March 2009 Shows & Receptions
 
Date:  Saturday, March 21st, 2009   Time:  6:00 PM to 8:00 PM
 
Two-Person Show
Jim Carson and Marguerite Hankins
 
Figurative painter Jim Carson relives the splendor and drama of the romantic West through the eyes of the Native Americans, fur trappers and pioneers who roamed the rugged frontier.  Carson relies on historical research and then paints tales of victories, battles and struggles, with knowledge and skill.  The heroism and dramatic settings in Carson paintings capture the imagination of the viewer.  His rich layering of detailed figures, logistic accuracy and masterful story-telling combine to create a never to be forgotten painting.
 
After spending most of her adult life in the hustle-bustle of the New York metropolitan area, Marguerite Hankins has achieved a desire to return to her rural roots, both physically and through her nostalgic paintings.  After several years as a fashion designer, she married and during the years that she raised her family she kept active in art.  In 1999 she became a student of James Childs, noted for his classic mythological themes and as a noted portrait painter in New York City.  Marguerite is known for her paintings inspired by old photographs and this is her passion.  She is challenged by bringing the details of photographs to life, and especially enjoys capturing the fabric and design of old clothing, period costumes and figures in landscape settings.  She is a gifted portraitist and captures the character of her subjects through their eyes and weathered faces.     The show will hang until March 28th.

          

 

Date:  Saturday, March 14th, 2009   Time:  6:00 PM to 8:00 PM

 

Two-Person Show

Evgeny & Lydia Baranov
 
May Gallery is pleased to present new works by the dynamic painting collaborative team, Evgeny and Lydia Baranov.  Working as a duet, both in the studio and en plein air, the Baranovs rely on their Russian heritage and training to create paintings of depth - emotion, color, and challenge.  Whether it's a portrait, a genre, a landscape or a still life, their art is completely captivating.  Their extensive travels throughout Europe and the US yield subject matter that is as exciting as it is diverse.  The show will hang for one week.
