Lope
Max Diaz: This 2006 series of paintings, all entitled "Oops",
brings together a number of elements in the artist's visual vocabulary
resulting in a body of work that is concerned with color, space,
surface and symbolism. Diaz, a native of San Juan, has been on the
faculty of the N.C. State University College of Design since 1988
when he was named to fill the post of the late painter George Bireline.
His work has been featured in solo exhibitions at the Mint Museum
of Art in Charlotte, at the University of Puerto Rico Museum of
Art and at the Greenville (NC) Musuem of Art among others. He regularly
shows in his hometown of San Juan. Lope Max Diaz has been associated
with Lee Hansley Gallery since it opened in 1993.
Andras
Bality is one of Virginia's leading mid-career artists.
He is a native of Richmond and lives there now. He is a graduate
of Virginia Commonwealth University and completed post-graduate
work at the Cyprus College of Art in Europe. He exhibits regularly
in New York and Richmond as well as in Hungary, the country of his
ancestors. Bality has been in a number of group shows at Lee Hansley
Gallery, but this is his first solo show. It features watercolors
capturing vignettes of everyday life.

The
works of Anne Wall Thomas are a reflection of her
modernist roots. Thomas, who is the first MFA graduate of Woman's
College (now the University of North Carolina at Greensboro), studied
with the art department's founder, Gregory Ivy, who is recognized
as North Carolina's first modernist. Her images, for the most part,
concern themselves with shape and color and other formalist considerations.
The collage elements in her works are selected for their function
as forms and color, not so much their literal subject matter.
Thomas,
who has taught at Queens College in Charlotte, at the University
of Georgia and at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill,
is the former director of the Greater Reston Arts Center in Virginia
and until recently was the adminsitrator for the Southeastern College
Art Conference.
Her
works are in a number of public collections including Vanderbilt
University, the Georgia Museum of Art at Athens, the North Carolina
Museum of Art, the Ackland Art Center, the Weatherspoon Art Museum
and at the Gallery of Art and Design at N.C. State University among
many others.
This
exhibition, while not planned as a retrospective, is a survey of
her collage and painting output in her medium of choice, gouache.
Of the 30 works in the exhibition, 21 are from the 21st Century.
Caroly
Van Duyn is a recent transplant from Connecticut to Cary,
and this is her first solo exhibition in North Carolina. She is
a sculptor whose medium is clay and found objects. Most of her works
deal with the human figure, many conveying pathos and emotion. Other
of her works however are pure abstract forms derived from nature.
Van
Duyn earned a BFA at the State University of New York at Purchase.
She studied further at the Silvermine Artists Guild in Connecticut,
worked with Larry Rivers and Eric Fischl at the Master Workshop
in Art at South Hampton, N.Y., and has studied with Sandra Graf,
Andrew Lewis and Scott Tubby. She has also studied at Wesleyan Artists
Guild and Brookfield Crafts Center in Connecticut and at the Taos
Art Institute in New Mexico.

which includes 33 new paintings, three enamel works and three 3-D
constructions. Hartley is head of painting and drawing at the East
Carolina University School of Art where he has been on the faculty
since 1975. He is a native of Charlotte and was reared in Atlanta.
He earned a B.A. at the University of North Texas and an M.F.A.

of Art, the Cameron Art Museum in Wilmington, the Southeastern Center
for Contemporary Art in Winston-Salem, the Weatherspoon Art Museum

| George
Bireline, a fixture on the North Carolina art scene for
the last half of the 20th Century, was a vanguard painter. In addition
to being a career art instructor at the N.C. State University College
of Design, he maintained a lifelong active career as a professional
artist. His works are in a number of museum collections including
the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Wasington, D.C., the
Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse, N.Y., the Ackland Art Museum
at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and the Duke
University Museum of Art in Durham among others. The largest repository
of his work in public collections is housed at the Virginia Museum
of Fine Arts in Richmond and at the North Carolina Museum of Art
in Raleigh.
This
exhibition is comprised of 38 works from private collections and
from his estate. The show contains a number of drawings and several
three-dimensional works. "This is a surprising variety of work
that we have pulled together," said gallery owner Lee Hansley.
"Some of these paintings have been seen only once in this area
at the North Carolina Museum of Art. And some of these works are
monuments in the overall oeuvre of this very important North Carolina
artist." Works representing the four distinct periods in Bireline's
work are included in the show--abstract expressionism, trompe l'oeil,
color field and narrative.
Bireline
is a native of Peoria, Illinois, but he lived most of his life in
Raleigh. He earned his BFA at Bradley University in Peoria and his
MFA at the University of North Carolina. His works have been the
subject of a number of major exhibitions including a retrospective
at the North Carolina Museum of Art in 1976 and another survey show
at the former City Gallery of Contemporary Art in Raleigh in 1995.
Earlier this year his work was featured in museum shows at the Asheville
Art Museum and at the Greenville (N.C.) Art Museum.

