Spartanburg Art Museum in Spartanburg, SC, Features Works by Carl Plansky The Spartanburg Art Museum (SAM) will host the retrospective exhibition Carl Plansky: Thirty Years of Painting in collaboration with Elder Gallery in Charlotte, NC, on view from Mar. 5 through May 4, 2013. A reception will be held on Mar. 10, from 2-4pm, at Chapman Cultural Center in Spartanburg, SC, with a gallery talk at 3pm by gallery owner and exhibition curator Larry Elder on Plansky’s life and work. The event is free and open to the public, and refreshments will be served. Planksy (1951-2009), artist, teacher, paint maker, maintained studios in Brook- lyn and East Meredith, New York and Budapest, Hungary. Born in Miami Beach, Planksy studied at Maryland Institute College of Art and moved to New York in Late Summer on the Chattooga River 38 x 50 inches 1970 to attend Hans Hofmann’s New York Studio School.

The rope is symbolic of a situation of tension and frailty, of strength unraveling. Huguette Despault May, in her exhibition on display at the Curtis R. Harley Gallery at the University of South Carolina Upstate in Spartanburg, SC, on view from Mar. 7 - 29, 2013, examines that rope literally and metaphorically. Amazingly intricate in detail, May’s charcoal drawings in the Hawser Series are a close-up study of knotted, twisted and fraying ropes. The artist discovered an abandoned ship’s hawser (a rope used for mooring or towing a ship) while on a trip to Bedford, MA. The rope’s heft and tattered state immediately suggested an exciting series of drawing investigations.
