Paul Harcharik returns to Linda Hodges Gallery for a one person
exhibition of new paintings. Noted for his eloquent scenes of the Olympic
Peninsula in the late 1990's, Harcharik's current body of work is based on
nursery grown fields, seasonal crop acreage, and pasture land of the Western
North Carolina region where he grew up.
Harcharik states: "The contrasting spatial relationships of these
configured landscapes seem to satisfy my compositional needs at this time.
Studies that are site specific are started on location and clarified in the
studio where the memory of the view seems more focused. Other images owe
their origin to random color and marks from the accumulation of brush
strokes of leftover paint while working on other images. These brush runs,
as I call them, evolve into an image based on recollections from the field."
