Pickens County Museum of Art in Pickens, SC, Offers New Exhibits led me to a more painterly place where I can openly acknowledge my debt to Abstract Expressionism. Well-schooled in “form follows function” and The Nature of Materials, this seems to be an appropriate place to be.” The invitational exhibition, Crossing the Line: Thirty-One Drawings by Thirty-One Artists, curated by museum director Allen Coleman, will survey an eclectic grouping of South Carolina Upcountry artists pursuing traditional drawing media in both a traditional manner as well as exploratory approaches to new application. Referring to this group of work, Coleman stated, “The Oxford Dictionary defines drawing as, ‘the formation of a line by drawing some tracing instrument from point to point of a surface; representation by lines; delineation as distinguished from painting...the arrangement of lines which determine form.’ However, in spite of this definition, the formation of line and the use of color are adaptable and can be achieved in a variety of manners The drawings in this exhibition, made in different ways, have been selected to help define and also to stretch the boundaries of what a drawing is. They vary in the medium used, which includes metal-point, graphite, charcoal, ink, and chalk. Some fulfill the strict dictionary definition of drawing, others do not.” Work by Philip Gott Having grown up in the swamps of South Florida, Philip Gott showed great promise early, garnering attention from stunned relatives and child psychologists alike for refusing to color within the lines. Soon, though, Gott became more concerned with bikinis and water skis and really had very little exposure to fine art until he began his architectural studies in Paris. It was in the City of Light where he was seduced by the magic of the creative impulse and decided to dedicate his life to the suffering requisite to the life of an artist. From watching his uncle Max working feverishly in his atelier in Paris whenever he could steal the time, Gott tasted the all consuming passion and realized he had to find that passion of his own. By painting alongside artist Glenna Finch, meeting her friends Syd Solomon and Conrad Marca-Relli and learning some of their techniques, Gott first grasped the commitment and dedication to the process of expression that consumed the professional artist. Although his professional career as an architect provided most of his creative expression, Gott painted whenever he could Work by Ashley Holt and took advantage of his romantic liaisons The diverse lineup of upcountry artists and friendships with other artists to broaden included in this exhibition are: Matthew his vocabulary of painterly expression. A weekend workshop with Richard Anuskiewicz clarified an understanding of color theory while a class on sculpting in clay with Eddie Economo prodded a foray into three-dimensional abstract figural work. Besides hands-on studies, Gott’s knowledge base has been frequently enhanced with far-flung travels and intense museum experiences, continuing his studies today in the Museum School of the Greenville Art Museum under the tutelage of Carrie Burns Brown. When asked about his work, Gott wrote simply, “Res ipsa loquitur (it speaks for itself).” He then continued, saying, “Although experimental by nature, my two dimensional art work has been almost exclusively non-representational and heavily involved in color as the primary mode of expression. Influenced by Pop Art and the lithographs of Bernard Cathelin, my early work tended to flat planes of graphic color but soon, under the influence of Pollock and Tobey, it became more calligraphic and ges- Baumgardner, Victoria Blaker, Michael Brodeur, Bruce Bunch, Steven A.

Spartanburg Art Museum Offers Works by Tarleton Blackwell The Spartanburg Art Museum (SAM), located in the Chapman Cultural Center in Spartanburg, SC, is hosting the exhibit The Hog Series, featuring paintings by the popular South Carolina artist Tarleton Blackwell, on view through Feb. 16, 2013. The exhibition features 20 paintings of hogs in unique settings. The Hog Series began more than 28 years ago, while Blackwell was a graduate student at the University of South Carolina. It has evolved into an ongoing suite of approximately 290 works on paper and canvas. This series explores the rich iconography of the rural southeastern United States, incorporating elements of art history, children’s tales, persistent stereotypes, and even commercial imagery. As a native of Manning, SC, Blackwell’s visual world is populated with hog farms, opossums, foxes, roosters, wolves, pit bulls, and cats but also with images inspired by his experiences as an art educator, embalmer/funeral director, and as a devoted fan of the 17th Century Spanish School of painting. The essence of The Hog Series is related to the series of worked crate by Diego Velasquez (1599-1660), depicting the court jesters and dwarves of King Philip IV. The Work by Tarleton Blackwell court painter portrayed the subjects as equal to their master. Blackwell has focused on portraying hogs with the underlying theme of dignity and respect, while at the same time revealing and sharing some of his past personal experiences.
