Charleston-SC-based artist Kate Hooray Osmond shines her artistic light in this exhibition of vibrant, large- and small-scale paintings accompanied by the artist’s playful installation work. Composed of oil with gold leaf overlay, Osmond’s signature style is architectural in its bold and graphic use of line and color, as well as fresh in its perspective—the artist often employs bird’s-eye views. A perfect blend of abstraction and representational land and waterscapes will delight the eye and ignite the urge to get out and enjoy the many views our part of the country has to offer.
Time has brought all of us to this moment of wonder. Take a look around you. Life is sweet and will shine through. -Kate Hooray Osmond
the work:
Some of nature’s greatest scenic views are those of water. In addition to the numerous artistic styles and media employed to represent water—hyper-realism, abstraction, surrealism, minimalism or classicism in paint, graphite and paper collage or sculpted in stone—there are numerous points of view from which to compose one’s depiction. Water and its environs are always changing—never looking exactly the same from one second to the next. Perhaps this is why artists continually, throughout the history of art, have turned to the waterscape as subject matter.
The Scape of Water is a Museum Permanent Collection exhibition of works that portray water from a diverse array of media and perspectives, including aerial or atmospheric, linear and birds-eye view. We invite you to gaze at this very serene and meditative collection of art and ponder man’s endless urge to visually portray this ever-changing but constant life force that both sustains and intrigues us.
