| LINDA MCCALL + JOHN HATHORN + NORMAN KARY January 7 – February 11 |
| John Hathorn, The Cardinalis Sketches, oil & charcoal on canvas, 60"x72", detail |
| Linda McCall is presenting a new body of her figurative paintings. She continues to develop her signature style of loose figurative compositions using heavy and wide brush strokes of color. Her study of light and its effect is a very important element in her work. The actual imagery is what McCall refers to as "moments" that she has observed often from her summer travels abroad. These moments of life, frozen in time are presented as loose, abstracted figures. She comments that," the antonymous, often faceless, figures in the places suggest a story and the memory of a time and place. They linger in shadow others are caught in quiet contemplation." McCall lives in the Dallas area and taught at Ursuline Academy. McCall recently retired to focus on her art and travel. She received her MFA from the University of North Texas, Denton in 1998. McCall has been very active and has contributed a great deal of her time and talent to the local Arts. John Hathorn is presenting The" Cardinalis Sketches" (derived from the word cardinal) is a new body of work in which the color red formally and conceptually serves as a point of departure. Hathorn explores references to diverse subjects as linguistics, botany and ornithology in this series. This series is composed of large canvases that Hawthorn carefully scribes words and phrases, uses thick and luscious oil paints, all the time being very controlled and intentional. While most of the canvas is left untouched, the marks and strokes are bold and abstract. These strokes and marks become the focus of each work and are cause for the viewer to stop and ponder. Hawthorn is from Mississippi, and currently lives in Louisiana where he is Professor of Painting and directs the BFA Thesis Program in the Visual Arts department at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette where he has taught since 1982. He received his MFA from Florida State University, Tallahassee, 1982. "The Cardinalis Sketches" will be Hawthorn's fifth exhibition at Craighead Green. Norman Kary’s new body of work is a continuation of his creation of fascinating constructions composed of found objects. This show is titled “Predicting the Future”, which is indicative of the interest he has in the Unknown. As stated by Kary, “I have built Time machines to cope with this latest obsession as well as ancient maps and compasses to help find my way. I have read about ancient astronauts and they have assisted where directional signs are missing much like Virgil helped guide Dante. Investigating the ability to predict the future has been unpredictable and surprising. It continues to challenge and intrigue me.” Kary’s education began at Mountain View College and he also studied at the University of Texas at Dallas. |
