A receptionwill be held on May 11, from 6-9pm.Injoo Whang’s work examines theinterconnectedness between the individualand the collective. She accumulates singlepattern, cut-out paper or fabric to createdrawings or installations. When these tinyindividual pieces are gathered together,they generate a powerful existence as acollective body.Injoo is interested in creating visualillusion and the energy of the collective.Recently her work has expanded to consider,or adapt, to the space in which it isbeing presented.Caitlin Masley is often reconstructingspace and architectural situations fromideas of possible worlds suiting the needsof changing landscape and its mobilepopulation. The base of all this workbegins with images from political mediaoutlets, mining online archives, or takingfrom her own photos when she can, fromgeopolitical and social structural projectsaround the world.

It was duringthose years that Groves learned to love theoutdoors and nature.At the age of ten, Groves’ family returnedto Boulder where he continued his explorationof nature with countless hikes, mountainclimbs and camping trips. His parentsgave him a nature-drawing book andGroves latched onto it as a source of aweand inspiration. He would spend countlesshours copying the drawings and enhancingthem with his own interpretation.After graduating from the University ofColorado at Boulder with a BFA in EnvironmentalDesign, Groves spent the nextten years as an art director for two largecompanies, all the while continuing to studyand hone his fine art skills.Work by Chris GrovesGroves has studied at the Florence Academyof Art in Italy, the Colorado Academyof Art, the Loveland Art Academy, the CottonwoodArt Academy and the Denver ArtsStudents League.

Hermulti-layered oil paintings feature facelessfigures surrounded by butterflies, fruitsand numeric notations - symbolism thatalludes to questions of feminine duality,intuition and fertility.Jacob’s technique of generously thinningher paints with linseed oil and othermediums allows the paint to drip andflow, simultaneously removing pigmentfrom underlying layers while establishinga new outer surface. The effect is bothunifying and dissolving which Jacob seesas “a metaphor for memory, slippery andsometimes blurred.”Duy Huynh creates narratives of thehuman condition with ethereal charactersmaintaining a serene, precarious balance,often in a surreal or dreamlike setting.With his figures, Huynh explores motionalong with emotion in order to portraynot just the beauty of the human form,but also the triumph of the human spirit.He pulls from a variety of influences andimagery, especially anything with the abilityof flight, to portray physical or spiritualtransformation. Recurring themes includefloating figures, butterflies, moths, hot airballoons, boats and trains.Huynh’s acrylic paintings are rich indepth and textural qualities. His palette ismuted, often counter-balanced with burstsof vibrant color or the use of soft light,such as the warm glow of lunar moths ina dark forest. Images, or backgrounds, areaccented with the use of patterns createdwith his growing collection of vintageIndian wood block stamps and stencils.Huynh hopes to inspire wonder and enableviewers to embark upon their ownjourney.Growing up Jennifer Mecca wasgreatly influenced by the traditions andrituals of her Italian-American extendedfamily. Among the most prevalent of thesetraditions were the preparation, presentationand eating of elaborate meals. Thisserved as a foundation for her interest inutilitarian pottery and love of creatingelaborate surfaces and forms.Work by Duy HuynhWorking in porcelain, Mecca strivesto create pots that are visually pleasingand unique in character, but useful ineveryday life. Fabric, wrapping papersand fashion, inspire her surfaces, rich incolor and often decorated with abstractedfloral motifs. Whether a bottle vase, servingbowl or butter dish her forms and linequality evoke a sense of playfulness andfeminine sensibilities. Although childhoodmemory plays a large role in her pots,Mecca’s work is also informed with heradult memories and the moment of creation– with each piece inscribed with themonth made along with a simple message,random thought or factual note – whateveris on her mind in the moment.For more info check our NC CommercialGallery listings, call 704/334-4616 orvisit (www.larkandkey.com).Mary Lou Sussman, Trace a Path, 2010, Monotype, 34 x 28 inchesGallery ArtistsFeaturingthe work ofMary Lou Sussmana r t c o n s u l t a n c yProviding expertise tobusinesses and individuals.Connecting the publicwith artists in meaningfulways through projects,programming andcommunity partnerships.401 North Tryon StreetCharlotte, North Carolina 28202704.334.3799www.hodgestaylor.com

When looking at the 44 chairs in ThePage 10 - Carolina Arts, April 2012Art of Seating, however, there is much moreto see than simple pieces of furniture.

