Caroline Guenthner and Josh Lambert will be the Featured Artists presented at Thibault Gallery for downtown Beaufort’s First Friday from 5 to 8 p.m., Friday, Sept. 6.
Like the tides, inspiration weaves its way in and out of our lives. Whether born of the natural world or the hands of mankind, the quest for the spark unleashes our inner creativity. For artist Caroline Guenthner and photographer Josh Lambert this vision is reciprocal, transforming into a symbiotic relationship that pushes this couple in an endless pursuit to improve their crafts.
Upon discovering the view filling the camera’s eyepiece, Lambert surveys his surroundings in pursuit of a fresh image worthy of being captured, while upholding the standard that the photograph matches Guenthner’s ability to portray an animal’s spirit and bring a blank canvas to life.
In Guenthner’s signature trompe l’oeil style of oil painting, the wildlife originally caught through Lambert’s lens now breaks borders through every passing brushstroke. Each pairing of painting and photograph is a unique depiction of our natural world representing the couple’s endless sense of adventure.
The Thibault Gallery invites the public to join the inspiration, fun, and adventure presented by the featured artists on First Friday, Sept. 6 at the Thibault Gallery. The couple will showcase two paired images while on hand to share stories and autograph your favorite piece.
Come be a part of the adventure and take home your favorite piece of art with a story.
