Gallery presents group show of large format works
Sunset River Gallery in Calabash, NC will present a group show titled Setting the Mood, opening Saturday, April 1 and running through Saturday, May 13. The exhibition will feature large format art pieces ranging from 30 by 30 inches to 48 by 60 inches.
Gallery director Samantha Spalti said, “We’ve had a growing number of clients asking for large pieces to help them set the mood for a room, so this show is in direct response to that. A large painting is often a centerpiece – above a sofa, over a dining room table, anchoring a gallery wall. Indeed, it sets the mood. And with our 10,000 square foot space of fine regional art, Sunset River Gallery is in a unique position to showcase that art. The selection in this show offers a range of both media and style, all to help our clients ‘set the mood.’”
Featured in the show are works by fine regional oil painters, Betty Anglin Smith, Connie Winters, Pat Puckett, Ruth Cox, Rich Flanagan, Nancy McClure, Bayou Gray, Mary Welch Austin, Nancy Hughes Miller, Carol Iglesias; and acrylic artists, Ginny Lassiter, Cristiana Rioli, Roberta Rotunda, and Sterling Edwards.
Spalti adds, “The artists in the show represent a wonderful mix of style and genre – representational to abstract, traditional to contemporary. We think visitors will love this exhibit.”
