Greg Thompson Fine Art to Feature Works of
Rebecca Thompson
North Little Rock, AR – Rebecca Thompson likes to tell a story. On Friday, November 19, 2010 from 5-8 pm, Greg Thompson Fine Art will host the opening of a new Thompson exhibit, Twice Told Tales in conjunction with 3rd Friday Night Art Walk in the Argenta area of North Little Rock.
The show will run through January 15, 2011 and will feature a number of Rebecca Thompson’s new works. Thompson's paintings come from her travels, from ordinary objects that catch her eye in a new way, and from people caught in a pivotal moment. Her atmospheric strokes of color, her washes of light, and her sense of place engage the viewer and invite lingering.
Thompson prefers to paint on site. If this is not possible, she relies on the site-made sketches, color notes, and journal entries to supplement photographic records. Her work is in public and private collections locally, on the east coast, and in France and Bali.
One of Thompson’s new paintings, The Circle, will be featured in this exhibition. It brilliantly captures a snapshot of one of many animated conversations that happen each Saturday at the Farmer’s Market.
“Rebecca’s stories that she tells through her landscape and figurative works are those that we all can relate to,” says Greg Thompson, owner of Greg Thompson Fine Art. “Her work is approachable, as is she, and this new body of work is the perfect way for us to end a perfect year."
Greg Thompson Fine Art, established in 1995, opened its public gallery space in June 2009. It is located at 429 Main Street in the historic Argenta area of North Little Rock that is quickly becoming the ‘art district’ of the greater Little Rock/North Little Rock area. The gallery is on the second floor of an historic building built in 1895 known as the Faucette Building. Thompson spent several months designing his new space to look, feel and operate with the integrity of similar galleries in New York, Paris and California. It boasts 18-foot ceilings, original hard wood floors, and clean white walls. “There is nothing like it in the state of Arkansas. It is quickly becoming a destination gallery for the South,” Thompson says.
