This Fall, Vibrant Landscapes Paintings on Show at Art League
Carol Iglesias to exhibit her plein air paintings
Carol Iglesias, an oil and pastel plein air impressionist, will be exhibiting her work in Colors of the Lowcountry & Beyond at Art League of Hilton Head this Fall. Iglesias, who is a founding member of the Hilton Head Island Plein Air Painters, has won awards at SOBA, Art League, the Maryland Pastel Society, and the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association. She won a prestigious artist residency in Diana, France, and her work has been exhibited there. Her work has also been featured in numerous publications including Carolina Arts and American Art Collector.
Iglesias’ work features strong, energetic compositional elements. She is passionate about painting brilliant color and capturing her emotional response to a location in every painting. “Working outside allows me to study all the constantly changing subtleties of colors, shadows, light, and provides valuable insight and sensitivity while I am painting,” she says. “Once inspired, I try to capture the color, light and energy as quickly as I can.”
Colors of the Lowcountry & Beyond is a collection of Lowcountry plein air paintings that Iglesias has completed over the past year and a half. The exhibit will be on display October 22 through November 22. An opening reception will be held Wednesday, October 23, 5-7pm. Iglesias will also host a Gallery Talk on Friday, November 1, at 12pm, where she will discuss her work, influences, and processes. The exhibit, reception and gallery walk are free and open to the public.
