Distinctive Aesthetics: Exploring Four Artistic Narratives
February 7 – March 14, 2025
Opening Reception: February 7, 2 – 4 p.m.
Four friends. Four artists. Four wildly different approaches to their art – the common thread being that they each upend the concept of mixed media, using tools and materials to build layered pieces in a very unexpected fashion. The creative results reflect the out-of-the-box thinking of all four. Participating artists are Kathleen Spicer, oil paint & wood; Kathleen V. Stuart, fiber & encaustic; Therese Bisceglia, oil paint & found objects; Michelle McKDavis, oil paint & thread. Each artist takes traditional painting and sculpture ideas beyond expected boundaries. We think you’ll find the work as exciting and interesting as we do!
We have a limited number of openings for professional caliber artists who reside or have a studio in North or South Carolina. We are looking for the best of the best – accomplished artists with passion, talent, and a body of work to present. From our perspective, your work should both stand out and work well with other pieces in the gallery. Ask yourself: does your art distinguish itself? How do you feel it would fit at Sunset River Gallery? Do you continue to grow as an artist? Can you meet the requirements of an artist in our gallery? Submissions run from February 1 – 15, 2025.
