SUMMARY:Sacred Science: The Works of Boots Quimby and Andrew Wilson
DESCRIPTION:The Pittsboro Gallery of Arts is pleased to present the works of Painter\, Boots Quimby\, and Mixed Media Artist\, Andrew Wilson\, in a Featured Artist Show that will be on display from Tuesday\, August 4th until Sunday\, September 6th. There will be a reception on Friday\, August 21st from 5:00-8:00 pm. \nBoots Quimby’s acrylic paintings have been evolving. Much as she has moved from a career in molecular genetics to the life of an artist\, her work has moved from representational pieces to more intuitive\, spiritual works. Quimby writes\, “Each painting begins with an abstract geometric foundation inspired by patterns\, symmetry\, and the order found in nature. From there\, the image gradually reveals itself.” \nThese vividly colorful paintings combine images that are sometimes surprising\, but Quimby’s sincere quest for a greater understanding of the universe is represented in these combinations. She writes\, “Human anatomy\, botanical forms\, celestial bodies\, and geometric structures function as a visual language bridging science and spirituality. For me\, painting is a disciplined act of listening—an attempt to make visible what lies beneath the surface of the seen world\, where science\, spirituality\, and mystery meet.” \nAndrew Wilson uses locally sourced wood to create sculptures\, high-voltage wood burned wall art\, and delicately balanced mobiles. He sees the beauty in each piece of wood\, incorporating its grain pattern and shape into the image or sculpture he creates; this thoughtful approach to his medium encourages the viewer to notice the wonder of this natural material\, as well. For this show\, Wilson has felt that some of his painted silver sculptures will best accompany Quimby’s paintings. Wilson writes\, “I like to simplify the color of the wood\, highlighting the unique texture.” The resulting sculptures are contemporary but familiar\, rustic but elevated. \nPlease join us as we celebrate the works of these very talented artists. \nThe Pittsboro Gallery of Arts is an artist-owned cooperative Fine Art and Craft Gallery located a few steps north of the Chatham County Courthouse circle. Artist works include a variety of media: oil\, acrylics\, watercolor\, high-voltage woodburning\, wooden mobiles\, pastel\, pen and ink\, photography\, fused glass\, ceramics\, jewelry\, basketry\, handcrafted fine furniture\, painted gourd vessels\, and sculptural works in stone\, steel\, bronze\, clay\, and wood. \nThe Pittsboro Gallery of Arts\n44-A Hillsboro Street\nPittsboro\, NC 27312\nhttps://www.pittsboroarts.org\nHours: Tuesday-Saturday: 10:30am-5:30pm\, Sunday: noon-4pm\, Closed Mondays\nThird Friday: additional hours of 5pm-8pm
