John Pendarvis
John Pendarvis is a native South Carolinian
whose art includes large collages, mixed media canvases, serigraphs
and works on paper. He is known for his canvases depicting the
music of Louis Armstrong and Charlie Parker, Kente Cloth, and
African masks. Pendarvis says, "My works are symbolic with
African tribal masks, many Southern themes and other objects that
are familiar to me".
For a half-century before the Second World War the little town
of Tryon, in the western North Carolina mountains near the South
Carolina border, was the South's most vital "country colony"
of visual artists.
Today, the tradition of that colony continues with a vibrant arts community in the area stretching from Landrum to Tryon and Saluda. Up The Hill, featuring works by artists from this area.
