43rd Spring Group Exhibition​​​

Carlton Gallery 43rd Spring Group Exhibition – Sculpting Silence/Exploring Abstract Realms continues through July 15.

​

The abstract paintings of Andrew Braitman give a clarity of color, as well as viscosity and implementation of surface details and textural effects.

They create an illusion, a thing or place where the image is unreal but believable. His abstract landscapes are rendered to highlight his brilliant use of color and, light, transition of prismatic colors with suggestions of forms when it fits the composition, details when needed, and “little shots of color” to catch one’s eye”.

​

Tonya Bottomley’s abstracts painted in her colorful and dramatic palette display her comprehension of geometrics.  Her paintings convey line, shape and color, along with her enthusiasm and essence of rendering paintings that reflect her imagination and artistic vision.

​

Debbie Arnold exhibits acrylic abstracts in her distinctive and unique style rendered in an intuitive manner. She is highly motivated by shapes, textures, and colors rather than defined subject matter.

​

The Sculpting Silence/Exploring Abstract Realms Exhibition also highlights the calligraphy, acrylic and ink, along with oil and cold wax artwork by Toni Carlton; the abstracted horses of Laura Hughes; and the emblematic figurative by Lori Hill; watercolor and mixed media abstracts by Eddie Kent Tallent, along with hand-built figurative clay sculptures by Mary-Ann Prack.

​

The new artwork for the 43rd Spring Group Exhibition is by Sharon Rusch Shaver, Trena McNabb, Egidio Antonaccio, Jean Rupprecht,

Holly Glasscock, Kim Abernethy, Karin Neuvirth, Sharon Lampke, Cindy Shaw, Linda Apriletti, Marion Cloaninger, and Amos Westmoreland. Their paintings in traditional and contemporary Landscapes; Flora and Fauna; Wildlife; Horses; and Figurative are rendered in each artist’s individualistic style

and color palette and fill the gallery with exquisite and soul touching artwork.

​
