Gallery Oescriptlon
By Sarah Thomason, ENG 111, Composition
divided by a wall in the middle of the
room. The gallery was just the right
temperature. It was comfortable to
stand there and look at the work.
Kabeilo’s work was excellent. One
could stay there all night and look at
it. He used a lot of geometric shapes
with globes and circles. The colors that
Kabello used the most were greens
and blues.
The center of attention in the gallery
was a three piece set. A dresser, stool,
and bowl had all been painted with a
bright blue in three-D circles to match
each other

Eric McRay opened an art exhibit
with live music in the Mims Gallery
at North Carolina Wesleyan Col
lege’s Dunn Center for the Perform

by George Higgs’ original Carolina
Country Blues.
McRay is a high-profile North
Carolina painter who is gaining a
national reputation for American
Pop and African-American sub

On Oct. 3 at 7;00 pm Pete Kabello’s
art work was featured at the Four
Sisters Gallery. His art was featured
because he is the self-taught artist of
the year
Kabello’s art work is meant for deep
thinkers. People have to actually think
about the art work when looking at it to
be able to get the work. The audience
that was there last Friday night was
mostly college age students, with a few
older people present.
The room of the gallery was well lit
so that the paintings were spotlighted.
The room was set up in two sections

the next paragraph and even the
next sentence would reveal. After
finishing the story, Ms Brenner had
to tell us that the story was over. We
were still waiting with bated breath for
the grizzly murder we were sure would
mark the end of the tale. Alas, no mur
der, but it was still demented enough
to keep us all enthralled.
Ms Brenner, a professor at the
University of North Carolina at
Wilmington, is a master story-teller
and if you dare to look between the
lines, you just might see real life
staring back at you with ghastly,
unblinking eyes, ready to rock you
back on your heels and give it to you
straight.
