Gallery C in Raleigh,
NC, Features Works by Carl Krabill and Dennis Revitzky
Gallery C in
Raleigh, NC, is presenting the exhibition, COLOR versus TEXTURE,
featuring landscapes by Carl Krabill and Dennis Revitzky, on view
through Sept. 5, 2006.
COLOR versus TEXTURE squares off two
veteran landscape painters: Carl Krabill and Dennis Revitzky.
Krabill and Revitzky have both had long careers as painters
and as art instructors. Both have found their inspiration
in nature and chosen the landscape as their subject but, that
is where the similarities end.
Krabill, who lives half the year in his native Ohio and half the
year in Raleigh, paints with a wide palette of intense color.
His training as an abstract expressionist is very apparent in his
bold, painterly use of the medium. Color is the overriding
factor throughout whether he is painting a stand of trees
or a quite creek bed. Krabill builds each large scale work in
a series of layers beginning with pure color and light and ending
with the details that elegantly suggest a landscape we know. He
has received the American Council of Learned Societies' grant
and was awarded a Juror's Mention for a painting in the Cleveland
Museum of Art Show.
New York resident Dennis Revitzky is a painter and printmaker
fascinated with texture and he has been mixing media for years
to heighten the effects of his dramatic compositions. Each oil
and mixed-media painting begins as a collage of modeling paste
and various other materials on stretched canvas. Cloth, burlap,
sand and occasionally rope may also be found imbedded in the paste.
Mixtures of dark oil paint are brushed into this sealed, textured
collage and then wiped with rags in a similar manner to the inking
and wiping of a collagraph printing plate. Revitzky has shown
his work extensively and has pieces in the collections of the
Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO, the Memorial
Art Gallery, Rochester, NY, and the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington,
DC, to name a few.
This will be the first exhibition in Raleigh for both painters
so do not miss out on this exciting show!
