Mark Flowers at Hodges Taylor Gallery
Glimpses of memory conjoined with a collage aesthetic in these journalistic paintings… Mark Flowers: Visual Memory was on view this past May, 2010 at Hodges Taylor Gallery in Charlotte
Painterly paintings – Ruth Franklin and Byron Gin at Adam Cave
This is a show for those interested in marking, scrapings and textures so painters in particular take note. It’s also been the ideal yin yang show in Raleigh this month. Franklin’s somber dark hues and strong figuration perfectly counterbalanced by Gin’s light airiness and confectionary color palette. Both artists are keenly interested in composition which [...]
of the three at Rebus Works
I’m really glad that Julie Armbruster, Alli Good, and Gabriel Shaffer brought their work to town (Raleigh that is.) The Asheville artists have given we here in the Triangle a glimpse of the diverse creativity at work up in western NC, lest we forget. This show, ending May 28th!, is a rollicking one and you [...]

Isn’t that Spatial?
While I’m not quite sure I’ll ever be on the same hyper-critical pedestal as the Church Lady, (can’t see myself as quite that gripey though I guess I better reserve the right as you never know what kind of mood might strike), I do like the play on words the Church Lady’s trademark phrase imparts [...]

The Birds and the Bees: Jenny Eggleston at Artspace
Jenny Eggleston’s Tulips is a lively little show. It is a radiant, cheerful affair which in its bold color and approachable subject matters seems almost to exist solely to brighten up the day. I took to heart the artist’s marvelous drawing technique which is for me the real cause for marvel and greatest strength [...]
Spectral Opulence – Van Bork & Ripple at 311 West Martin Street
The artist pairing in this month’s show at 311 W. Martin Street Galleries & Studios is a match made in heaven. 311 houses studios for a solid stable of Raleigh printmakers (among other media) and this show is very much in keeping with that particular in-house strength. Kristianne Ripple’s work sets out to motivate [...]

Go CAM Go!
A few pics from today’s long-awaited groundbreaking ceremony for Raleigh’s Contemporary Art Museum (CAM)… though much caution tape still prevails onsite (still aways to go before opening later this Fall in Spring of 2011) the momentum now underway is unmistakable. Speakers included Raleigh Mayor Meeker, NCSU College of Design Dean Marvin Malecha, and CAM’s Interim [...]
The Legend of John Brown
Getting the chance to see Jacob Lawrence speak when I was in art school in Portland, Oregon in the mid 1990′s was a thrill. (Lawrence was a professor at the University of Washington’s Art Department at the time and traveled down to the Portland Art Museum to give a talk in their lecture series.) For painters, Lawrence [...]
