery of Arts inHillsborough, NC, Features Worksby Lolette Guthrie, EduardoLapetina, and Pringle TeetorWork by Lolette GuthrieLolette Guthrie resonates to the wordsof photographer Walker Evans, “...thetruly hard part is capturing the light in theair.” Guthrie says, “this is exactly what Iam continually trying to achieve when Ipaint. I am primarily a landscape painterand I mostly paint from memory. Sometimesmy work is pared down representation;sometimes it is abstract. Regardlessof the genre, however, my paintings areall paintings of light and atmosphere. Iseek to explore the many and varied facesof the physical world and to capture theephemeral nature of light at a momentin time that transcends the subject andcaptures a mood that is timeless.”“Each piece begins with a loose ideathat evolves gradually and intuitively as Ibuild up the surface layer by layer,” addsGuthrie. “I always have an idea of whatI want to explore but I find that at somepoint the painting takes on a life of itsown and I’m never sure where it will endup. Always, however, I strive to discoverand convey the essence of the subjectand to create exciting, thought provokingvisual metaphors that celebrate the incrediblebeauty and diversity of our world. Tome the concentrated stillness of makingand manipulating marks on a canvas is aPage 44 - Carolina Arts, September 2013Work by Eduardo Lapetinaform of meditation.”Eduardo Lapetina’s abstract paintings,are based on the inner light of humanemotion. “My abstract paintings are soulscapesthat are the product of working incomplete solitude. They represent the discoveryof mysteries of the subconsciousmind, and they are part of my personallegend. It is a collaboration of mind andspirit. These abstractions hold the promiseof dreams, visions, fears, intangibles, andwill. It is the magic of a private, secret,and confidential language.”Pringle Teetor marries art and sciencein creating her lyrical blown glassworks.“I find myself constantly amazed withhow chemistry works in glass. Goldchloride, manganese, cobalt, copper andiron oxides are all used to create specificcolors in glass. Unfortunately most of myfavorite colors are high in silver and goldcompounds, which have become moreand more expensive. Silver blue or a goldruby color is just so beautiful! Most of thepieces I make are made a bit ‘backwards’ -I think ‘color before form’ which sometimescan be the kiss of death in glass.”Work by Pringle Teetor“Different colors of glass have verydifferent working temperatures – somecolors are very soft and fluid when atworking temperature and others canbe stiff at the same temperature, whichmakes blowing an even walled piece quitea challenge,” adds Teetor. “Combiningcontinued above on next column to the rightTable of ContentsLate Summer on the Chattooga RiverEach William Jameson Painting Workshop is designed to be an educational and entertainingexperience.

He has exhibited widely atvarious museums and galleries, includingthe John Elder Gallery, NY, NY; Funeria,San Francisco, CA; the SoutheasternCenter for Contemporary Art, Winston-Salem, NC; GreenHill, Greensboro, NC;and Blue Spiral Gallery, Asheville, NC.Ulinski’s work has been included in theSmithsonian Craft Show and the PhiladelphiaMuseum of Art Craft Show.

Fellowships includethose from the Vermont Studio Center andthe Virginia Center for the Creative Arts.In the exhibit, It All Goes Back ToChildhood, Kiki Farish’s drawings focuseson dichotomies. She explains, “In thisseries of drawings, I begin with text thatreflects conflict regarding my own family’swords of comfort: ‘Kiki, you’re notfat, you’re chubby.’” Blending abstractionand realism, Farish uses mark-making toboth express and suppress emotions in herworks. Fragments of realism that are presentin Farish’s works, give, as she states “asense of how we experience memory.”Warehouses, farms, towns, and citiesthat Ulinski passed on drives from Raleighto the beach inspired this body of work.Through a series of long Sunday drives,Ulinski gathered the subject matter for hispaintings. The works depict scenes spanningwinter through summer.Ulinski elaborates, “I was looking atthe way the light bounced off the farmbuildings, the abandoned warehouses andthe empty streets…As spring turned tosummer the last traces of gray disappearedreplaced by verdant greens and clear blueskies.

Within their work, time and processare inextricably interwoven so much sothat it is often difficult to tell where eachbegins / ends and / or begets the other.”Natalie Abrams utilizes wax on woodpanel to create sculptural, fluid pieces thatreflect on concepts that include transition,capturing moments of time, how our systemsand relationships mimic those foundin the natural world, and the disregard wesometimes have towards the future whileacting in the present.Abrams has exhibited work throughoutthe United States at venues including BallState University Atrium Gallery, Muncie,IN; Conrad Wilde Gallery, Tucson, AZ;The Gallery at R & F Paint, Kingston,NY; and the Denver International Airport,Denver, CO.

