WILMINGTON, DE.- The Delaware Art Museum’s community-generated Outlooks Exhibition Series showcases regional artists of national and international stature in the Outlooks Gallery. The Museum presents its next Outlooks exhibition, Inside Out: Carol Tippit Woolworth, Catherine Drabkin, Pahl Alexander Hluchan, Colleen Randall, Daniel Jackson, on view January 23 through April 24, 2016.
Inside Out features regional painters Carol Tippit Woolworth, Catherine Drabkin, Pahl Alexander Hluchan, Colleen Randall, and Dan Jackson. Each of the artists explore the concept of “place”–physical, emotional, and spiritual–in their work, which ranges from abstract to realistic.
Carol Tippit Woolworth’s oil paintings are experiments in color, form, and shape, capturing the landcapes and villages of southeast France. Catherine Drabkin creates interior and still-life scenes in oil and gouache–expressed in muted or brilliant colors–to summon up memories of happiness. Pahl Alexander Hluchan uses gouache to explore the forms and shadows of both nature and architecture. In Colleen Randall’s abstract oil paintings, color and surface evoke not just a physical place, but its spiritual essence. Daniel Jackson, a realist oil painter, brings observed objects and locales to life on canvas.
Carol Tippit Woolworth coordinated Inside Out. She studied art at Santa Barbara Community College, the University of California at Santa Barbara, and at Silvermine Guild Arts Center in Norwalk, CT. She has taught graphics and still-life oil painting at the Delaware College of Art and Design and exhibits widely in the Wilmington region. She also teaches painting on an individual basis.
