SUMMARY:Robin Martindale: On and Off the Wall
DESCRIPTION:As I see it\, art-making is a meditative process. When I work\, I learn who I am. Visual
art is a way of communicating that is as visceral as music but much more
subtle\, particularly when it is non-representational or abstracted. We absorb
things visually and take joy in that vision without taking the time to name it. \nThe original idea for the exhibition was to propose a show at the old Toe River Arts Council space in Burnsville\, NC. The work would include small clay sculptural pieces that would hang on the wall in a group and abstract acrylic paintings. \nWhen the show was moved to the old library space in Burnsville\, I began to build larger sculptural pieces that use recycled materials\, such as plastic containers\, shells\, and scrap steel. Since the space is much larger than the original space I intended to use some of my larger sculptural pieces to fill in the space. \nI
offer these images to you and hope that they reveal a story to you that is
unique to you and that their ambiguity reveals our common humanity and that we
can feel the comfort of our similarities in them. \nWhen: August 3 – September 7 \nWhere: Owen Gallery

SUMMARY:Stanley Mace Anderson: 1978-2024
DESCRIPTION:Stanley Mace Andersen has been a studio potter since 1978. He works with earthenware clay and is concerned primarily with making utilitarian ware for the table and kitchen. He uses the majolica technique in decorating his pottery which is fired in an electric kiln to cone03. He wants his pottery to contribute to the enjoyment of preparing and presenting food. He paints quickly and directly on the raw glazed surface\, creating liquid flowing lines\, splashes of color\, and overlaps of brushstrokes. This creates a feeling of exuberance and casual spontaneity. Rhythm and grace in the brushstrokes are important to both his pleasure in the process and the final result. His continued use of this technique has evolved over time. The final product is important\, but “it is the process where I am most likely to find inspiration”. The exhibition will show the evolution of his work with pieces from past to present. \nWhen: August 10 – September 14\, 2024\nWhere: Kokol Gallery

SUMMARY:Walt Baker: Moods of the Blue Ridge
DESCRIPTION:The Blue Ridge Mountains are a special place that presents an infinitude of inspiring moments: Muted dusks\, the crystalline stillness of winter\, breezy high-country afternoons\, star-flecked heavens at midnight…the list is unending. There is a quality the Blue Ridge bestows on all who visit or live here that seldom fades. I am currently exploring these themes mainly using color\, texture\, and value. I use abstraction\, gesture\, and atmosphere to more closely identify with my experiences in these mountains. \nWhen: September 14 – December 31\, 2024\nWhere: Owen Gallery

SUMMARY:Mary Lynn Bowman and Jim Bowman\, Paintings and Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit is a retrospective of the past 30 years of work by Mary Lynn and Jim Bowman. Mary Lynn’s work includes paintings in oil/mixed media and wall-hung fused glass works. Jim’s work includes glass and mixed-media sculpture. \nAbout Mary Lynn Bowman \nMy artwork is a personal journal of my writings\, paintings\, and sketches. I refer to these things and my poetry when I work. \nI am never bored with experimenting with glass\, which always gives me fresh ideas in my artwork. I am challenged to use the materials and colors I have to express what I feel as a woman in her 70s trying to figure out my life in the present and what I have felt as a small girl child growing up in the 40s and 50s. My adolescence is still a mystery to be figured into my work at a later time. My work is narrative and reflects myself and my surroundings\, my fears\, and my joys. My imagery comes from my dreams\, from what I observe in humanity\, and from my search for the truth. \nAbout Jim Bowman \nI was born in Cameron\, Texas and currently live and work in Burnsville\, North Carolina. I have a Master of Fine Arts Degree in Glass\, and I have a passion for the creativity and ingenuity that glass art requires. My work ranges from small table-top pieces to large-scale sculptural and architectural installations. It includes blown glass vessels\, wall-mounted and free-standing sculptures\, and leaded glass architectural panels. \nMy autonomous work is sculptural in nature. It is an ongoing experimentation with glass forming processes. In much of my work\, I combine glass with other materials\, such and steel\, wood\, concrete\, and found objects. \nWhen: September 21 – December 31\, 2024\nWhere: Kokol Gallery
