Silver Fox Gallery in Hendersonville, NC, Features Works by Carol Beth Icard
Silver
Fox Gallery in Hendersonville, NC, will present the exhibit, Personal
Icons, featuring a group of paintings by Carol Beth Icard,
on view from Aug. 3 - 31, 2007.
Icard's new paintings continue to reveal her emotional responses and introspective observations of Italy and its culture. "Italy evokes in me an appreciation for what life's simple pleasures," Icard said. "I appreciate the food, the colors and the music, and the beautiful landscape, but also the gratitude and generosity of spirit I've seen embodied in the people I meet there."
In the foreground or more subtly in the background of her paintings, Icard repeats half a dozen images that reflect her appreciation for ageless beauty: Worn walls and arched doorways, roads, clouds and cypress trees and the moon. Through the use of common container-like forms such as houses, books and bowls, the artist offers double meanings and explores meditative answers.
Icard resides in Landrum, SC, and has won numerous awards in regional juried art competitions. Primarily an oil painter, she has also produced mixed media works incorporating Venetian plaster, transfers of her photographs, and other alternative materials and supports. Her work has been represented by Silver Fox Gallery for five years.
