Carl Plansky was fascinated with the human figure. His larger- than- life paintings of beautiful opera divas are juxtaposed with jumbo- sized self-portraits that both attract and repel the viewer. Plansky died in 2009 after making a significant contribution to the American art scene. His teaching at many American colleges and universities was instrumental in changing the direction of many young artists who were privileged to learn from him. Plansky’s paintings and drawings embody the elements of the Abstract Expressionist movement whose roots were established in New York City during the mid-twentieth century.

This exhibition showcases a selection of work spanning over sixty years by retired Clemson University painting faculty Ireland Regnier.
Regnier’s art career began with a portrait of a young soldier he drew while in combat in the south pacific during World War II.
These selected paintings explore landscapes, seascapes, birds in flight and stormy skies inspired by Regnier’s own personal experiences.
After the war, Regnier graduated art with a body of work that begins in 1944 Clemson University in Clemson, SC, school and found work drafting and render- and continues through present day. ing for various architectural firms.