Usually between my encounterswith nature and my work with paint,something I never before realized aboutthe landscape becomes clear. Often the actof painting, and then contemplating theproduct, consists of insights and feelingswhich can have no verbal explanation.Work by Michael FowlerMy artistic experiences with paint (andhopefully your experiences as you pauseto view and contemplate) remind us thatseeing comes before words. Art reachesbeyond the verbal and gives form to theemotional. As John Berge said, ‘Art is anorganized response to what nature allowsus to glimpse occasionally.’”Fowler’s work is included in museums’exhibits and corporate and private collectionsincluding Wake Forest UniversityBaptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem,NC; Fredericksburg, VA; Eastern KentuckyUniversity; the Medical College ofGeorgia Cancer Center, the McColl Centerfor Visual Art in the Hearst Tower inCharlotte, NC; Trinity Arts Conference atthe University of Dallas, Dallas, TX, andin Nashville, TN, Lincoln, NE, KansasCity, MO, Sacramento, CA and St Paul,MN.Fowler is an Associate Professor ofDesign and Mary Durban Toole Chair incontinued above on next column to the rightTable of Contents2123 Park Street • Columbia, SC 29201 • (803) 254-0842mouse_house@prodigy.net • http://mousehouseinc.blogspot.comArt at the University of South CarolinaAiken, Aiken, SC.

This discipline hashelped each artist in their personal growthand both enjoy the connection they feelwith the model. And yet each artist approachesthe subject differently. Goldbergpaints the model from the inside out,while Smith paints from the outside in.“My work as a painter takes me to thefigure as it moves in space.

I believeit is important to engage the viewer in awork of art and I see it as collaborationbetween the model, the artist, and theviewer. We, as artists and as lovers ofart, understand that art is what teaches uswhat is important in life and defines thosemoments that we all have when beautybecomes reality.”Goldberg is a self-taught artist whohas studied with many notable paintersincluding Alex Powers, Katherine ChangLiu, Glenn Bradshaw, Ernest Velardi, DonAndrews, Sigmund Abeles, and CaroleBarnes. Her work is in private collectionsin the United States, Canada, and France.“In all of my work, the subject is thelight, and how it falls across the form,”says Smith. “I am endlessly fascinatedwith the figure and how the muscles moveunder the skin and around the skeletalbones. With my paint, I follow the lightas it curves around the body and disappearsinto the shadows. I try to capture themodel as I see her-and the characteristicsthat make her unlike anyone else.”continued on Page 15Carolina Arts, April 2012 - Page 13

Several dozenmore new and older cyborg creatures areincluded in the exhibition.Environmental concerns are key toCianni’s art. “Being in the metal fabricationindustry,” he says, “has made me seethe extreme need for recycling. I promotereusing the components I come in contactwith during my daily work. Many of thesescrap components, which can no longer beused for a job, end up as a part of my art.”The exhibition is the first time CianniPage 16 - Carolina Arts, April 2012will show his work at an art center orgallery.

For many years he has beenassociated with his sensitive figure paintingsthat are deeply rooted in the romanticimpressionist tradition. Recognizing theinfluence of Edouard Vuillard, PierreBonnard, Gustav Klimt and the AbstractExpressionists, McCaw has begun to infusehis work with a heightened awarenessthat frees it from literal representation ofthe subject.Work by John McCawJohn McCaw is Dan’s eldest son.

Growing up in an environment whereartistic expression was not only encouraged,but nurtured allowed Danny toquickly develop a maturity to his artworkthat was lacking in other young artists.However, being constantly surrounded bypainters, poets and photographers madeDanny even more determined to developan individual style of his own that wouldset him apart from the other members ofhis family.Attending the El Camino College, theScottsdale Artists School, and studyingwith the well known figurative painterSteve Huston, Danny developed a methodof painting that has since become his signature.Favoring dark colors that allow fordramatic lighting, Danny paints with anemotion that the viewer can see long afterthe paint has dried. Working in a spontaneousmanner that allows for more “giveand take”, Danny works with his paintingsover long periods of time, enjoying thestruggle it takes to create a masterpiece.For further information check our SCCommercial Gallery listings, call the galleryat 843/842-4433 or visit(www.morriswhiteside.com).Art League of Hilton Head onHilton Head Island, SC,Offers Works by Vickie JourdanThe Art League of Hilton Head onHilton Head Island, SC, will present theexhibit, For The Love of Red, featuringrecent works by Vickie Jourdan, on viewin the Walter Greer Gallery in the ArtsCenter of Coastal Carolina, from Apr. 2 -28, 2012.

