“THREE” features the artwork of three female artists from Greensboro – Agnes Preston-Brame, Adele Wayman and Sallie White. The three painters are friends and are delighted to be showing their artwork together. Each woman is well-versed in the tradition and history of painting and has dedicated years to developing and transforming their art to create significant bodies of work.
Preston-Brame, born and raised in Budapest, Hungary, worked as a freelance textile and interior designer. In her artwork, she uses acrylic, oil, pen and ink, and charcoal. Brame paints people, creating mysterious groupings of abstracted figures, that without being specific, convey feeling and psychological intensity with color, pose and the way figures interact with each other.
“If my gestural technique, my colors, subject matter or an element of surprise draws such interest from the viewer that he/she will want to take second glances at the painting, I have achieved something.”
Wayman grew up in Greensboro and was a Hege Professor of Art at Guilford College for 40 years. Wayman's landscapes celebrate particular places, seasons and times of day, yet areas of painted light and color interaction interest her as much as representing trees or light or water.
“More and more my images are about how to capture light in paint, to create pleasure in viewing the glow and sparkle, and to evoke the many metaphors and meanings light has for humans."
White, a military brat grew up traveling the world and soaking up the colors and textures of some very exotic geography. She works primarily with water-based and organic materials. Each of White's large paintings creates a world of its own, where form, gesture and mark-making collide, inviting and making space for the viewer’s narrative.
"All of life’s mysteries find expression in my work…beauty, pain, joy and madness. I aim to make space for the viewer’s own story to take over, sparked, but not informed, by my own. It seems to me that all paths intersect in some way, real or abstract. Our willingness to explore those places of connection is where we find the truth."
