Once Upon A Time. Brian Kuehn, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

Pastel artist Brian Kuehn has joined the Lucy Clark Gallery & Studio. \u201cI am very excited to be a part of the Lucy Clark Gallery and all the great artists she represents,\u201d Kuehn says. \u201cLucy works extremely hard for her artists and goes above and beyond for her customers. Lucy\u2019s gallery is a perfect location to showcase my art as it continues to evolve.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clearing the Field. Brian Kuehn, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

Kuehn had a long career as a graphic designer and computer illustrator before moving into his current work in soft pastels.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe use of strong colors, bold lines and tight compositions is now carrying over into my pastels,\u201d says the artist, who has a degree in graphic design from Rocky Mountain School of Art in Denver.<\/p>\n

Kuehn\u2019s childhood in North Dakota and his current surroundings in Western North Carolina play a prominent role in his work. \u201cI\u2019ve always been influenced by old poster art and images from the 1930s,\u201d he says. \u201cWhen I\u2019m painting people I\u2019m drawn to faces and expressions that show emotion and seem to have a story behind them.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a medium, soft pastels lend themselves to Kuehn\u2019s gestural style and also to his subject matter. \u201cIt really is a combination of drawing and painting and I love the textures you can achieve with soft pastels in particular,\u201d he says. \u201cAll my paintings are done on a black, textured background which I create by applying a black sanded pastel primer to heavy board or masonite. This gives my work a unique intensity and texture.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Lucy Clark Gallery & Studio is located at 51 West Main Street in Brevard. To learn more, visit LucyClarkGallery.com<\/a> or call 828.884.5151.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