One is reminded of oldtravel letters where notes and commentaryhave been interrupted by a visual notationdrawn the correspondent. This handwrittendiary may or may not be legible orintelligible, but it draws the viewer to acloser inspection and provides a sense ofintimacy that a standard watercolor usuallydoes not evoke. Nicholson is oftenpulled to decrepit buildings showing therichness of neglect but he also paints otherarchitectural scenes in a manner of elevatingthem to a singular attention. It neednot be a building for the artist to see thestructural integrity (or disintegration) deservingpreservation on paper. Or perhapsthe artist is pointing out how words haveoverrun the solidity of structures.The artist’s works have appeared inBatture, the LSU School of ArchitectureJournal in an article in 2004 entitled PresentImperfect that described his thoughtsrelative to his paintings and the south.“All of the work represents sites in a stateof transformation… the images can bedivided up into three subjects of study---the ruin, the machine, and light.

Redux Contemporary ArtCenter in Charleston, SC,Offers Works by Colin QuashieRedux Contemporary Art Center inCharleston, SC, is presenting the exhibit,The Plantation (Plan-ta-shun), featuringworks by local artist, Colin Quashie, onview through May 6, 2012. A receptionwill be held on Apr. 6, from 6-8pm. Therewill be an artist talk starting at 7pm. OnApr. 7, a panel discussion is scheduledfor 3 - 4:30pm. It will be moderatedby art critic and art history professor atSC State University, Frank Martin. Thepanelists will be Dr. Millicent Brown,history professor at Claflin College, MarkSloan, Director of the Halsey Instituteof Contemporary Art, and lastly, AdamParker, features reporter with the Post andCourier newspaper.Quashie is an artist of this time. Thecontroversy that surrounded the BattleFlag of the Confederacy which flew defiantlyabove South Carolina’s State Capitolbuilding engenders precisely the form ofpolemic exchange in which he feels mostat ease. Quashie’s wry, ironic, and irreverentart works are especially timely, forcinghis audience to consider difficult culturalproblems which they may often prefer toavoid. In this Post-modern era, Quashie’shighly political art may be categorized as“conceptual” and “journalistic”. Artistically,and aesthetically, much of his work isclosely allied to the ideals of the Pop-ArtMovement of the 1960s & 70s. However,the subject matter he presents is radicallydifferent from the topics explored in theearlier Pop-Art genre. What is singularabout a “Quashie” point of view? Whatdoes this Charleston iconoclast have thatdemands our notice?In this post-modern era, Quashie’shighly charged political art may be called“conceptual”. Artistically and aesthetically,much of his art is closely allied tothe ideals of the pop-art movement of the1960’s and 70’s, but the subject matteris radically different from that exploredin the earlier genre. By exploring thereservoir of possibilities offered by theresources of popular cultural imagery andusing the mechanisms of representation,media based communication and satire,artist Quashie investigates serious cultural,social, and political ideas and issues,with sometimes raucous, sometime genial,tongue-in-cheek humor.On occasion, Quashie addresses culturalissues using witty, scathing sarcasmintended to spark popular debate and discussionamong his viewing audience. Operatingin the tradition of the avant-garde,Quashie challenges status quo social andcultural assumptions. His works oftenplay upon various popular stereotypesand ridicule irrational cultural assumptionsin order to trigger an awareness ofour personal limits in understanding eachother’s daily life experiences. Functioningthrough the use of positive “social” anger,fed by his frustration with the vision ofthe masses, a vision which he hopes tohelp re-shape and determine, Quashie useshis artwork