Make way for your gaze to soar over open seas, mountain ranges, wetlands, and Tuscan landscapes. Migrating from one work to another, you will travel to a space and time that brush stroke and color capture best. Blatantly versatile, Paul Hastings’ paintings feature a kaleidoscope of surreal color, amplified perspective and subjects that very nearly whisper your name from a dream. Accentuated shadow and highlight beg a “touch” to see if the paintings are truly two dimensional. His work is a warm welcome mat into the local art community. Touch the warmth of Paul Hastings’ world with a Meet the Artist Reception on November 6th from 7-9pm. The show will continue at Green Rice Gallery from November 6 – 29th. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The Fifth Season New Works by Kate Vasseur October 2nd - November 1st Opening Reception Friday, October 2nd from 7 - 9pm Opening Friday, October 2nd with a Meet the Artist Reception from 7-9pm, Green Rice Gallery welcomes Artist Kate Vasseur’s new show entitled “The Fifth Season”. Kate’s work has been described as "modern landscapes that draw emotion from places we all seem to have been before, equal parts fantasy and nostalgia. " Kate states, "Every space has an aesthetic energy. I find a purpose in creating andreconstructing works that further convey this energy. I often find the media with which I am working dictates the final outcome of a piece. When working with wood panels the grain of the wood helps determine the landscape. Otherwise overlooked pieces can be reborn as a piece of jewelry or sculpture. Watercolors flow onto the paper and morph into faces. My media does not limit my creations. My canvas is as vital as the brush strokes I paint on it. "Other works that accompany my collections are related works made from objects that would otherwise have been lost in our modern day. My quest for the unique, functional, and purely aesthetic compliments to life are my inspiration. " Kate’s quest for the unique, functional and purely aesthetic serves as her artistic inspiration. “The Fifth Season” will run from October 2nd through November 1st. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Textures of Nature New Paintings by Susan Nuttall September 4th - 27th Opening Reception Friday, September 4th from 7 - 9pm As an artist, Susan Nuttall is continually excited by the properties of color, light and shadow as they reflect the image and her own sense of time, place and inner harmony. Using thumbnail sketches, she lays out an idea with a very rough notion of the compositional elements. Once satisfied that she has an idea worth pursuing, Susan begins her work.
A Brighter Day New Mosaics by Teresa Hollmeyer August 7th - 30th Opening Reception Friday, August 7th from 7 - 9pm As a child growing up on a farm, Teresa Hollmeyer spent more time outdoors than she did indoors, “I remember collecting rocks, sticks, rusted pieces of old machinery, and before I even knew what mosaics were, I was creating collages from these found objects.” Through the years, Teresa tried many different forms of artistic expression, but always returned back to mosaics, “I love the colors, texture and shapes that this medium allows”. Teresa is a self-taught mosaicist. Even after thirteen years of creating all types of mosaics, she learns something new with each finished piece. Her love for the outdoors is represented in her work and she finds new inspiration around every corner of life.
Through the Looking Glass A Collaborative Show July 3rd - August 2nd Opening Reception Friday, July 3rd from 7 - 9pm We all know what Alice saw when she went through the looking glass, now it is our Green Rice Artist’s turn to show the public what wondrous things they might see in theirs! Opening Friday, July 3rd, Green Rice will host a new show entitled Through the Looking Glass. As Lewis Carroll stated, “The world is a looking-glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. Frown at it, and it will in turn look sourly upon you; laugh at it and with it, and it is a jolly kind companion”. The show will run from July 3rd to August 2nd and will feature over 10 artists with broadly varying styles of work. From oils to acrylics, from woodwork and mixed media sculpture, be prepared to expect the unexpected! Participating artists include Laura Arecco, Randy L. Dean, Patrick Harris, Matt Hooker, Paul Hastings, Carla Garrison, Holt McLean, Kate Vasseur, KC Collins, Jay Thompson, Dwight Hartsell, J. Aaron Alderman, Jason Basden & Wendy Arundel. "If it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic." -Tweedledee . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Cast, Forged & Fabricated: The Queen City Metalsmiths June 5th - 28th Opening Reception Friday, June 5th from 7 - 9pm From the Bronze Age through the Iron Age to the present, metalwork has flourished in art, industry and trade. By the 1700's the village blacksmith ensured the economic survival of early America, making implements and equipment used in farming, business and even in the common household. After industrialization, when ironwork could be provided by factories, blacksmiths reinvented themselves, putting their age-old hand forging talents to more creative endeavors. The studio craft movement began in the middle of the past century, allowing the floodgates of creativity to be thrown wide open and unbridled abandon to flow freely. Standing on the shoulders of the metal giants who have preceded them, we welcome J. Aaron Alderman, Steven Sinnett, Theron Ross, Marilyn Overton and Mindy Jacobs as they celebrate their ageless legacy of metalsmithing. