‘Scenes of The City’ opening at In-Town
A reception Friday night, Aug. 4, will open “Scenes of The City,” an exhibit by Jim Tucker at In-Town Gallery, 26-A Frazier Ave. Guests are invited to meet the artist, enjoy wine and light refreshments from 5 to 8 p.m.
“Scenes of The City” includes acrylic paintings and ink drawings that give viewers a peek at the thought process of the artist as he interprets life in the city.
Tucker’s observations of people and their interactions are revealed in his paintings. He also treasures the solitude of the home and acreage he and his wife share on the Cumberland Plateau near South Pittsburg, Tenn.
Born in Connecticut, raised in South Carolina and a graduate of the University of Georgia, he continued his studies at Atlanta College of Art and Callenwolde Fine Arts Center. While working at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, he exhibited in several Atlanta galleries.
“Scenes of The City” is filled with contemporary work capturing moments by an artist who has come to see cities and entities created by generations of people pursuing their visions, dreams and hopes.
“Sometimes they succeed and mostly they fail, but they leave their mark, and those marks become a visual biography,” says Tucker.
Gallery hours are 11 a.m.6 p.m. Monday-Saturday, 1-5 p.m. Sunday. For more information: 423-267-9214.
