Charlotte, North Carolina - RedSky Gallery will be celebrating the opening of a new exhibition of
mixed
media works by Chico Harkrader and ceramic sculptures by Pat Scull on November 11th at our
1523
Elizabeth Avenue, Ste 120 location. Join us for a reception from 6:00 - 8:30 pm. The show runs through
December 6th.
A canvas, sculpture, or the time line
of new media presents a stage for Chico Harkrader to examine the
visually driven attributes of light, perspective, color, form, and movement. Past experiences, present
environment, imagination, and experimentation with mixed media allow him to echo his passions, peace,
or pleasure. Creations from impressions encountered in urban, rural, or figurative life evolve abstractly.
Innovative form and color are fashioned from the physical, mental, or spiritual. Harkrader's
latest works
may shadow his previous series and motifs, as he strives for that elusive originality. His exploratory
nature
for diversity keeps him moving in and out of his compound-ongoing series (Action / Onyx / Lyric / Urban
/
Corolla).
Pat Scull has been a working artist in the Raleigh, NC area since 1990. She graduated from
Carnegie
Mellon University in Pittsburgh with a BFA in painting and explored many artistic processes until finally
centering her work around sculpture and ceramics. Her work combines stoneware with found, recycled
objects. Most of her inspiration comes from one or two of these recycled objects which are then
integrated
within a ceramic form. Using wheel thrown and hand building skills, she glazes and fires the ceramic
body
and then attaches the object to complete the work. She is also interested in texture and color
and has
spent much time developing her own glazes. In order to create a more dynamic palette, she uses
a
computer software program to work with glazes on an oxide level. Pat has shown her work extensively
throughout the US with her most recent shows at the Smithsonian Craft Show in Washington D.C., and
Crafts New York in New York City.