to raise questions that involvescrutinizing the power bases of our socialsystem, causing us to examine our collectivepolitical perceptions. Quashie’sworks challenge us to be more thoughtful,expressive, and aware.Quashie’s artworks face off againsthard to handle issues of culture, politics,and race with a self-conscious awarenessthat often offends (or at least disturbs)blacks, whites and “others”; he discriminateswith equality and equanimity.Quashie is equal to the hard questions thathe raises, but often the issues are camouflagedin pop-culture imagery and a formof Warholesque flashiness which confoundsas it derides the spectator. Operatingin the tradition of the French avantegardeartists, Quashie challenges the statusquo mentality. His works often play uponvarious popular stereotypes, and ridiculeirrational cultural assumptions to triggeran awareness of our personal limitsin understanding each other’s daily lifeexperiences.Functioning through the use of positive“social” anger, fed by his frustrationwith the vision of the masses, a visionwhich he hopes to help re-shape and determine,Quashie uses his artwork to raisequestions that involve scrutinizing thepower bases of our social system, causingus to examine our collective politicalperceptions. The Quashie point of viewmakes its mark by challenging us to bemore thoughtful, more expressive, andmore aware.Quashie was born in London, England(1963) and raised in the West Indies.At age six, his parents emigrated to theStates and settled in Daytona Beach, FL.The artist briefly attended the Universityof Florida on a full academic scholarship,but felt ill at ease in academia andleft, eventually joining the Navy as asubmarine sonarman. It was there that hislifelong love for art re-emerged. After hisdischarge in 1987, he made the decisionto pursue an art career. Showing steadygrowth, his art career ended abruptly in1995 after an exhibition was censored.Frustrated with the art world, he abandonedart, moved West and landed a job asa comedy sketch writer on Mad-TV. Hislove for art re-emerged two years later andsince then, in between writing gigs (hehas written for five other comedy seriesand in 2001 received an Emmy awardfor documentary writing), he continuesto produce his unique brand of art. Helives in Charleston, where he paints whilecontinuing to write.Artist Statement: “Sometimes,stretched at ease in the shade of a roadsidetree, we watch the motions of a labourerin a distant field, and after a time, beginto wonder languidly as to what the fellowmay be at. We watch the movements ofhis body, the waving of his arms, we seehim bend down, stand up, hesitate, beginagain. it may add to the charm of an idlehour to be told the purpose of his exertions.If we know he is trying to lift astone, to dig a ditch. to uproot a stump,we look with a more real interest at hisefforts; we are disposed to condone thejar of his agitation upon the restfulness ofthe landscape; and even, if in a brotherlyframe of mind, we may bring ourselvesto forgive his failure. We understood hisobject, and, after all, the fellow has tried,and perhaps he had not the strength – andperhaps he had not the knowledge. weforgive, go on our way – and forget.And so it is with the workman of art.Art is long and life is short, and success isvery far off. And thus, doubtful of strengthto travel so far, we talk a little about theaim – the aim of art, which, like life itself,is inspiring, difficult – obscurred by mists.It is not in the clear logic of a triumphantconclusion; it is not in the unveiling ofone of those heartless secrets which arecalled the Laws of Nature. It is not lessgreat, but only more difficult.”- Preface; ‘The Nigger Of The Narcissus’,Joseph Conrad, 1897For further information check our SCInstitutional Gallery listings, call the Centerat 843/722-0697 or visit(www.reduxstudios.org).RainBro Row (poster), 18” x 24”, Photoshop manipulated photo.

