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.

This
is Paul Hartley's biennial solo show of works,
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.
at ECU. His work is in the collections of the North Carolina Museum
of Art, the Cameron Art Museum in Wilmington, the Southeastern Center
for Contemporary Art in Winston-Salem, the Weatherspoon Art Museum
in Greensboro and the Greenville Museum of Art among others.
The Francis Speight exhibition is a reprise of
a show organized by this gallery in the spring. It features paintings
and drawings by the celebrated North Carolina-born artists. Speight,
who was from Windsor in Bertie County, taught at the Pennsylvania
Academy of Art in Philadelphia and later was artist in residence
and professor emeritus at East Carolina University School of Art.

| 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.

|
|
Reception:
Sunday, October 10, 2-5 p.m. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Featuring
20 paintings by the late professor at the University of North Carolina
at Greensboro and works by 13 artists who were greatly influenced
by Martin. Those artists are Richard Fennell, Judy Henricks, Alix
Hitchcock, Eric Lawing, Henry Link, Philip A. Link, Hillary Osborn,
Norma Rogers, Bruce Shores, Breck Smith, Jack Stratton, Chris Stephens
and Linda Tavernise.
For
over a quarter century, there has been an identifiable look about
the work produced by students from the University of North Carolina
at Greensboro. While the first generation of artists were influenced
by the Bauhaus philosophy espoused by the department's founder Gregory
D. Ivy, the second generation of students at UNC-G demonstrate the
European academy style of training practiced by their mentor, Andrew
Martin (1923-1997).
Martin,
who was born in Paris and whose father was a figural sculptor, studied
at The Art Institute of Chicago and at the traditional L'Ecole des
Beaux Arts in Paris. Bert Carpenter, the late chair of the art department
at UNC-G, saw an exhibition of the artist's paintings in New York
and invited him to teach for a semester at Greensboro. Martin stayed
at UNC-G from 1964 until his retirement in 1995. He died in 1997
after a year of intensive work in his newly constructed sculpture
studio in Greensboro.
Gallery
owner Lee Hansley knew Martin for over twenty years. Martin's last
major exhibition while he was alive was at Lee Hansley Gallery when
it was located on West Martin Street in downtown Raleigh. Hansley
has always believed that Martin was one of the most important painters
living in North Carolina and he places Martin in the pantheon of
influential art teachers in North Carolina alongside such luminaries
as Gregory Ivy, George Bireline, Joe Cox, Tucker Cooke and Paul
Hartley.
Since
Martin's death, Hansley has wanted to honor Martin with an exhibition
of his work as well as the work of students that show his influence.
This exhibition attempts to do that and goes a step further by giving
the Martin-inspired look a name, The Greensboro School of Painting.

in painting at the East Carolina University School of Art. He lives
in Black Mountain in the North Carolina mountains and is a professor
of painting at the University of North Carolina at Asheville.

This is probably the best time to come to this gallery to understand
the gallery’s mission and purpose. When I opened the gallery 12
years ago, I had a very specific vision. The gallery did not open
on a whim or any blind desire to be in the art business. This gallery
was many years in the making and did not metamorph out of a framing
operating or a hobby. It grew out of a desire to see first rate
artists promoted. The art is not restricted to regional geography,
though it has a strong North Carolina and Southeastern bent. That
comes from the fact that I grew up and have spent most of my life
in North Carolina and that I for eight years was associated with
the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art in Winston-Salem--two
years as a volunteer and six years as a curator. I had done independent
curatorial work since the early 1970s when I was a newspaper editor
in Roanoke Rapids. My first major exhibition was a retrospective
of the painter/sculptor E.C. Langford who lived in Roanoke Rapids
and who became my best friend in my hometown. I continued the curatorial
work as an avocation until it became my profession at SECCA.
Why
this show is significant to understand this gallery is rather simple.
It embodies the gallery’s aesthetic probably better than any show
I have mounted since opening. A gallery is almost totally dependent
on the taste of its director/owner. It is with pleasure that I present
each work in this exhibition to you. I feel strongly about each
piece. Each work of art in this show speaks to me personally and
I hope at least some of them will connect with you, the viewer.
Each
piece in this show represents an artist who has had some influence
over me, who has addressed my aesthetic interests or who has lured
me onto their aesthetic plane. I was perhaps closest to the late
artists Langford, Edith London and George Bireline. They are roughly
from the same old school of modernism, though it could be argued
that Bireline’s aesthetic embraced more than modernism. (However,
his aesthetic was solidly rooted in modernist thought.) An artist
who had an impact on me was Claude Howell who is not represented
here. But Claude certainly helped mold my aesthetic over the years.
Howard Thomas, whom I only met once in a social setting, is someone
I have grown to know only through his work and through my friendship
with his widow, Anne Wall Thomas. Another artist I never knew who
also has informed my aesthetic is the late Gregory Ivy, probably
the most important figure in North Carolina art is the middle of
the 20th century. Ivy did so much to bring art to North Carolina
and he left behind a strong contingent of women artists who continue
his influence today--not the least of which is his star pupil McDonald
Bane. Then there is the second generation of artists like the very
talented painter Paul Hartley, the fine sculptors Roger Halligan
and Hanna Jubran. All make this gallery what it is today.
This
exhibition has been in the making for many years, and in many ways
it is a fairly complete statement about what this gallery is about.
In almost all cases, the works shown here are representative of
the artists and we can share other works or images of works with
you upon your request. I hope you enjoy the show.

