Earth, Water, Fire and Air the elemental components of our natural existence, each a force
of kinetic power and tranquil peace. Mankind's struggle continues, teetering on the brink of domination and surrender, the goal as always - control.
The artist Brenda Pinkston is a North Carolinian transplant from Trenton, New Jersey. Placing at the tip of her brush the essence of love, hurt, passion, fear, elation and other perceptions to provoke and evoke cognizance. Her brush strokes in such works as 'American Influence' harness the 'kinetic energy' of emotionalism, yet there
is a clear reflection of calm and hope in her work, 'The Cure'. I find that her works preach to my eyes. Her sermon is short and sweet and proclaims... within the confinement of the line, there is intensity one must take time to feel what the image can barely contain.
Sculptor and painter, Crystal Pinkston is a New Jersey native who has been living in the Charlotte area for almost twenty years.
'Or Not?' represents this artist take on the whimsical elements of life. Her paintings and sculptures, unpredictable, define a playful use of abstract illusions, vibrant contrasting colors, unusual materials and these wonderful characters. Guaranteed enjoyment is destined viewing Pinkston's works, which make light of the quirks in life that clearly identify what being human is all about,
'Or Not?'.
Originating from Hickory, North Carolinian artistic force, Christopher Brown explores the meaning of 'Kinetic Power' in his many works. It is at the core of kinetic thought where you will experience Brown's concern for humanity. Breaking through tradition and exploring truth is boldly showcased in such work as 'School Days'. The combination of every day materials and intense strikes of pastels culminate his eclectic style of mix media.
