Craven Arts Council is proud to present Chris Lane in the Director’s Gallery for the month of March. Lane will be presenting a series of work with birds as the subject matter. Craven Arts Council will host a reception during the March ArtWalk from 5 – 8 pm on Friday, March 12th.
Chris Lane is a local artist originally from New Bern, but moved to many cities including New York and Baltimore before returning. He was interested in art and loved to draw and paint from an early age. This translated into him becoming interested in graffiti and incorporating that style in his paintings. Lane incorporates many graffiti motifs into his work such as lettering and spray techniques and then uses colorful paint over top to hide certain parts and create the illusion of depth. This exhibition is no different as it utilizes the same technique of layering paint and the subject matter is all wildlife, in particular birds.
