Center of the Earth Gallery in Charlotte, NC, Offers Annual Pleasure Places Exhibit

The group exhibition Pleasure Places IV will take place Jan. 16 through Feb. 28, 2004, at Center of the Earth Gallery in Charlotte, NC. Participating artists include: Katherine Grossfeld, William Harsh, Page Laughlin, Elena Madden, Ruth Ava Lyons, Gail Wegodsky, Lael Weyenberg. These artists explore interior and exterior worlds with varied styles and approaches.

Ruth Ava Lyons' paintings present a quiet and contemplative world. A highly personal iconography speaks of spiritual and poetic reflection in a world of overwhelming information. Page Laughlin creates densely layered images of interior spaces, reminiscent of Architectural Digest and House Beautiful, which make for an intriguing investigation of painterly space.

In dynamic, colorful abstract paintings, Elena Madden captures the fleeting pattern and light of moving water that suggests nature's rhythms. William Harsh's still-lifes have a monumental quality. The arrangements of familiar yet animated images are curiously inviting.

Katherine Grossfeld is a featured artist in American Painting 2003. Her renderings of marbles and intimate objects are playful and tantalizing distractions. Lael Weyenberg takes us to exotic European locations of mystery and retreat with his works.

Gail Wegodsky's most recent retrospective at the Oglethorpe Museum in GA revealed her meticulous attention to detail, and masterful renaissance technique. Her works in this exhibition will display those same qualities.
