July and August 2008

Nathaniel Hester

The Skylight Gallery at the Hillsborough Artists Cooperative features "Animal Farm: Recent Silkscreens” by Nathaniel Hester at 102 West King Street.  This show of twenty prints is the perfect way to welcome in the new growth of spring as it captures the joy and youthful exuberance of rural farm life.  Each piece uses dynamic shapes and vibrant colors to abstractly interpret the essence of some of our favorite critters and creatures from the wild kingdom including turtle, buck, goose, bumble bee, and dog.  The series has exhibited throughout the country - most notably on display at the International Print Center New York (May 2-June 7, 2008) and has been acquired by many prestigious museum collections including most recently the Newark Public Library.  Mr. Nathaniel Hester, maintains a studio on a ninth generation family tobacco farm in the Hester's Store Community of Person County, North Carolina.  Artist reception on July 25 from 6 – 9 pm.

David Sovero

Churton Street Realty Gallery features works by David Sovero at 121 North Churton Street, Suite 1-C.  David trained at the Peruvian National Arts College.  He is an artist who is like a fountain of rich color, offering us new forms, concepts and elements of art, over many generations.  David's Incan ancestral roots were saturated with a thousand years of Andean stylized figures.  His everyday existence and relationships are intimately tied to his work, with shadowy semi-abstract specters emerging from the darkness of the canvas.  His surreal compositions and simplistic geometric forms are based in lines, texture and dimension, giving freedom to his talent and creativity.  David is also a musician and a jeweler.  The show runs from June 27 through July 24.  Opening reception on June 27 from 6 – 9 pm.

For more information and to be sure the Gallery is open call (919) 732-1855.  Entrance is from the parking lot behind The Mercantile in the 100 block of North Churton Street.  Look for the green awning over the door.