These four artist have commonthreads running through their work, not onlythat they all use watercolor, but many otherfacets bind them together as a group.The groups’ love of ‘craftsmanship’ andthe ability to provide a realistic interpretationof their chosen subjects is apparent.However, their art is not just about portrayingthe realistic elements of their subjects,or proving their superb technical ability,but an endeavour to give meaning to theirsubjects.

Whilemany of his works make use of foundobjects - including bottle caps, milk tins,and cassava graters - the artist says thathis sculp tures are less about recycling orsalvaging than about seeking meaning inthe ways materials can be transformed tomake statements about history, culture,and memory.The exhibition provides visitors withthe opportunity to view not only thespectacular metal sculptures for whichAnatsui has received widespread acclaim,but also his works from a long and richcreative practice. Included are paintingsand drawings from various stages in theartist’s career.

Working within agrid brings order to the seemingly randomchoices of subjects. A stream-of-consciencenarrative is formed from the juxtapositionof images, with Norval painting one squareat a time. This allows the work to evolveorganically without a preconceived finishedproduct.

He started out as a sculptorbut quickly was recognized for his abilityto draw. Upon initial encounter by viewers,his graphite works are often mistakenas photographs due in large part to theirextremely precise detail. However, whenexamined at close range, the mark makingapproaches abstraction. “And keepin mind that these pieces were done atvery close range,” said gallery owner LeeHansley, who organized the show. “Thatmeans the artist developed a method ofdrawing that, when viewed from a shortdistance, the marks coalesced into realisticrepresentation,” he added.One drawing in the exhibition, entitledBoseman, Montana, is a four-panel workon paper. Each panel is 72 x 48 inches,creating a polyptych that is an amazingsix feet tall by 16 feet wide when placedside-to-side. In the gallery, there was nowall wide enough to accommodate thatconfiguration, so the panels were “folded”into a corner, taking up space on twoperpendicular walls.Fort McAllister, Georgia, by Ben Bernsgraphite, he added color and turned topainting in the last 30 years of his life.He was fond of the Sauratown Mountainsin Stokes County, north of his home inGreensboro, and he painted scores ofworks there. He later moved to Marylandwhere he began painting wetlands andlandscapes with water features like rivers,ponds and lakes.It is interesting to note the absence ofhumans in the Berns landscape. Occasionally,the viewer will see a plowed field,a garden or a small structure among thelush, verdant scenes. But the viewer willsee no human beings, just some evidenceof human presence.Berns was born in Ginnejen, TheNetherlands, on May 15, 1936. Encouragedby his mother, he began painting atage eight. Bored with school, Berns quit at14 and went to work in a printery. He laterapprenticed with a lithographer in Amsterdam.He served his required two-yearstint in the Dutch army and then settled inParis, absorbing himself in the art scenefor five years.Berns immigrated to the United Statesin 1963 on an invitation of Pratt GraphicArt Center, where he taught printmaking.He supported himself by building lofts inthe Soho section of Manhattan. While inNew York City he sold Japanese printsand operated an art gallery.Table of ContentsMoore’s Knobb, Sauratown Mountains, by Ben BernsIn 1970 Berns was invited to teachpainting and drawing at the Universityof North Carolina at Greensboro.

He uses a technique calledwater carving that mimics erosion. Hepaints paraffin on his dry, unfired pots andthen washes the surface with a very wetsponge. The possibilities of this techniquehelped to create the patterns and linesused in decorating his pots.McKerley didn’t envision a style toseek out but was led to his current body ofwork by following this technique. Certainlines and shapes are possible in watercarving and these are the lines and shapesin his work.McKerley looks to mass-producedglass, metal and plastic for inspirationjust as much as he looks to contemporaryand historic pottery. The recent drawingson his work come from diagrams, imagesof cells and viruses, Mayan glyphs andsymbols used in mathematics.

Mira GerardSingh paints figures as if they exist in adream-state, entering the landscape andexperiencing moments of presence thatseem to erase everything from the pastand future. In painting these subjects, thatacknowledge a desire to forget, remember,and transcend, she seeks to do the same.In Greek Mythology, the river Lethe,one of five rivers of the underworld, wasknown as the river of forgetfulness. Itflowed through the cave of Hypnos, godof sleep, where its murmuring wouldinduce drowsiness, and the shades of thedead were required to drink its waters inorder to forget their earthly life. Interestingly,the ancient Greek term for truth,Aletheia, (a- “not” + lethe “oblivion, forgetfulness”),literally means “not forgetting”or “un-forgetting.” Truth, then, canalso be understood as “remembering.”“My paintings of figures in cinematicWoolworth Walk in Asheville, NC,will present the exhibit An Artist’s Garden,featuring paintings by Fredreen Bernatovicz,on view in the FW Front Galleryfrom Apr. 1 - 29, 2012.

She revels inspending endless hours outdoors, paintingand breathing in all that nature provides.Bernatovicz is filled with deep gratitudethat her paintings can bring the spirit oflandscapes are a way of attempting to addressthe tangled process of coming intobeing” said Singh. “The images I workwith signify memories and fantasies andare rooted in an idea of being on display,skin exposed, which in turn relates tothe skin of the painting. Alongside theseimpulses exists a wish to disappear, or atleast to be defined by the dangerousnessof an imagined apocalyptic sublime.”Singh grew up in a secluded Ashramin New Hampshire. Her father, painterJonas Gerard, encouraged her work froman early age, and as a child she spent a lotof time in his studio painting and drawing.She went on to receive a BFA fromIndiana University in Bloomington, IN,and an MFA from the University of Georgiain Athens, GA.

Through May 27 -"Presence/Absence". The photographs in thisexhibition, all from the North Carolina Museumof Art’s permanent collection, reveal the constantmutual exchange between an environmentand its inhabitants.

The absenceof people leaves an empty loneliness in someof the works; abandoned buildings, forgottenlandscapes, and discarded possessions hint atthe histories of former residents. In other worksabsence is just the moment before presence, ahopeful promise of a human connection soon tocome.
