"Summer Solstice"
In keeping with the spirit of a particlarly colorful spring, Fountainside Gallery is opening a large, all new collection of works by gallery artists, titled "Summer Solstice". Approximately 100 paintings will fill the gallery for this exhibit. The show runs June 27 - July 30 and opens with a reception on June 27, 6-8pm.
The definition of solstice is the longest day of the year and the beginning of the summer season. It also means the "highest point"; that definition certainly applies to the incoming art. Everything has been created, labored over, tweaked and touched by the artists, sometimes for many months. The results are amazing. Whether it is the efforts of more local artists such as Jacob Cooley, Paula Holtzclaw, MT McClananhan, Mary Rountree Moore, Joe Seme, Hilda Spain-Owen, Mike Rooney or Sandy Nelson, all of North Carolina or the superb strokes of our more far flung artists, the gallery buzzes with excitement. From the classical realism of Chris Groves, Mark Horton and Qiang Huang to the exuberant color of Trey Finney, Christine Debrosky, Anda Styler, the variety of expression is endless. The lyrical florals of Tami Cardnella and the quiet poetry of Barrie Van Osdell hang well with the pastel landscapes of Kathleen Newman and the figure work of Andre Kohn. Cityscapes by Jeff Jamison and Andrew McDermott complement the pastoral fields and marshes of David Weiss, Rani Garner and Rick McClure. Modern works by Elena Madden, Jacob Cooley and mary Rountree Moore round out this "something for everyone" show.