Dot Hooks, who died last year, was Johnston County's (North
Carolina) foremost artist. Born in 1916 she studied at the Art Students
League in New York City prior to returning to North Carolina where
she lived in Smithfield. She became known as the area's leading
portrait painter and portrait photographer. This exhibition showcases
a portfolio of drawings done while at the Art Students League as
well as vintage watercolors from her favorite place, Ocracoke Island.

| Vincent
Mastracco, who died in 2001 at age 59, was a respected New York
artist labeled a second generation abstract expressionist. The 25
paintings in the current exhibition are from his estate of artwork.
His works are characterized by brilliant color, heavy application
of paint, brusque brushwork and multiple techniques employing wide
and narrow blade spackling knives and other implements, masking
tape and even his fingers and thumbs. The results are fantastical
and lively paintings which evoke patterns from nature and geometry,
sometimes in the same painting. His works bring to mind the freedom
of Jackson Pollock, the color palette of Claude Monet and the expressive
brushwork of Vincent van Gough. But the finished product is distinctively
Mastracco. His canvases are literally laden with paint, some having
over $1,000 worth of paint on a single canvas. In talking about
his work, the late Mastracco used to boast that it would take up
to six months for a canvas to dry. He worked in series, working
on any number of canvases simultaneously. In this exhibition, with
works dating from the mid-1970s through 2001, the viewer will encounter
about seven different stylistic genres of painting. Mastracco was
a painter's painter; he brought paint to life.
Jonathan
Courtland, a Charlotte native, is a stone mason by trade but
spends his spare time photographing obscure details in Durham where
he lives. He captures with his camera the gritty detail of an urban
setting: worn wallpaper, graffiti adorned trash bins, the drips
from sloppy paint jobs. While his medium is clearly photography
the complete presentation of his work is quite sculptural. He manufactures
steel light boxes with distressed surfaces in which he mounts his
images on Ilfachrome transparency film which is lighted from behind.
The result is part relief sculpture incorporating color photography.
The light boxes can hang on the wall or be placed on a tabletop
or bookshelf. The 18 pieces comprising the current exhibition are
displayed in a darkened gallery to allow the imagery to dominate.

A
total of 130 Triangle artists submitted over 250 pieces for the
panel's review. Juror McDonald Bane, who saw about half the work
on Sunday before the jury process was stopped, remarked that is
was one of the strongest bodies of work she had ever seen in a juried
competition.
Gallery
owner Lee Hansley noted, "We are very pleased at the response; it
exceeded our expectations both in quantity and quality. In fact,
when the jurying is completed on Thursday, we may have so much work
that the exhibition will have to be shown in two parts. We are open
to that eventuality."
Hansley
continued, "If there was any disappointment, it was that crafts
people didn't seem to get the message. We would have welcomed more
craft works. The entries are very strong in painting and other 2-D
media, however."

| Jody
McLeane, who lives in Eagle River, Wisconsin, is an award-winning
master of the pastel medium. She uses pure powdered pigment, which
she crumbles in her left palm, using it as a palette. To apply the
pigment to the surface of the paper ground she uses her thumb and
grinds the pigment into the paper. This gives her work a painterly,
expressive quality. The finished drawings are steamed to bind the
medium to the support. McLeane is a member of the Pastel Society
of America in New York and was elected as a master panelist by the
society. Her works have been featured in four books, including The
Best of Pastel II, published by Rockport Publishers, in 1998. Her
works are in scores of public collections including the Amoco Corporation
in Chicago, Walt Disney Corporation in Florida, the Mayo Clinic
in Rochester, Minn., Northwest Air Lines in Detroit and the Hallmark
Collection in Kansas City, Mo. The 12 works in this show feature
scenes of imagined interiors as well as figural backstage vignettes
from the theatre.
McDonald
Bane,who lives south of Raleigh in the New Hill community, is
a painter, drawer, educator and curator. She has an undergraduate
degree in general science from Virginia Tech and earned her MFA
at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where she studied
with her mentor and lifelong colleague Gregory Ivy. She has taught
at Meredith College in Raleigh, at Southern Illinois University
in Carbondale, at the North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem,
at the North Carolina Governor's School and at California State
University at Fullerton. She has organized and curated scores of
exhibitions as chief curator at the Southeastern Center for Contemporary
Art in Winston-Salem and as an independent curator working for The
Arts Council, Inc. of Winston-Salem. She has juried many exhibitions
and has served on numerous art panels in the Southeast. Bane has
works in a number of public and private collections, the most notable
of which is the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The six works
that comprise her solo exhibition here are the latest in her series
of large-scale geometric abstractions on canvas.
Janis
Goodman, who lives in the nation's capital, is an associate
professor of art at the Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington,
D.C. Her undergraduate degree is in printmaking from Queens College
in New York. She also studied art at Pratt Graphics Center in New
York; at the Etruscan Foundation in Siena, Italy; and at the Corcoran
School. Her MFA is in painting from George Washington University.
Goodman has a distinguished exhibition record having shown her work
in galleries and art centers in Washington, New York, Baltimore,
Indianapolis, Germany and The Netherlands. Works by Goodman are
in the collections of the Allen Memorial Art Museum at Oberlin College
in Ohio, the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, the Hickory
Museum of Art, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington,
the Federal Reserve in Richmond, the University of Virginia, the
Knoxville Museum of Art, the Hunter Museum of Art in Chattanooga,
the Terra Collection in Chicago, among others. Her works in this
exhibition are poetic and atmospheric images of trees and birds
that evoke a universal sense of time, memory, nature and history.
The mixed media works are of oil, wax and graphite on canvas, paper