| Francis
Speight is one of North Carolina's most recognized artists of
the mid-20th Century. His paintings of his beloved native North
Carolina as well as his adopted home in the Philadelphia area are
his trademarks. He was born in Windsor, the county seat of rural
Bertie County in northeastern North Carolina, in 1896. He studied
at Wake Forest University, at the Corcoran School and finally at
the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts where he also taught from
1925-1961. He and his artist wife, the late Sarah Blakeslee, returned
to North Carolina in 1961 where Speight became artist-in-residence
at East Carolina University School of Art. His works are included
in scores of public collections including the American Academy of
Arts and Letters in New York, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the
National Academy of Design in New York, the Art Gallery of Ontario
in Toronto, the North Carolina Museum of Art among others. This
collection of paintings and drawings from the estate of the artist
includes a never before exhibited two-panel study for a WPA mural
proposal, paintings of Manayunk, Pennsylvania, where Speight lived,
as well as one large-scale canvas painted in his backyard in Bertie
County in 1928. According to Lee Hansley, gallery owner, this is
the largest body of work by Speight shown in Raleigh since the artist
died in 1989.
Wayne
McDowell: This exhibition marks Wayne McDowell's first show
in the Triangle. He is a plein air painter working in two distinct
genres--still lifes and seascapes. The five seascapes in this exhibition
were painted on Bald Head Island at Southport. The horizon lines
are very low, emphasizing the flatness of the land and the grandeur
of the sky. His still lifes, which lean toward the minimal, feature
relatively few objects as focal points in the paintings, thereby
allowing the artist to give attention to the backgrounds within
a limited pallet. There is a strong relationship between the landscapes
and still lifes, even though at first glance they appear to be quite
different. McDowell's focus on the nothingness in both genres and
his expressive brushwork are similar in both bodies of work; only
his subject matter is vastly different. McDowell was born in Memphis
in 1960 and studied at the Memphis College of Art. He moved to Wilmington
in 1998 where he paints and does freelance web design work. The
Cameron Art Museum recently added one of his paintings to its collection.
Ahmad
Sabha came to North Carolina as a senior in high school as a
foreign exchange student from Israel. He remained and studied at
Central Piedmont Community College and later earned a civil engineering
design degree from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
In addition to his work in clay and photography, Sabha is employed
in the planning department of the City of Charlotte. His works reflect
his interest in the urban industrial aesthetic. His objects are
inspired by factories, gears, pipes and unadorned structures built
with little or no concern for their visual impact.

| These
two solo exhibitions feature a complete new body of work by Margie
Stewart of Durham, professor of art at Meredith College in Raleigh,
as well as a fresh new series of drawings by Ashlynn Browning of
Raleigh.
Margie
Stewart's expressive paintings of still lifes and interiors
evoke the works of famed Italian painter Giorgio Morandi. The exhibition
contains 27 new works.Stewart has degrees from Western Carolina
University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as
well as the College of Design at N.C. State University. She earned
her MFA from UNC-Greensboro.
Ashlynn
Browning of Raleigh provides a cohesive show of works on paper
employing graphite, charcoal, oil, pastel and collage elements.
These loosely rendered works hint at landscapes and figures without
providing the viewer with too much information. They are very monochromatic
and textural with only understated hints at color. Browning studied
with Stewart at Meredith College prior to earning her MFA degree
from UNC-Greensboro.
These
are inagural solo exhibitions for both of these artists at Lee Hansley
Gallery. Both have participated in group exhibitions in the recent
past.
