Hillsborough Gallery presents "3', An Exhibit in Three Media by Three Artists opening July 22.

HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. - July 21, 2013 - PRLog -- The Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is a cooperative gallery run by its members. The exhibit '3' features Three of the voices from this community of artists.

Garry Childs is presenting wheel-thrown red earthenware vessels. The textured surface of the pots in the exhibit derives from the coarse local clay he digs near his studio. "These clays are pretty much straight out of the ground with the natural organic matter still present. Small amounts of glaze are used to enhance the surface variations.  My pots are mostly about the shapes. The irregular textured surfaces emphasize the organic nature of the forms."

Linda Carmel's work is about community and the roles that women and men play.  Her most recent work explores changes that are taking place in society as men and women move toward less traditional role assignments. Carmel manipulates her painted surfaces, sometimes using modeling paste to create a three-dimensional surface. She used this technique for conceptual emphasis rather than as an aesthetic choice.

Marcy Lansman's recent paintings evidence her move toward more abstract work. "My painting style has been realistic, whether working in watercolors or acrylics. I've appreciated other artists' more abstract styles. This past year I have been working toward a looser, more impressionistic expression. My paintings in this exhibit will illustrate this new direction in my style."

An opening reception for '3' will be held on Friday June 28th, from 6-9 pm. The show runs through August 25th. The Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is located in the Mercantile Building at 121 North Churton Street, in historic downtown Hillsborough, N.C.  For more information visit the Gallery website, http://www.HillsboroughGallery.com