| Paul
Hartley, who is head of painting at East Carolina University
School of Art, is one of North Carolina's leading painters. The
Charlotte native earned his B.A. at the University of North Texas
in Denton and his M.F.A. from East Carolina University. He has been
on the faculty at ECU since 1975. His work is characterized by very
detailed painting juxtaposed against a backdrop of abstraction which
likely will contain recognizable objects for the viewer to excavate
over time. He is the master of a technique called acrylic lift in
which paint is applied to a glass surface, later removed and applied
to a canvas or panel support. His subject matter is both personal
and universal.
Pat
Scull, who lives in Raleigh and was reared near the nation's
capital, is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.
She completed additional art study at the Corcoran School of Art
in Washington, D.C., and at the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill. Known primarily as a painter, Pat moved into sculptural
relief and then headlong into sculpture. About four years ago her
3-D interest led her to ceramics. Her latest body of work in clay
consists mostly of very imaginative and fanciful teapots. She has
brought to her ceramic creations her affinity for color from her
paintings and the love of form from her sculpture. Each piece pays
its respect to the teapot form while at the same time each is a
unique work of art.

|
Reception:
Sunday, August 10, 2-5 p.m. |
| |
|
| |
|
This
exhibition marks the 80 birthday of the late gallery artist George
Bireline. Prior to Bireline's death last August, his work was the
subject of a large solo exhibition at the gallery. During preparation
for that show, George agreed in concept to the planning of an 80th
birthday celebration, thinking the show would be rather small in
scale. What George didn't know was that the gallery planned to surprise
him by inviting his close friends, who are artists, to show work
alongside his paintings. This promises to be an upbeat celebration
of the life, friendship and work of George Bireline, North Carolina's
leading 20th Century artist.
Included
in the "& Friends" portion of the show will be works by his widow,
ceramist Jennie Bireline, and his son, painter Marek Bireline. Other
artists with works in the show are Bireline's longtime friends R.D.
Newnam of Durham, Claude McKinney of Raleigh and architect Ligon
Flynn of Wilmington. Other friends and colleagues with works in
the exhibition are Graham Auman, Jill Bullitt, Lope Max Diaz, Susan
Toplikar and Brad Watkins, all of Raleigh; Ron Rozelle of Saxapahaw,
N.C.; Ron Taylor of Florida; and Paul Jeremias of Asheville. Bireline's
two daughters, Alex and Lise, both of Raleigh, have loaned personal
works to the show as have his two stepsons, Brent and David Wilson,
also of Raleigh.

Wilson's band performed on the gallery's front porch for the reception/birthday

|
This
exhibition features the works of two couples: Aaron Karp and Jane
Abrams of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Reginald Rowe and Jan Tips
of San Antonio, Texas. While Rowe and Tips are exclusively abstract
nonobjective painters, Karp, who has shown in the gallery on numerous
prior occasions, is an abstractionist whose subjects are often rooted
in reality. Jane's more representational work draws its subject
matter from her travels. The exhibition will provide viewers the
opportunity to campare and contrast works by these two artist couples.
The color and light of the Southwest infuses their artwork.

Ted
Potter, director of the Anderson Gallery at Virginia Commonwealth
University in Richmond, shares his latest series of paintings drawn
directly from his experiences in the art world. Potter is best known
in North Carolina as the former director of the Southeastern Center

This
exhibition comes to Raleigh from the University of New Orleans where
it received critical acclaim. Through this series of large-scale
expressive paintings, Potter pokes fun at the art establishment,
which he knows from inside the ropes, and affords us the opportunity
to laugh a little at ourselves.

Reception:
February 9, 2-5 p.m. |
|
The
gallery celebrates its 10th Anniversary with a group show based
on a survey to define what constitutes "the perfect painting".
More
than a decade ago, Russian emigre artists Vitaly Komar and Alexander
Melamid queried 1,001 Americans about their tastes in color, form,
style and content to determine what would constitute "The Perfect
Painting."
Lee
Hansley Gallery took some of the study's basic results involving
scale, color and content and invited our stable of artists, along
with a few guest artists, to create a perfect painting in his or
her recognizable style.
