Shades of Gray: Four Artists of the Southeast

Frist Center for the Visual Arts

June 20-September 21, 2008

Add Review/Comment

This exhibition features drawings by four members of the Southeastern College Art Conference, an organization of art faculty that promotes the importance of art in higher education and in the broader community. Conceived as a counterpoint to the exhibition Color As Field: American Painting 1950–1975, in which form and content are unified through the broad application of brightly colored areas of paint, Shades of Gray includes works in gray, white, and black in which the picture plane suggests spatial ambiguity, mystery, and personal and social narratives. The two exhibitions are connected by their emphasis on process, discovery, and the willingness to allow the beauty and expressive power of the artist’s raw material to speak for itself. 

The artists in Shades of Gray include Kell Black (Austin Peay State University, Clarksville, Tennessee), Sue Mulcahy (Volunteer State Community College, Gallatin, Tennessee), Jane Allen Nodine (University of South Carolina Upstate, Spartanburg, South Carolina), and Carol Prusa (Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, Florida). Organized by the Frist Center for the Visual Arts.

Location: Gordon Contemporary Artists Project Gallery and Education Gallery

    I knew The Dirt Drifters were great amped up--I learned they sound as good or better when they go acoustic! The Frist is just wonderful!

    Enjoyed the show and the gallery was busy Friday afternoon. Get an audio cassette for $5 and go before the rush at the end of May.
