Revolving Exhibitions

Please contact the coordinator for the exhibit(s) that you would like to be considered for.
"Art About Town"
exhibition at The Chestnut Tree Teahouse and Bistro, on the Denton town square.
Works by Teri Muse will be displayed April 8th through July 8th.
Shari Turner's work will follow.
Teri Muse Artist Statement:
The creative process will always amaze me.
It is an elusive thing that happens, and is precious.
My work has been inspired by a love of COLOR and TEXTURE. I love the beautiful gradations of colors in Odilon Redon, Georgia O'Keeffe and Helen Frankenthaler's works. The lines and colorful patterns in Henri Matisse's work delight me. Pablo Picasso, Joseph Cornell and Louise Nevelson inspire me with their use of mixed media and assemblage/collage in their art. These artists were creative and productive their whole lives. Their lives and their works encourage me to keep working.
|
|
|
|
Straight and Narrow
|
|
Over the years I have worked in a variety of media; acrylic, handmade paper, wood assemblage, and encaustic wax painting. Collage is often an important part of my work in any media, since I collect things. My studio is filled with stacks of handmade papers, fabrics, geographic maps, postage stamps, and other miscellaneous items. I often embed these items from our lives into my works in an effort to create connections with the viewer by using symbols of our sense of place, our communications, memories and associations. Then there is that constant desire to create COLOR and TEXTURE that compel one to pause and look.
The Chestnut Tree Teahouse and Bistro is locally owned and is located at 107 West Hickory Street on the Denton Square. The hours are Monday through Saturday from 9am until 3pm.
Coordinator for exhibit:
Lin Hampton at linhamptonart@gmail.com

A few of the paintings were completed en plein aire, and others were painted in the artist's studio from photographs.

Byrd has painted with watercolor for 47 years and studied with many watercolor instructors, traveling and painting in 12 different countries. She was a participant in many travel trips with the late Rob Erdle, Professor Emeritus of Watercolor at UNT. Her work has been published in several books and magazines, and her paintings are included in public and private collections through the US.
Nel occasionally teaches watercolor classes, presents demonstrations, and conducts workshops. She co-operated a fine art gallery and frame shop in Plano for 21 years.

Summer Pop-Up Exhibition: Works by Benjamin Terry
Summer 2016, FREE
Benjamin Terry's recent wall-bound sculptures possess forms, textures, and colors of the unconscious mind. The handmade quality, rough-hewn scratches and scribbles, and rudimentary, rounded shapes summon a child-like past where simplified things hold deep and mysterious meanings. Terry received his BFA and MFA in drawing and painting from the University of North Texas. He has exhibited work in numerous solo and group shows across the DFW area, Houston, and nationally. He was featured in vol. 96 of New American Paintings: West Issue, and received both the Dallas Museum of Art's Clare Hart Degoyler and Arch and Anne Giles Kimbrough awards. He teaches drawing and painting at the University of North Texas and Eastfield College.

Not from Baltimore Album Quilts: Recent Works by the Denton Quilt Guild
Opening Reception, Thursday, June 16, 5:00 - 7:00 PM
June 17 - July 27, 2016, FREE
Baltimore Album Quilts originated in Baltimore, Maryland in the 1840s and quickly became one of the most popular quilting styles far beyond Baltimore. These exquisite pieces are made up of a number of appliquéd blocks, each with a different design and motif. This exhibition features Baltimore Album Quilts made by members of the Denton Quilt Guild which were often designed by the makers, although antique quilts and patterns from the past and present served as inspiration. The complexity of the designs in the quilts demonstrates the skill and taste of the maker. Many hours were devoted to the creation of each of them as they are all destined to become family heirlooms.
