Featured Exhibit: Darcel Deneau “Detroit Exposed”
Opening Reception: October 3, 2008 from 6:00pm - 9:00pm
|
Sherrus Gallery of Fine Art is honored to host the two-day only exhibit of “Detroit Exposed” which features a new body of works by well-known Michigan artist, Darcel Deneau. The artist will be in the gallery during the opening reception on Friday, October 3rd to meet the public and discuss her works. The reception is open to the public and is a free event.
Aggressive brushstrokes bring an intense energy and life to Darcel’s urban landscapes which focus on downtown Detroit. Geometric patterns of windows, buildings and intersections depict the stark beauty of the city which is peopled only by anonymous automobiles – touches of rich color brings an underlying warmth to the cityscapes.
|
Gallery director, Sara Marlowe-Cholette says, “her use of perspective and muted tones bring a realistic aura to her works, truly capturing the heart and soul of Detroit.”
The tragic and still unsolved murder of her father and near death of her mother propelled the artist to embrace her passion for painting and complete her BFA from the College for Creative Studies in 2002. Darcel painted the images of Detroit as a way of coping with her grief and connecting to her childhood memories of her father. These paintings have established Darcel as a formidable artistic force in the metro area and earned a commission for the artist for the poster artwork for the 28th Detroit International Jazz Festival.
|
“It has been accurately said that Darcel is creating an artistic documentary of this period in Detroit’s history. Her work is not only exceptionally well done from an artistic perspective – it is important. Decades from now when people see Darcel’s work they will “know” Detroit as we are experiencing it today. This is going to be a brief but powerful exhibit – one that should not be missed!” according to gallery owner, Sherri Mewha.
Darcel has exhibited her works in many group and solo shows; her paintings can be found in numerous private and corporate collections, including: Mack Avenue Records, Ernst & Young, Gretchen Valade, University of Michigan, IAC Automotive and Visteon Corporation.
