Horton Hayes Fine Art in downtown Charleston is pleased to present an exhibition of new paintings by Chris Groves entitled “Reflection”. An opening reception will take place on Thursday, September 30, from 5-8pm and the show will run through October 24th.
This grouping is inspired by both Groves’ fascination with the reflective nature of light as well as the contemplative sensibility he aims to elicit through his work. The pieces demonstrate Groves’ keen attention to the illumination of the objects and landscapes he portrays as he captures the angle and intensity of light and the specific luster of surfaces with exquisite precision.
Groves studied painting at the Florence Academy in Italy. He excels in the Tonal style of painting which employs a limited palette of mostly neutral hues from which the value ranges of colors are developed. The technique builds layers of atmosphere, texture and depth in a painting. Groves works hang in numerous private and corporate collections.
Horton Hayes Fine Art is located at 30 State Street in downtown Charleston. Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday 10:00am-5:30pm and Sunday 12:30pm to 5:00pm. For more information visit hortonhayes.com or call (843) 958-0014.
