<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">At the moment I am working on a website, and contemplating..instagram. Self promotion has not been a strength of mine, (that was always the galleries' job), but lately it has occurred to me that I also need to participate in the creation of my narrative (we used to call that.. "branding"..narrative sounds cozier). What artist hasn't stated, "the work speaks for itself"..I have and they don't. The majority of viewers want to know things, "where are you from, what does it mean, how do you do it...?", these are the questions I am frequently asked . The answers can come from different sources, the dealer, critic or your next door neighbor. The artist has a unique perspective on their mode of expression, sometimes contrary to what is perceived by onlookers, both are valid, but it can be interesting to hear what source has to say...see you in two years..(kidding).</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Ok, no excuses just images...maybe one excuse..facebook.. updating this social medium has proven to be quite distracting,..what a time vacuum..right? Anyway..I will begin again and bring this blog up to the present. Frankly I miss this forum, to me it feels like a quiet zone, passe perhaps, but if you have read this far you are interested, so thanks.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I recently received an email from someone that had seen my work on the blog, they enjoyed the images but was wondering if I was still "active"...? </span>(burn)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Yes, very much so, despite the lack of activity in this forum. </span></div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Ok, Labor Day has come and gone, so..what was my first job?Working at the Esso (Exxon now) gas-car wash, on Cherry Rd. Rock Hill, SC. I was 16 and my first day was the 4th of July, busy day for car washes in the "Hill". Showed up, put on my jumpsuit and became one of "Jerry's Tigers". A total disaster..! The highlight was when I drove the car to the wash with the gas nozzle still attached, petrol went everywhere. Clocked out, never went back.The next week I got a job on a Coca-Cola truck delivering soda, about a buck an hr. and all the Dr.Pepper I could drink!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I was born in Asheville, but really haven't had much contact with the region in over 45 years, (we moved from Clyde N.C. to Rock Hill S.C. when I was 8). This was my Dad's town and the memories I have are from when we would visit my Grandma and her sister (Aunt Rae) on Sundays: antiques (Grandma sold them), orange sherbet, hard candy in bowls, the Biltmore Dairy and the "Lawrence Welk Show" on the tube. What I most enjoyed was visiting the gift shop Aunt Rae managed in the Biltmore Village. It was full of items by local craftsman; glass, needlepoint, birdhouses, toys, jewelry, and "art". This shop was my first experience with the retail end of "making stuff", my 8 year old mind was intrigued by the concept.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Seems like everywhere you turn these days you run into a movie crew filming on the streets of Atlanta, all this production provides an opportunity for the locals to participate. I was in two films this summer...wait, let me rephrase that, my paintings were involved in two movies this summer. This is how it works...say the crew is filming in a house or hotel suite and on the wall is one of your paintings, in order for said picture to be a part of the set the artist has to sign a "release" stating it's ok, (how'd they track me down?!). Sometimes you even get paid to just hang there. The two films?..."<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2024432/"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Identity Theft</span></a>" ($100) and "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2215285/"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Madea's</span></a> Witness Protection" ($0).</span><br />

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This is one of those paintings that seems to come from nowhere. When I started drawing this one up all I knew is I wanted a painting with a beehive. The sketching took 2 full days with much erasing. Initially the lady was nude, but when I started adding the animals, the mood switched from sensuality to innocence, had to put some clothes on her. What I like about this one is how the warm "honey colors" play off the "coolness" of the landscape/atmosphere, (milk and honey). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Late summer here, so I was in the mood for a "flower painting". The quote above is taken from the "Sermon On The Mount", and having a temperament that leans toward the phlegmatic, this passage has always hit home. Throughout time the lily has been a symbol of purity, innocence, forgiveness and rebirth. The working process while painting was calm and natural, "neither toiling nor..." </span></div>

<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> <span style="color: #000099;">Circus imagery has floated in and out of my paintings through the years. Can't say I'm a big fan, haven't been to many performances but I like the concept. The world of the circus is a closed system, with it's own rules and laws of nature, under the "big-top" the illusion is real and the observer..? a believer. Isn't that also the function of all art/painting? The artist skillfully manipulates raw materials in a confined space and comes up with an alternate reality. The viewer is engaged in the scene and maybe, for a brief moment the outside world, mentally, slips away, no small task there!..but that is the goal.</span></span><br />

I don't try to analyze them, to me it's just a show, sometimes elaborate and lucid, other times misty and..well..dreamy. I have never painted my dreams but painting is a lot like dreaming, there is a freedom in the process of "making stuff up" similar to the subconscious storyline of dreaming.

