Few people knew John Lennon as intimately as May Pang. Pang was Lennon’s lover during the infamous “Lost Weekend” which lasted 18 months during late 1973 through 1975. During this highly creative time for Lennon, Pang took candid photos of Lennon in a comfortable, relaxed environment.
The work of artist Scott E. Hill is at once old-fashioned and sophisticated. Drawing from memories of his childhood in Northwest Georgia, a place he went or a color he saw could be the catalyst that sets the process in motion. His paintings are reminiscent of a long-gone style found in the brooding landscapes of 16th Century Spanish artists and the shadowy, gilt-framed works of 19th Century Romanticism.Landscapes are a favorite subject for Hill, and the richness and texture of his work are the results of layering his paint and using an age-old technique called "glazing." Glazing involves brushing linseed oil, turpentine, or varnish over a layer of paint, which allows the colors underneath to bleed through and gives the work an aged appearance. Although he works primarily with oil, Hill also experiments with watercolors, coffee stains and oil pastels, and has an impressive body of graphite drawings as well. Regardless of medium, a limited palette and a skilled hand convey a certain mood...much the same as that sense of tranquility that follows a summer storm, as well as the quiet violence that precedes it.

About the exhibit:
There is a bit of the curious child still hiding in each of these artists. They examine the world and take bits of it apart to see how it works. These three artists seldom put the bits back together the way they found it.
Under Myles Bennett’s skillful hand the canvas is no longer just a resting place for applied paint. In his new body of work, his careful examination and deconstruction of the structure of this basic artist material turn the strings of the canvas into poems and songs.
Saul Gray-Hildenbrand specializes in renderings of mysterious figures, and he finds surprising uses for objects and remnants that had fallen into disuse. He approaches everything with a question and delights in offering you unique answers.
Miranda Herrick has made 365 small, colorful drawings (one made on each day of 2017.) Each individual drawing was created as a celebration and meditation for the day it was created and captures a little of her energy and effort from that day.
This exhibit is a conversation about the elements (material and ethereal) that compose our daily lives in this fast-paced modern world and the attempt to slow down the world with thoughtful and meticulous examination. Not one of these artists is afraid of a hard day’s work. Tedium as meditation and an intensity of repetition are large parts of this playful, experimental dialogue.
