Art in Odd Place, the 4th biannual show of the HL Roaming Gallery, is drawing to a close. Artwork by the artists below has been on display at 20 E. Hargett Street, Downtown Raleigh, in the Goodman Building (at the corner of Hargett and Wilmington Streets). The closing reception is Friday night from 6pm to 11pm. Those of you who can’t make it will get one last opportunity to view the works on Saturday from noon to 8pm.
Here is a list of the artists whose works are on display:
Tracy Spencer: New works focus on the restoration of balance and the use of narrative in abstract painting. Tracy is the founding manager of Bonded Llama Artist Studios and coordinator of Morning Times Gallery.
Andy Heymann: 5’11, 145ish, dark brown hair, stunning green eyes, scruffy face, skinny legs, paints girls, does not shade, loves colors more than brand new socks (but its a close battle), prefers salt over sugar, and dreams of the perfect conversion van with white leather studded seats and a bull horn. He is single and all of his art is for sale.
Jeremy Hauch: born and raised in Atlanta, received a bachelors degree in studio arts from Berry College in 1996. Lived and worked in Korea for a while. Moved to Boston, lived there for five years. 2005 received a masters of Architecture from NCSU. Currently work as an architect for Vernacular Studios in Raleigh.
Sean Vance: Visiting Assistant Professor of Architecture at NC State. Bachelor of Architecture from Tuskegee University and a Master of Architecture from NC State.
Dimitri Gudgenov: Dimitri is a graduate of NCSU’s Architectural program. His sculptural work explores delicate, intricate, surreal forms. The pieces are abstract and conceptual in origin, modeled with 3D software. The sculptures express the physicality of real world materials and processes in contrast to their origins as abstract computer sketches. When crafted they develop a variety of discrete properties inherent in this translation process.
Mollie Earls: a graduate of the College of Design, Mollie paints, draws, and creates jewelry. Her most recent series of paintings explore the subject of zeppelins.
Katie Covington: Like archeological findings the objects we leave behind reveal information about people and the place they inhabit. Katie’s intention is to construct a new environment for the vintage and antique pieces she finds, and thus a new narrative, changing one’s perception of the objects by changing their presentation. Pieces from her collection of forgotten keys, glass buttons, shoe buckles and enamel flowers come to life when paired with her delicate metal work. With an environmental awareness and an appreciation for the past she aims to make jewelry that will be worn for years. Katie founded k. talis jewelry shortly after graduating from the College of Design at NCSU.
So get on out there and support some really awesome local art and even more awesome local artists! Our local artist community is one of the coolest, strongest, and most surprising facets of our city. I’m consistently amazed at the number of what I consider to be incredible creators and innovative galleries/venues we have. They deserve our attention and our money!
Enjoy!