Austin State University, Nacogdoches,TX; and Preyed Upon, Art Avenue Gallery,Greenville, NC.Ray Duffey, with works on view inThought Maps & Ladders, is an artist whoexplores the relationships between wood,sculpture and furniture. He elaborates,“My current sculptural series combinesrefined woodworking with the rough qualityof reclaimed scrap material to create arelationship between vessel-like forms andtheir support structures. The structures actas a metaphor for those abstract social andfamilial networks that allow us to do whatwe do and make what we make.”Duffey has included for this exhibitiona number of individual wooden sculpturalforms referencing support structures, suchas scaffolding and railroad trestle bridges.The structures are linear and constructedof many small boards meticulously fittedand joined together. These connectionsmake up a network of cross bracing andtriangulation that create a support forforms that may resemble sea or air-goingvessels or perhaps seating of some sort.Duffey has exhibited nationally, beena resident artist at Maine College of Art,Portland, ME, and has assisted teachingworkshops at Penland School of Craftsand at Arrowmont School of Arts &Crafts.

In these particular studies, I have usedacrylic paint to experiment with color, line, andform and have laid open my process. I believethat independent of an artist, there is lifebloodwithin a work of art. A painting develops its ownvoice as it is being created and becomes part ofthe dialog with the artist and brush. In this playamong the partners, seemingly stray marks anddrips are a vital part of the painterly conversation,punctuating the lively give-and-take of the process.”Hours: Mon.-Thur., 9am-10pm & Fri.-Sat.,9am-11pm.

ThroughSept. 1 - "Tomory Dodge & Denyse Thomasos:Directions to a Dirty Place," organized bySECCA; curated by Steven Matijcio. Paint can beboth the image and the “stuff” of structure, movingbetween representation of place, and placeitself. The work of Denver-born, Los Angelesbasedartist Tomory Dodge and Trinidad-born,New York-based artist Denyse Thomasos slidebetween these poles in highly evocative ways.While much of Dodge’s imagery is drawn fromthings observed during excursions into theCalifornia desert, much is left to fantasy as hismaps move between geography and cosmology.Thomasos creates architecture with, and throughpaint – spanning multiple scales to suggest theblueprints of places half-real, half-imagined.Through Sept. 1 - "Hedieh Javanshir Ilchi: Aleaf from my rose garden," organized by SECCA;curated by Steven Matijcio. This exhibition is presentedwith the support of ART + Islam, a projectof the Thomas S. Kenan Institute for the Arts atthe UNC School of the Arts. The fluid, dream-likenavigation of trans-national iconographies (andtheir attendant ideologies) inform the work ofyoung Iranian-American artist Hedieh JavanshirIlchi. Meeting in the garden paradises of Islamicmyth, she marries contrasting traditions of ornamentalPersian painting with the defiant splattersand pours of Western abstraction. This exhibitiongathers a select grouping of Ilchi’s paintings fromthe past three years, highlighting her increasinglysculptural application of paint, and herincreasingly painterly rendering of politics. At theintersection, figures, animals and armies swimin and out of focus – negotiating a place wherethe borders of aesthetics are redrawn.

TheCMA organized the first retrospective museumexhibition of SC artist Steven Naifeh’s paintingsand sculpture. The exhibition features 26 largescaleworks of modern art, which reflect Naifeh’spersonal taste, preferences and attitudes aboutgeometric abstraction. In his art, Naifeh achievesa synthesis of West and East as well as old andnew, a blending of cultures recognized early onin the art he made here in America. His workrepresents universal harmony and attains thisgeometric symmetry beautifully with intellectualdiscipline, rigorous skill and authentic joy in theprocess of communication. Found in Translationis destined to inspire the community and opendoors to understanding cultures beyond our own.It shows visitors that what we share culturally isperhaps greater than what separates us. Abstractart, like Naifeh’s work, is capable of expressingcomplex ideas like unity and continuity.Thisexhibition is presented through the generosity ofMrs. Joyce Martin Hampton, The Hilliard FamilyFoundation and Dr. Gregory J. Wych. ThroughDec. 8 - "Figures and Forms: The Glass Sculptureof Rick Beck". Similar to a magician, artistRick Beck makes us look closely at what wethought we saw, only to see something differentthan expected, and become surprised, delightedand amazed. In his first one-person exhibition atthe CMA, Beck shows figures and forms sure tocapture the imaginations of visitors of all ages.Beck creates his glass sculptures using clayforms to create a silicone mold for recycled glass,which is fired to 1650 degrees Fahrenheit. Asthe molten glass takes the shape of the mold, itcan take anywhere from a couple of weeks to acouple of months to cool to room temperature.Diamond blades shape the sculptures, and theirsurfaces appear rough and unpolished. That isintentional. “I want light and color to pass through,but I want you to be looking at the form and thecolor, not at what’s pretty inside of it,” Beck said.Light and color passing through the sculptureinsteadof being on the surface only-can fool theeye and its interpretation of an object’s position inspace.
