Artists Guild Gallery of Greenville Small Works Juried Exhibition

Today I have some quite exciting news to share: both entries I submitted for the Artists Guild Gallery of Greenville (AGGG) 6th Annual Small Works Juried Exhibition have been accepted for the show!

AGGG's gallery is located in the heart of Greenville, South Carolina. It represents more than 20 juried local artists, offering work in a variety of media. The interested visitor and buyer will find works in acrylic, graphite, mixed media, oil, pastel, glass, woodwork, pottery, sculpture, and of course photography.

Both entries are  printed in a 7x7 square format with pigment-based ink on Ilford Galerie paper.

The first image is a black and white picture of the entrance stairwell of the Pasadena Museum of California Art. It has a very clear, almost abstract design with curves and nooks creating great shadows. The image was taken with a Fujifilm GS645S medium format camera on Portra 400 film, converted to black and white in Lightroom 4.

The second image is a black and white picture of a bath's faucet. I especially like how the highlights and shadows interact with each other. The picture was taken with a Canonet QL17 on 35mm film.

This year's show opening and artists reception will be 5 August from 6pm to 8pm at AGGG's gallery on 200 N Main Street - Suite 104 Ivey Square, Greenville, South Carolina 29601.

I entered AGGG's Annual Small Works Juried Exhibition for the first time last year with the image below, also taken with the Canonet QL17 on black and white 35mm film. You can imagine that I was very happily surprised it won a Honorable Mention?!

If you are in Greenville on or after 5 August, please take a moment and visit the gallery. Not only to see the entries of the artists who's work will be on display in the Small Works show, but also to appreciate the work of the talented resident artists of the Artists Guild Gallery of Greenville.
