Follow on Google News | Hillsborough Gallery of Arts’ exhibit "Capturing Light" opens September 23CAPTURING LIGHT, at the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts, features paintings by both Lolette Guthrie and Eduardo Lapetina, and blown glasswork by Pringle Teetor. Three artists explore the ephemeral magic of light in transforming their creative work.
Lolette Guthrie resonates to the words of photographer Walker Evans,"...the truly hard part is capturing the light in the air." Guthrie says, "this is exactly what I am continually trying to achieve when I paint. I am primarily a landscape painter and I mostly paint from memory. Sometimes my work is pared down representation; Eduardo Lapetina's abstract paintings, are based on the inner light of human emotion. "My abstract paintings are soul-scapes that are the product of working in complete solitude. They represent the discovery of mysteries of the subconscious mind, and they are part of my personal legend. It is a collaboration of mind and spirit. These abstractions hold the promise of dreams, visions, fears, intangibles, and will. It is the magic of a private, secret, and confidential language." Pringle Teeter marries art and science in creating her lyrical blown glassworks. "I find myself constantly amazed with how chemistry works in glass. Gold chloride, manganese, cobalt, copper and iron oxides are all used to create specific colors in glass. Unfortunately most of my favorite colors are high in silver and gold compounds, which have become more and more expensive. Silver blue or a gold ruby color is just so beautiful! Most of the pieces I make are made a bit ‘backwards’ An opening reception for CAPTURING LIGHT will be held on Friday, September 27th from 6-9 pm. The exhibition runs through October 20.
