On
January 10th Elder Art Gallery Gallery will provide a sneak preview
of four artists who have recently joined the gallery’s
roster. Leonel Matheu, Gina Gilmour, Karen Roberson Powell,
Jill Jones and Tom Perkinson will be featured in upcoming
exhibitions at Elder Art Gallery during 2003.
 Cuban-born
painter Leonel Matheu is scheduled for a
one-man show in September. During this special preview in
January, the gallery will exhibit four paintings by this internationally-known
artist whose work provides a dramatic narrative of the continuing
struggle of man against the destruction of the natural world.
Matheu arrived from Havana in 1988 and has made Miami Springs,
Florida his home. His family was the subject of an HBO movie,
For Love or Country, starring Andy
Garcia.
Gina
Gilmour is a Charlotte native who has spent most
of her adult life painting and exhibiting her art in New York
City. She currently maintains studios in both Manhattan and
Charlotte. Gilmour’s work will include paintings and
pieces constructed using neon.
 Karen
Roberson Powell has recently moved from Dallas, Texas
to Marshall, North Carolina. She received her MFA at the University
of North Carolina in Greensboro with a concentration in sculpture.
She has studied in Italy, Wales, and England as well as at
the Academy of Realist Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico and the
Carving Studio in Proctor, Vermont. Elder Art Gallery will preview
her bronze sculptures during the January show. Powell will
participate in a two-person show at Elder Art Gallery during November.
 Spartanburg
artist Jill Jones will exhibit her unique
pastel and charcoal drawings during the January show. A number
of works from her “Southern Series” will present
her view of the landscape from a native Southerner’s
perspective. 
Tom
Perkinson of New Mexico is nationally known for his
beautiful impressionistic oil paintings. Perkinson strives
to communicate his personal artistic statement clearly, through
painting scenes that celebrate the beauty and innocence of
life. When describing his paintings Perkinson uses words such
as light spirited, romantic, idealistic, innocent, carefree
and simple times. Elder Art Gallery will host a one-man show for Perkinson
in August of this year.
FOUR SHADOW PLUS ONE will open with a reception on Friday,
January 10, 2003, from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. The exhibition
