SUMMARY:Lori Brook Johnson: A Nearly Concealed Heart
DESCRIPTION:This body of work explores labor and its effects on relationships\, self-esteem\, and one’s ability to grieve with a focus on the confident beauty that would have been expressed if loving care was given in place of exploitation. Born in the coal fields of West Virginia\, I reference my personal history as well as documentation from The Farm Security Administration and the National Child Labor Committee to compose new mixed media drawings to reflect on the generational ramifications of exploitative labor. The effort of this work is focused on healing and tending to things neglected or harmed in the past. This exhibit will include pieces composed around child labor\, the family\, and our relationships with animals and the immediate environment. \nWhen: April 26 – June 1\, 2024\nWhere: Owen Gallery

SUMMARY:Paint & Sip with Ivayla Gueorgiev
DESCRIPTION:Join painter and Toe River artist Ivaylo Gueorgiev for an evening of painting instruction and delicious summertime drinks. \nIn contrast to the conventional Paint and Sip format\, Ivaylo’s approach to teaching this class diverges towards a more engaging and creatively liberating experience. Rather than following the typical template of replicating a painting\, participants will be introduced to the realm of abstract art as an inspirational starting point. Beginning with a journey through art history\, attendees will gain insight into the evolution and diversity of abstraction. Through demonstrations of various painting techniques\, participants will be equipped with the tools to explore their own artistic visions. This departure from imitation towards personal expression fosters a deeper appreciation for art history while empowering individuals to embrace their creativity and produce unique artworks. \nRegister here. \nWhen: June 13\, 2024\, 5:30 pm – 8 pm\nWhere: Toe River Arts Owen Gallery\nCost: $35

SUMMARY:Marobeth Ruegg Oil Paintings: 2011-2014
DESCRIPTION:I think of my art as my part of a call-and-response song. The illimitable beauty of the earth is the call and my paintings are my response. I have chosen not to draw or depict scenes\, things\, objects. I aim to grapple with something less defined than anything that can be named. Forms\, colors\, and lines are what suggest an underlying layer to the visible identifiable everyday material world. \nAs a teenager\, I encountered works of Wassily Kandinsky in my hometown Fine Arts Center. This and other influences crystallized my real creative focus\, and after a career as a landscape designer\, I have returned to painting. \nWhen: June 15 – July 20\, 2024\nWhere: Owen Gallery

SUMMARY:John Hartom and Jenny Lou Sherburne: Syncopated Harmony
DESCRIPTION:This is an exhibition of two area artists\, working in different mediums\, using both color and pattern in an assertive and dramatic manner. Their objects work together in a clear and powerful way. Hartom’s work consists of original paintings and monoprints on paper. With an emphasis on color and pattern\, the process utilizes paint\, ink\, pastels\, pencil\, and oil-based crayons. His work includes blank journals (both Coptic stitch and case-bound)\, panel-mounted paintings (often multiple pieces arranged in a group)\, and individual framed pieces. \nSherburne is an artist striving to imbue her life and her work with a sense of growth\, energy\, and joy. Her ceramic objects\, both functional and nonfunctional\, utilize color in a dynamic and stunning way as every surface is lavished with color and pattern. From the smallest bowl to the largest sculpture\, each object is a delight to behold with its excess of richness. \nThe exhibition includes the work of each artist displayed as in a one-person show with plenty of space around individual pieces. In some cases\, each artist will create a cluster of similar objects adding sculptural interest. At other times the work of both will be installed together to take visual advantage of the connection of color and pattern. Each piece in this exhibition demonstrates a sophistication gained only with many years of concentrated effort. \nWhen: June 22 – July 27\, 2024\nWhere: Kokol Gallery

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
