Richard Stout: Soul's Journey
An exhibition of acrylic on canvas paintings by artist Richard Stout
will open at the Museum of Art and Science on May 13, 2000. The exhibition,
entitled "Soul's Journey," consists of more than 30 large scale
paintings of abstracted interiors and landscapes. The paintings are artistically
remodeled from reality, reflecting emotions related to spaces he has inhabited
or visited and often alluding to the lives of those who have lived there.
The exhibition is featured in the May issue of Southern Accents magazine,
and is on display at the Museum of Art and Science through July 3, 2000.
