Greg Thompson Fine Art to Host James Hendricks Exhibition
North Little Rock, AR – On Friday, September 16, 2011 from 5-8 pm, Greg Thompson Fine Art will host the opening of a new solo exhibition that showcases the talent of abstract artist James Hendricks in conjunction with 3rd Friday Night Art Walk in the Argenta Arts District of North Little Rock. Hendricks will be present during the opening reception.
James Hendricks: Looking into the Spirit will run through November 12, 2011. Henricks’ work features rich, colorful palates that have the dramatic sensibility of stars exploding and the essence of the creative expansionism of the universe.
Hendricks was born in North Little Rock, Arkansas and graduated from Central High in 1956. He received his B.A. from the University of Arkansas in 1963 and then his M.F.A. from Iowa.
He has had solo exhibitions at the Arkansas Arts Center, Museum of Fine Arts in Springfield. Mass., and the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D. C. His large abstract canvases are collected by museums, private and corporate collectors across the United States. He now lives outside of Amherst, Mass. with his wife Leslie and their daughter, and he teaches painting at Amherst College.
On Saturday, September 17, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. Greg Thompson Fine Art will host a gallery talk with Hendricks. The cost is $10 and reservations are recommended as seating is limited.
Greg Thompson Fine Art, established in 1995 as a private art consulting and art dealership, 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 ‘arts district’ for Central Arkansas. The gallery is on the second floor of an historic building built in 1895 known as the Faucette Building and has over 3,000 square feet of public and private viewing space. Thompson spent several months designing his new space to look, feel and operate with the integrity and quality of similar galleries in New Orleans, New York and Paris. 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.
Greg Thompson Fine Art has received awards for the Best Gallery in Arkansas from the readers of At Home in Arkansas and AY Magazine and a 2011 Platinum Service Award from the readers of Soiree, along with being featured prominently in the New York Times Travel section as the place to view art in Central Arkansas.
