Event Announcement for the Colonial Arts Center & The CAC Gallery

BUCKHANNON, WV: The CAC Gallery is pleased to announce “Left of Center,” a two-person exhibition featuring the work of Michael Doig and Kevin Woodcock. The exhibition opened on January 17th and will run through February 28th. There will be an artist reception on Saturday, January 25th, from 1 pm to 4 pm, with an artist talk at 2 pm.

Michael Doig’s paintings are inspired by a childhood spent exploring life in and along the Tygart River. He uses imagery evocative of life in a small town, interspersed with surprising colors and drips of paint that obscure parts of the picture plane, conjuring thoughts of memory, erosion, and deep geological history.

Kevin Woodcock’s work strives to express his sense of awe for nature and natural phenomena. Woodcock says, “I am not interested in being so precise as to look like a photograph; rather, I work in a more gestural manner to try to show some of the movement of the place, whether it be wind, water, or sound.”

The CAC Gallery is open Fridays and Saturdays from 4 to 8 p.m. It is located at 48 East Main Street in downtown Buckhannon, WV. All gallery events are free and open to the public.
