Tryon Fine Arts Center in Tryon, NC, Features Works by Jane Todd Butcher
The Tryon Fine Arts Center in Tryon, NC, will
present an exhibition of works by Jane Todd Butcher entitled,
Landscape Variations, on view from June 2 - 25, 2002. The
exhibition, sponsored by the Tryon Painters & Sculptors, will
include images from the mountains to the coast, in a style that
is sometimes described as "contemporary impressionism."
Butcher, who lives in the Greenville, SC, area, has become recognized
in the Southeast for her fresh approach to landscape and nature
themes in collage and water media. While her colorful paintings
are usually representational, they are a departure from the traditional
landscape renderings typically seen in the region.
Butcher presents an unusual look at the world through her unique
use of water based media. She often begins by staining Japanese
rice papers with inks, and allowing the composition to emerge
from the colors. Torn pieces of many papers may be used to compile
an image, and acrylics and pastels may be used to enhance the
work.
