Release Date: 3/21/2009. Expired: 5/2/2009
The Renaissance Center is excited to announce four new eclectic exhibitions opening March 27th through May 2nd in the Visual Art Gallery, East Wing Gallery, North Wing Gallery and Display Cases.
The Visual Arts Gallery presents the work of Nashville Artist Ken White. White doesn’t depend on conventional composition techniques but instead creates dynamic painting through relying on his own intuition and emotional response to the subject. His paintings vary from the thick painting style of impressionism to the splatter of abstract expressionism. White is an avid painter and has brought over 30 paintings for display in the Visual Arts Gallery.
On display in the East Wing Gallery, artist Randy Simmons’ drawings depict in striking reality the relationship between children and parents and the complex relationship of spouses including issues of domestic violence. Simmons uses extreme light and dark values in his drawings to create drama and further a narrative.
The North Wing will feature a contemporary installation by artist Kristina Arnold. Installation art is the art of using sculptural material or other special media in a way that transforms the space. Arnold has created kudzu vines out of recycled materials such as plastic shopping bags and bottles, which will consume the space. She is interested in the way everyday materials can become like kudzu and take over whole environments.
Ken Rowe’s ceramic busts will be on show in the Display Cases. Rowe, new to fatherhood, has created ceramic baby faces. His works are typically small scale of a quirky or sardonic nature. He pays huge attention to detail when sculpting as he allows his imagination to run free. Rowe’s work is a mix of character study, historical events and general examination of oddity.
A free open reception will take place from 6pm-7:30pm on March 27th.The Renaissance Center is an arts, technology education and performing arts center just 35 miles west of Nashville.
