Charleston's City Gallery Presents Exhibition by Emily K. Jenkins
The City Gallery
at the Dock Street Theatre in Charleston, SC, will present an
exhibit of oil on canvas by local artist Emily K. Jenkins, entitled
New Works by Emily K. Jenkins, on view from Apr. 15 through
May 13, 2002.
Jenkins first began painting with oils at Wake Forest University. Shortly after graduating in 1995 with a double major in Studio Art and English, she then moved to Charleston. She has been painting since 1992, and has been painting full-time since 2000. Jenkins is also co-owner of Tiemaker's Gallery on Spring Street in Charleston, which opened in 2000. She has exhibited her work throughout the area since 1997, and was chosen for the Piccolo Spoleto Juried Art Exhibition in 2000 and 2001.
Jenkins comments on her work, "My work uses color and the act of painting to create harmonies and dissonance in a visual language. I embrace the meanings in color, and I use colors that do not fuse into tonal harmonies, but which maintain their own intensive identities. The combinations of colors set up a movement among the clashing and contrasting colors. In my work, color has its own rhythms, its own structure, and should be celebrated for itself. Through scumbling and glazing numerous layers of paint, the color composition becomes richer and even more rhythmic. My work is the abstract construction of color to create striking modem compositions."
