A Signature Celebration
American Art Collector|September 2023
For the full month of September, Principle Gallery hosts its 10th Anniversary exhibition at the Charleston, South Carolina, location.
A Signature Celebration

The exhibition will highlight over 30 impressive pieces of artwork by around 15 of the gallery's signature artists in a variety of subject matter and theme-all in celebration of both the gallery's decade-long service in offering contemporary and classical realism, and the many talented artists that have graced the walls.

"The genius behind Principle Gallery is our artists," shares Frank Conrad Russen, gallery director. "The past 10 years flew by because of their dedication, support and passion in working with us. My job as director would not exist without these fantastic individuals. We will be featuring a curated selection of signature paintings by noted national and international artists who have been with the gallery for the 10 years we've been in business. This list includes Geoffrey Johnson, Colin Fraser, Mark Laguë, Nicolas Martin, Carlos Morago, Lynn Boggess, Christine Lashley, Kyle Sutckey, Michele Kortbawi Wilk, Anna Wypych, Maya Kulenovic, Karen Hollingsworth and many more."

Attendees to the exhibition will find paintings that capture the scenery of the Charleston area, in addition to works that reflect the themes and styles for which the artists are best known. Christine Lashley's waterscape oil painting Blue Water Shallows, depicts a scene from the Charleston waterway. "[This piece] is a new painting of a favorite motif of mine," the artist notes. "Water, transparency and the subtle shifts of light on a watery landscape have fascinated me for a long time."

While skin is a completely different substrate and ink a far cry from oil paint, the skills must be transferrable to some degree because there is a wait-time of nine months to get an appointment with him.
