6:00 pm Panoramic Gallery Reception for Deborah Bryan

Panoramic Gallery Reception for Deborah Bryan

People have noticed that when I walk, I often look down at the ground. This represents my fascination with discarded, unwanted, lost, misplaced, faded, trampled and frayed objects. This print series entitled Detritus, takes that philosophy to a logical conclusion, one in which objects that would normally be overlooked, or even thought of as debris, are portrayed as worthy of consideration.

Bryan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Art and Design at Tusculum College in Greenville, Tennessee. She regularly exhibits her work nationally and internationally and is featured in many permanent collections.  Bryan was featured in William King Museum’s From These Hills exhibition juried by Ray Kass in 2009.

This exhibition runs January 31st through February 26th

From These Hills

EXHIBITION CLOSES!!!

William King Museum celebrates the diversity of artistic talent in the Southern Appalachian Highlands. From These Hills is a biennial exhibition series begun just one year after the Arts Center opened in the spring of 1992. This biennial exhibition invites artists in all stages of their careers working in southwest Virginia, northeast Tennessee, western North Carolina and parts of Kentucky and West Virginia to submit their work for consideration. The exhibition always boasts a wide range of mediums and subjects, yet always forms a unified voice regarding the significance of living in this notable time and place.

10:00 am Opening Day for Panoramic Gallery: Aleta Cortes

Opening Day

Panoramic Gallery Artist Aleta Cortes, Pipestem, WV

“Reflecting” is a photographic series of manmade objects, primarily older model cars. The photographs were taken at car shows around southern Virginia and West Virginia. The photographs have not been manipulated; they are what is seen upon looking at the reflections from the polished surfaces of old cars. At times people walking past appear as rivers of color while patterns and objects distort from simple movement and splashes of light.

Cortes lives in southern West Virginia. Although her background is in painting, for the past thirteen years, she has worked solely with photography. Cortes received a BFA from Tyler School of Art, Philadelphia, PA, and has shown her work throughout the region.

This exhibition runs February 28th through April 1st.
