Winter/Spring 2012

Welcome to Pryor Fine Art.

2012 will be an important year for the gallery and for our collectors as we present an

inspiring and dynamic group of contemporary American artists. It is our mission to exhibit artists who are

masters of their execution and style while capturing the audience with insight and beauty.

We will kick off the new year with the introduction of nationally acclaimed artists Ursula O'Farrell and

Katharina Chapuis. Ursula is well known for her dynamic figurative work. Katharina Chapuis, is a Swiss born

artist and innovator in her use of space and hue. As always, beauty is a top priority in the PFA aesthetic and

is clearly represented in the work of Elise Morris. Intuitively, Elise manages striking color into an ethereal

composition that lures the viewer into her world of serenity. The PFA aesthetic is simultaneously driven by

innovation as seen in the work of Courtney J Garrett. Garrett is a young artist currently soaring to the top of

her career with her atmospheric cloudscapes that convey a deeper understanding lies beyond.

PFA is home to many of Atlanta’s most revered artists including Kenson, Felice Sharp, John Folsom and Helen

Durant. They are on the most watched list as they never fail to impress! Kenson, with one of the most unique

styles in our stable, will present new works that come from a place of emotion and expression as she

incorporate elements of surprise collaged into her narrative. The evocative and spellbinding figures of Felice

Sharp are legendary and continue to capture our imagination and inspire us every time. We welcome

Atlanta artist Helen Durant to the gallery. Durant's mixed media work has captivated us for many years and

she continues to explore and evolve with emphasis on a process that is of genuine origin and bears a

glimmer into her realm with each outpouring of expression. John Folsom has embarked on a new and quite

moving series of photo based landscape work that tells a story of passion for nature and nostalgia…

not to be missed.

Santa Fe artist Peter Burega will introduce his new series of complex abstracted landscapes. Burega builds

a view of depth with intricate glazing layers that have the ability to transport the senses.

Lastly, The Spring season will conclude with a show by the immensely talented Atlanta artist Dusty Griffith.

Through his use of mixed media, specifically encaustic, and a depth of color, he creates a restful space for

the eye to relax and enjoy. One can’t help but feel the spiritual significance of Dusty’s work. The serene

spacial compositions allow the viewer to reflect and grow as the

luminous color embraces the soul.
