SHARON LACEY
Main Gallery
Charleston, SC artist Sharon Lacey, a nationally recognized oil painter, is
known for her particular emphasis on the human figure. She typically begins with
no preconceived idea or preliminary sketch, preferring to develop imagery
through the process of painting. One layer of paint informs the next until an
image emerges that she recognizes, develops, and seeks to resolve.
Through May 28, 2010
CHAD COLE: DEEPER SOUTH: HIDDEN SYMBOLISM IN THE SOUTHERN LANDSCAPE
Creel-Harison Community Art Gallery
Augustan Chad Cole’s work is influenced by the literature, mythologies and
psychological underpinnings of the Southern Gothic. It is a response to subjects
including the works of Flannery O’Connor and William Faulkner, the landscape and
architecture of the Old South and the observable decay of Southern agrarian life
in the modern era.
Beginning May 1, 2010
THE ART BOX SERIES

ETHAN BROCK

With this exhibition Augusta resident Ethan Brock seeks to present a
progressive interactive environment—changing and adapting over its life,
evolving to show the working method and materials used to create the art. The
project is in part an examination of the dichotomy of how art is viewed and an
unveiling of how it is produced.
Reception on June 10, 6–8 p.m., in conjunction with the Raoul Pacheco opening.
