Charlotte artist Sharon Dowell will present a free gallery talk about her architectural paintings at 7pm
Dowell's talk will be at 7 p.m. in the Arts Council Galleries at 65 Union Street South, Concord. It is co-sponsored by the Arts Council Galleries and the Cabarrus Art Guild. Her work will be included in the Arts Council Galleries' exhibition, Structurally Sound: Foundations in Architecture, which will be on display January 20-March 26.
Dowell's colorful paintings look at architecture from a worm's eye view. She calls the paintings, many of which focus on detailed areas such as windows or fire escapes, "cityscapes" and says that she "strives to find beauty in often overlooked structures and spaces."
A BFA graduate of UNC Charlotte, Creative Loafing magazine named her "Best Local Artist" for 2008. Her work has been shown in numerous exhibitions in North Carolina, New York, California, South Carolina and Florida.
