Craighead Green Gallery   Please join us Saturday, February 20th, 5:00 - 8:00PM  for an artist reception featuring new works by  Harry Ally, Bill Fegan & John Hathorn View a Slide Show of Our Current Exhibition at http://craigheadgreen.com/current.htm    Harry Ally lives in both Ohio and Georgia. Recognized as one of the finest painters in the Southern United Sates, Alley's large canvasses support deep layers of media ranging from oil to more experimental materials including sand, tar, and concrete. His work is a study of human nature, figures posing perfectly still, painted in unexpected colors. The figure is often the sole point of interest in the painting.  There is a markedly primitive feel to Harry Ally's work.  Even with his raw figures, each canvas seems like a realistic moment in nature. Ally believes in truth revealed through abstraction, honesty revealed through distortion and exaggeration.  Harry Ally received a Master of Fine arts Degree in Drawing and Painting from the University of North Texas and a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Painting from Texas Christian University.    Nuit 5, 61" x 45", mixed media on canvas      Bill Fegan:  For his first exhibition with Craighead Green Gallery, Dallas artist Bill Fegan is presenting large scale oil paintings on canvas.  Fegan was born in Ft. Worth and attended Southern Methodist University on a Meadows Foundation Scholarship and then graduated with a BFA in 1972.  Fegan has shown his work both nationally and internationally.  The focus of his subject matter ranges from land and ocean scapes to fields of tall grasses. His thick painterly style brings a luscious realism to the canvas. His ability to capture light and its effect on what we see is a recognizable and integral part of his paintings.  In and Out, 53" x 78", oil on canvas John Hathorn is presenting his fourth body of work for exhibition with the Gallery. Born in Oxford Mississippi he currently resides in Louisiana. Hathorn received his M Ed at the University of Mississippi, Oxford and then received his MFA at Florida State University, Tallahassee. These new paintings, titled "The Baudelaire Sketches", are part of a series of paintings offering an interpretive response to poetry, including selected works by the Nineteenth century French Poet, Charles Baudelaire.  Hathorn explains that "the paintings reflect the significance of correspondence as a tracing of felt experience - exploring the relationships of image to language and sensation to form.  The Bauderlaire Sketches Of a Miraculous Plant, 72" x 78", oil on canvas
