Grace Li Wang Art Gallery in Raleigh, NC,
Presents Group Exhibit for Summer
The Grace Li Wang Art Gallery in Raleigh, NC, presents the summer
exhibition, Quintessence, on view July 1 through Sept.
30, 2003. The exhibition is about the ethereal and spiritual dimensions
of the human quality. The exhibit is the unique arrangement of
contemporary art that extends into two gallery units.
Gallery I, features the art of Wayne Epperly, Grace Li Wang, Wendy Painter and Mark Gordon. Gallery II, displays the works of John Faulkner, Meredith Steele, Marty Matthews, Angela Smith, Jason Craighead, Gary Palmer, Mike Everson, and Andrei Acris.
Grace Li Wang's contemporary paintings are known for their dramatic colors and stylized forms in both representational and abstract presentations. Wang's media is two-dimensional work executed in oil, acrylic, pastels and mixed media. Gallery I features new works from Wang's, Fields collection and also exhibits Wang's Nude Studies as a tribute to the innate nature of the human figures. Wang transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary through her multihued art. Gallery II takes a refreshing journey into Wang's vivid works from her Nature Collection, which includes art from the Fields, Landscapes, and Flower series. Wang's special edition, signature series of art notecards box sets from the Nature Collection have just been released and can be purchased at the Gallery or via the Gallery website.
Wayne Epperly studied painting at the Gloucester Academy of Fine Arts in Massachusetts and has created works that connect human primordial origins with nature. The celebration of life is the foundation of Epperly's work and his artistic style transcends strength and softness through the elaborate use of subtle earth tones, combined with pulsating colors. A divine aura permeates through the whimsical images and soft finishes of his art aiding his hope for the viewer to become attached to his art in a spiritual way. Epperly has held numerous exhibitions in the US, and his art has been featured in several corporate collections.
John Faulkner categorizes his art as neo-impressionism and creates visual images using contrasting bold colors and striking details which provide the viewer with multiple color, light, and structural elements. When viewed from a distance, Faulkner's works become almost three-dimensional images of light and dark. His extensive international travels have provided varied and exotic subject matters for his paintings. Faulkner lives and paints in Cary, NC.
