Handbag - Oil on Canvas - Marti Jones Dixon

Joshua Bronaugh - New Works

"This new body of work is evocative, drawing imagery from myths and dreams while maintaining Bronaugh's meticulous and unusual technique of painting. The result is a comprehensive, yet distinctive image that feels both intimate and monumental".

Olen Bryant - New Works and Then Some

Olen Bryant is 85 years-old in May 2012. He has spent a lifetime perfecting his innovative, signature style of figurative works in both wood and clay while inspiring a new generation along the way (he was head of Sculpture Dept and at Austin Peay State University for 30 years). He received the Governor's Award for the Arts for the State of Tennessee in 2007 and was recently recognized as recipient of the George Mabry Award given by APSU and Customs House Museum.

The demand for Olen Bryant's signature style has not wavered in nearly 50 years. It speaks well of his subtle way.

May 4th - June 16th

Murat Kaboulov - Works on Paper

Murat Kaboulov /Works on Paper is a follow up to LeQuire Gallery's 2011 tribute show for this Russian master. The exhibit focused on a specific genre of Kaboulov's work -- watercolors, acrylics, charcoals and pastels. An extensive collection of these mediums are available in a wide range of sizes.

The Figure in Charcoal and Terra Cotta

"After it is fired, terra cotta preserves the artists touch - allowing us to sense the artist's presence in a fingerprint even hundreds of years later".
- Alan LeQuire, 2011

"Drawing is among the most innately human activities. It is an immediate art form considered to be as natural and close as thought itself."
- Juliette Aristides, 2011