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "PERSISTENT NIGHTMARES" New Abstract Drawings by Artist Andrea Worley May 1st - 22nd Opening Reception Friday, May 1st from 7 - 9pm Worley’s new abstract drawings give spontaneous and energetic form to the frightening nightmares she has experienced—and recorded in detail—over more than 30 years. With their underlying physical, psychological, and sexual tensions, these stark black and white abstractions conjure up the raw and ragged edge between something recognizable and that profound abyss within us all. Each drawing is accompanied by a dated section from the nightmare that gave rise to it. Worley, a native of Chattanooga, received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Tennessee and her Master of Fine Arts from East Tennessee State University. Her studio is near Earl, North Carolina. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "POSTGIG" A Compilation of Music Posters April 17th - 27th Opening Reception Friday, April 17th from 7 - 9pm Postgig is a compilation of music posters and highlights the role of art and design in the music scene. The show features works and original concert posters by Modern Dog, Aesthetic Apparatus, Hammerpress, Patent Pending, The Small Stakes and many more. It is curated by Clifford Stoltze, founder of Stoltze Design i Boston, MA, and compliments the recent launch of his book 1000 Music Graphics. The show was a huge success in Boston and is making a stop here in Charlotte as it travels to different cities drawing a diverse audience. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "AN UNCLEAR SKY" New Works by Kendra Baird March 6th - March 29th Artists Reception Friday, February 6th from 7 - 9pm Baird’s work over the past few years has evolved from quirky little creatures in nature into a deeper subject beyond the object we see on the surface. The nature of how uncertain our futures are, and how at any given time - no matter how aware we are of our life, the world around us and ourselves - we can never see the entire picture. She displays this in her work through using a frame of texture and color that crops the scene. We can only imagine what is hidden by this frame, and we step forward knowing what we can and hoping for what we cannot know. There will always be those things that make our view unclear, but the portions that we can see give us comfort and help us rest in peace when moving forward. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "MATT HOOKER: ART OF FOREIGN LANDS" Also featuring works by KC Collins February 6th - March 1st Artists Reception Friday, February 6th from 7 - 9pm Matt Hooker is a native Bostonian currently living in Charlotte, NC. During his senior year in high school, the first oil painting he had ever created was shown in a Boston College senior art show. Over ten years later, the self-taught artist started selling paintings primarily through the internet and is living a long time dream; an existence supported by and for artwork. Since October 2006, Matt's work has appeared in various Boston and Charlotte-area publications, studios, galleries, businesses and marketplaces. Also featured will be the works of, new to Green Rice, KC Collins. KC's oil paintings pull from the extremes; bold and soft, saturated and muted colors. The images fade among positive and negative spaces. It is between these two extremes that she finds that special place where the abstract and the real meet. By simplifying selected details in a face, a landscape, or an object, KC reaches the true essence of the image. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

PEEPHOLES, FACES & WINGS The Art of Bill Nelson January 5th - 28th Artists Reception Friday, January 5th from 7-9pm Nelson’s illustrations have graced the covers and interiors of The New Yorker, The New York Times Book Review, Newsweek, Time, TV Guide and The Atlantic Monthly to name a few.

Also featured, a small works exhibit by an array of Green Rice artists, reasonably gift priced and just in time for Christmas! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . NATURAL SURROUNDINGS McLean, a North Carolina native, pulls people into her artwork by creating familiarity for the viewer. She incorporates palette knife techniques to add texture and boldness. Her style is influenced by the European Masters, which she studied while taking classes at the International School of Painting, Drawing and Sculpture in Umbria, Italy. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
NOSTALGIA Featuring New Works by Artist Kate Vasseur Also Introducing New Artist Matt Hooker October 3rd - November 2nd According to Vasseur, her paintings are a blend of fantasy with an element of nostalgia. Images of a bygone era color her canvas as much as her brush strokes do. Her acrylic . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . STORY Basden's work attempts to capture the essence of storytelling through the narrative quality of his subjects. Since childhood, Basden has enjoyed the process of fabrication and manipulation of various materials to explore their potential and create something new. Constructed of carved and modeled armatures, Basden's art also incorporates texture, color and richness in each of his forms.
