From staff reports
The Beaufort Art Association has announced its featured artists for May and June – Frank Gorman and Gary Korosi.
Thier show, called “Edges,” will run from Monday, April 29 through Sunday, June 30, at the Gallery of the Beaufort Art Association at 913 Bay Street in Downtown Beaufort.
Edges, the outside limits, a border, a place farthest away from the center. We spend our lives in various stages of daylight and darkness; sunrise, sunset, twilight, afterglow, the golden hour, nocturnes — those edges of the day and night all bring life to art.
Edges can be soft or precise. Something “edgy” may be strong or fearless. The edges of our lives provide a unique background, defining our personalities, preferences, and individual world views.
Whether it is an oil painting to remember a meaningful event, or a charcuterie board on a table to bring people together, both artists have philosophical edges to remind us that life need not be tedious and boring, but rather, interesting, and exciting; that all of life can have purpose, beauty, and celebration.
Frank Gorman, a retired architect, has transitioned from international planning and design to putting local vistas on canvas. He now paints impressionistic landscapes, interesting wildlife, and cityscape nocturnes to interpret God’s marvelous creation in the Lowcountry. He is also current President of the Beaufort Art Association.
Gary Korosi, a retired aerospace engineer, has transitioned from the skies to the workshop. His passion now lies in crafting vibrant and natural wood cutting boards. With meticulous attention to detail, he combines the precision of engineering with the artistry of woodworking. Each board is a canvas of rich hues and intricate patterns. His creations are practical while evoking beauty in the everyday act of slicing and serving.
Join the artists for an opening night reception at BAA Gallery from 5 to 8 p.m., Friday, May 3, at the Gallery of the Beaufort Art Association.
