Homegrown artist returns
|
Emphasis on light and color in her paintings stems from Jasper's long interest in color theory and visual perception, explored in her book "Powercolor - Master Color Concepts for All Media." The book spins off the color wheel in offering information and insights into the use of color. "The color wheel skips a lot of important information about color. The book presents arguments both for and against color theory, delving into all aspects of color from science to pigments, art history, and painting practices. It was written to bridge the gap between real color and wheel color." Jasper said in a written statement. After excelling in art programs at South Hagerstown High School, Jasper moved to Baltimore to study art first at Towson University. With a master of fine arts degree from Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore and following a career as a high school art teacher, Jasper now offers painting workshops for adult artists throughout the country. "Light Luxe" opens Friday, Nov. 18, through Friday, Dec. 30. A reception for the artist will be held from 2:30 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 20.

| Caroline Jasper, who attended art classes at Washington County Museum of Fine Arts as a child, returns to the museum in a different fashion. After winning Best of Show honors at the museum's 2002 annual Cumberland Valley Artists Exhibition, Jasper was invited to return for a solo exhibition. The six-week exhibition "Light Luxe" opens Friday, Nov. 18, and runs through Friday, Dec. 30. Jasper's 20 oil landscapes and water scenes will fill the museum's Kerstein Gallery. They depict actual places in exaggerated Impressionistic style. Her unconventional method of starting on a solid hot-red canvas produces dynamic visual effects, at once realistic yet abstract. Water seems to shimmer and grassy areas shift as bits of underlying red peep through between applied paint colors. | |
