Here is a bit about the show (taken from an email)…
Swim is a highly personal artist’s exploration documenting Charles Williams’ past and more recent interactions and fears associated with the ocean: from wave formations in the oceans to the physical inability to swim and the paralysis caused by his fear. His images merge the conflicting emotions aroused by the ocean: alluring and sensual, yet mysterious and at times overwhelming.
Williams will give three guided tours of the exhibit, at 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00 p.m., and will be available between tours to answer questions about his work. The tours are free and open to the public, however sign-up is requested.
Please call the Art Museum at (843) 238-2510 and sign up for the 1:00, 2:00 or 3:00 p.m. artist-led tour.
These paintings aren’t like any you’ve ever seen. Several are large, very large, 6×8′ – they are displayed in the evening room which makes them even more dramatic. There are eight large scale paintings and forty smaller scale studies.
These paintings are so dramatic and breathtaking – whoa!
