SHARON
LACEY
Through May 28, 2010
Main Gallery
Charleston, SC artist Sharon Lacey, a nationally recognized oil painter, is
known for her particular emphasis on the human figure. She typically begins with
no preconceived idea or preliminary sketch, preferring to develop imagery
through the process of painting. One layer of paint informs the next until an
image emerges that she recognizes, develops, and seeks to resolve.
CHAD COLE:
DEEPER SOUTH: HIDDEN SYMBOLISM IN THE SOUTHERN LANDSCAPE
Through May 28, 2010
Creel-Harison Community Art Gallery
Augustan Chad Cole’s work is influenced by the literature, mythologies and
psychological underpinnings of the Southern Gothic. It is a response to subjects
including the works of Flannery O’Connor and William Faulkner, the landscape and
architecture of the Old South and the observable decay of Southern agrarian life
in the modern era.
RAOUL
PACHECO
June 10 – July 30, 2010

Augusta State University adjunct instructor Raoul Pacheco presents new work in
mixed media ceramics. Known for his highly original style, much of Pacheco’s
art attempts to build a bridge between art and life, giving the viewer just
enough to start them on a journey.

ETHAN
BROCK
June 10 – July 30, 2010
Creel-Harison Community Art Gallery
With this exhibition Augusta resident Ethan Brock seeks to present a progressive
interactive environment—changing and adapting over its life, evolving to show
the working method and materials used to create the art. The project is in part
an examination of the dichotomy of how art is viewed and an unveiling of how it
is produced.
Reception on June 10, 6–8 p.m., in conjunction with the Raoul Pacheco opening.
