Evolution of lifestyles, changing marshes, thriving habitats, sunset ocean views, cycles of loggerhead turtles, quaint beach houses all reflect the pulse of a verdant life close to the ocean. Our lifestyle in Charleston, close to the beaches, revolves according to the elements. Much like the shore creatures that embellish our life with riches, we, too, have a rhythm that moves with the winds, tides, sun, and moon. Sometimes the human cycle is influenced by the winds of the hurricane, sometimes the winds of change. Styles employed in the paintings featured in this exhibit vary from an abstract piece finding its way, to impressions, to realistic studies.

ROBERT EPPS INVITATIONAL EXHIBITION: CHARLESTON WIDE
May 22 to June 13; Open Mon.-Fri. from 8:30am-8pm; Sat.-Sun. from 10am-8pmRobert Epps
Despite extensive and apparently endless renovations, this City of Charleston is best characterized as a "ruin graced with an immaculate charm." True, some new is built, but more often patches go over patches in a complex process of wrecking and resurgence, a process which Charleston architect, Robert Epps has been involved in for over 30 years. And now, utilizing a traditional view camera with wide angle lens he offers in this exhibit a summing up, of sorts. Charleston Wide features 12 large scale images bounded by a common vision of loss, of extended spaces, eroded surfaces and curious colors. The Aiken Rhett House, Drayton Hall, Read Brothers Fabric Shop, Big John's Tavern, and long abandoned Kerrison Department Store are the sites of these interiors.

SANDY LOGAN INVITATIONAL EXHIBITION: DECOMPOSITION
FunSaver Logo
May 22 to June 13; Open Daily from 10am-5pm;
Opening Reception: May 22 from 6-8pm
Up in the northern boundaries of the city, the sketchier neighborhoods, the burned-out apparatuses of former industry - these are the places he goes. They are in No-Man's-Land, replete with poisoned soil, mute factories, empty storage facilities and the detritus of an era that had a profound disregard for the local environment. Here, in these more remote areas, the subjects hide, and defy the camera to show inherent beauty, apparent only by much closer inspection. These unaltered images, are, for the most part, so isolated by the camera, that they can morph into abstraction, and, as such, become almost painterly in their color and composition. Some are quite bright with color, some are dark and brooding; their common thread the culture of disposability and of neglect - use it until it breaks, then toss it away and buy another one.

Opening Reception: May 22 from 6-8pm
While recognized primarily for his festive abstractions of streetscapes and the Lowcountry's coastal environment, and for his vibrant, stylized depictions of Caribbean tropical and aquatic scenes, artist Tate Nation has also, for more than three decades, passionately painted abstract interpretations of the places, objects and experiences that nurture his creative spirit. Although he sometimes includes a sampling of abstract paintings in his exhibits of semi to representational works, this exhibit marks his first all-abstract exhibition.

MCLEAN SHEPERD INVITATIONAL EXHIBITION: PETAL TO THE METAL
McLean Sheperd
May 22 to June 13; Open Mon.-Fri., 8:30am-8pm; Sat.-Sun., 10am-8pm
A bloom has been likened to an enlightened plant: the highest form, or awakened form of the plant kingdom. In the contemplation of a blossom, or the painting depicting the blossom, we honor the plant and thus begin the awakening process in ourselves. These paintings are infused with the artist's intention to see deeply into the essence of the flower and to capture the energy of the blossom; to paint not just the sunflower's color and shape, but the very warmth of the petals and their delight in being alive. Dr. Sheperd's use of metallic leaf, glitter and other shiny surfaces emerged out of meditations and dreams about flowers which revealed that these blossoms permeate the air with delicious, etheric, sparkling essences.
