Loading Events
Date:
August 13, 2017 - December 1, 2017
Time:
12:00 am - 11:59 pm
Venue:
The Watermill Center

Exhibition open by appointment only.

Over the course of three decades Royce Weatherly has produced just a few dozen works, some taking up to three years to complete. Looking Slowly: 30 Years of Painting includes 15 paintings, as well as photographs that span 1995 to the present, and highlights the evolution of what’s become the artist’s signature practice – a meticulous observation of the intersection of light, space, and “object-ness.” Modest in scale, typically measuring no more than 16 inches on any dimension, Weatherly examines subtle subject matter common to his North Carolina upbringing – cigarette wrappers, lighters, potatoes, black walnuts and lard – that’s always clearly and scrupulously presented to the viewer without comment or narrative suggestion.

Looking Slowly is curated by Noah Khoshbin and Daneyal Mahmood.

This exhibition is open by appointment only, or during public programs at The Watermill Center, including tours, In Process events, and Artists’ Table.
