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.