<br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">My show opens tomorrow at the Arts Company in Nashville, this will be my 5th exhibition with Anne Brown and the gang. Anne has an insightful blog post about my work, read it <a href="http://theartscompany.blogspot.com/2011/08/inside-out-new-paintings-by-charles.html">here</a>, also "Nashville Arts Magazine" put me on the cover of the September issue (my second cover, thanks Paul), check it out <a href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/dd6fa379#/dd6fa379/1">here</a>.

When he was putting out the classic '60's disks we were preocuppied with the Monkees and Beatles. Somehow "Skyline" got on the radar of my 13 year old ears. FM radio was cranking up then and the stations were an eyeopener, "Lay Lady Lay" was played often. I bought the album a couple of years later, wore it out (that Cash duet!!). "Blood On The Tracks" was next, I was hooked..still am.

Like many of my paintings, "Acorn Man" started as an idea for a sculpture (sculptures I never make), which is not a bad way to envision a picture. What kept me from putting him in a painting?..well... humor is a consistent element in my work, would this be skating too close to "silly" though? But it is summer, right, not a time for "heaviness" and this was going to be the last painting for my upcoming show in </span><a href="http://www.theartscompany.com/theartscompanyupcoming"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#993300;">Nashville</span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"> so, what the heck. I kept the landscape pretty bleak to counter the cute, kinda like a last man standing image. "But that squirrel?.. man" Hey, I like painting squirrels, couldn't resist.</span></span></div>

Well "duh" you might say, but many would argue that great works hold up regardless of placement. To make my point and to keep this post brief I have a few very bias opinions on what I observed at Chicago's Art <a href="http://www.artic.edu/aic/">Institute</a>: Cubism, esp. paintings by Picasso and Braque (1910-15), couldn't look at them, they seemed to disappear from the walls (they look stunning</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#660000;"> at MOMA and in Paris), even Matisse caused a shrug (heresy!) accept his</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#660000;"> large "Bathers By The River". The Picasso that stopped me was his huge "Mother and Child", a neoclassical painting of heavy-set figures on the beach, amazing. Highly conceptual, contemporary art takes a hit in a museum such as the Institute (this work needs a whole separate building to do it justice). I tried reading the wall text that explained the <a href="http://www.artic.edu/aic/exhibitions/exhibition/utabarth">photographs</a> of curtains.. but there was a Poussin waiting in the next wing, sorry. What worked the best?, (besides the obvious, Seurat, Hopper,etc.)..late Philip Guston (above), almost a full room of them, not fussy or too cerebral, just raw paint, power and emotion,</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#660000;"> perfect for Chicago.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidEAGd49pEPKb-Np-A3RfphZaUdu-wBiYmtx848rKNYU4FQOEGVk8rkWlF7xajzgaRkifaXk5oIRGUkRyWrAau6vzU7DFGEXsRcb5731Ih3U8bzFBvV5DRh24FSw3RGw1Y6AxPre1DCAY/s1600/hopper.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidEAGd49pEPKb-Np-A3RfphZaUdu-wBiYmtx848rKNYU4FQOEGVk8rkWlF7xajzgaRkifaXk5oIRGUkRyWrAau6vzU7DFGEXsRcb5731Ih3U8bzFBvV5DRh24FSw3RGw1Y6AxPre1DCAY/s400/hopper.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629982458511568626" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;"></span><span style="font-family: times new roman;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Top:Red Box, Philip Guston 68x96" 1977<br />Middle:Looking at Nighthawks<br /><br />Below:An abstract painting of mine from 1985, relatives had it hanging in their house in Chicago, hard to believe I painted that, I must say, it looked pretty good there by the kitchen, nice to see it.<br /><br /></span></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisiPfP-3WaTLEW2nfr7ERZ4maBQYJ4JmxIWz283NlnhpkmzYdnXMfnmpMSkTmXHSo-PP3RkOY3IM4kwgP4jqPQ6uqEldiSXQwzc6IgqR81yfrRwWDl0lhZuHADOaE5I2cGaK6oBCejFM8/s1600/marks+painting.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 317px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisiPfP-3WaTLEW2nfr7ERZ4maBQYJ4JmxIWz283NlnhpkmzYdnXMfnmpMSkTmXHSo-PP3RkOY3IM4kwgP4jqPQ6uqEldiSXQwzc6IgqR81yfrRwWDl0lhZuHADOaE5I2cGaK6oBCejFM8/s320/marks+painting.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629982829553028418" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></span></div>Charles Keigerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06584002553298431678noreply@blogger.com
