TIMES AND DEMOCRAT
SOUTH CAROLINA---Paintings by Alvin Staley of Orangeburg, along with works in pyrography by North Charleston artist DeWayne Sykes, will be on exhibit through June 30 at the North Charleston City Gallery. The artists will hold a free public reception at the gallery from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, June 5. Staley will present a collection of work spanning 30 years in his exhibit “Icons and Images: Christian Metaphors.” The featured paintings focus on the artist’s Christian beliefs, concerns, doctrines and fascination with the souls of people. A number of the paintings contain personalized icons that signify Staley’s visual concept of Deity. His recurring use of floating monoliths, or icons, was originally inspired by a painting titled “La Chateau des Pyrenees” by the Belgian surrealist Rene Magritte. [link]
