| Art on the Edge featuring John Folsom and Lain York |
Zeitgeist gallery and Crosland are pleased to announce an exhibition featuring two artists well known to the Nashville area.. This exhibition provides an opportunity to view contemporary art in one of Nashville’s modern architectural treasures.
Recently featured in Southern Accents magazine, John Folsom’s large scale photographic works evoke the spirit and philosophy of the Hudson River School. His landscapes are pieced together from smaller, segmented black and white gelatin prints, forming a whole that is then softened with a wax and oil paint medium. Much like the American painters of the Hudson River School, Folsom’s landscapes embody the harmonious relationship between man and his natural world. Images include scenes from Banff (Alberta, Canada), Real Foot Lake (Tennessee), and Massac Creek (Kentucky).
A fixture in the Nashville Art community, Lain York, is constantly defining and redefining his painting. Identifiable from their images of African and South American ritual masks, Lain questions the mythological and cultural significance of the objects in our own modern day society. His use of complex color schemes and almost sculptural compositions make these works distinctive and unique.
This exhibition is taking place in the recently renovated Crosland offices on the 30th floor of the historic L&C Tower. The space with its spectacular downtown view was restored by Architect Manuel Zeitlin. The 30th floor also features the model loft for the elegant Terrazzo building. The Terrazzo stands as the culmination of the vision and collaboration between Bill Barkley (President, Crosland Tennessee), Manuel Zeitlin Architects and Hastings Architecture Associates. The 109 residential condominiums are located at the intersection of 12th & Division at the gateway to The Gulch in Downtown Nashville.
