ARTicles Gallery presents I WENT TO THE MOUNTAIN . . ., a solo exhibition of new works by Carol Dameron.

Dameron's formal art studies took place at Tulane, the Louvre, The Centre Americain in Paris, the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Dijon, and the Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam. She was inspired by Venetian Renaissance painter Giorgione, and her works have been described as rich and luminous, allegorical, and a fusion of contemporary mythological and erotic vision with classical European techniques. 

She describes her new exhibition with the word fervor. In it, she combines realism with abstract expressionism to create a new spatial reality. The current exhibition is dedicated to her late husband, noted photographer Herb Snitzer, and her title painting, "I Went to the Mountain to Talk to the Sun," expresses the act of carrying someone’s ashes up to the mountaintop "to release them into the ether, to turn into stars."

An opening reception will be held from 5-7 pm on Thursday, March 12.
