“ It’s not possible to make a painting from a single point of view any longer.”

Eugene Horne emerges from his classical training. Traditional landscapes that were once records of scenery are now spontaneous conjurings of places and emotions.

“ My work is about memory, color, and light and comes from multiple sources, which reflects an authentic approach to painting that represents multiple points of view and multiple sources of inspiration from actual events to imagination and automatic response. I want to redefine how we perceive painting creating another point of view. I like to think of the paintings as a physical and subjective lyrical narrative about my thoughts and feelings in relation to chosen motifs and the natural world. I’ve always lived in the borderland.”

Eugene Horne has been making art for over 40yrs. He grew up in Augusta Georgia where he first was exposed to art making in high school. He later earned a BFA in studio arts from the University of Georgia and then an MFA in painting from the University of South Carolina. His work has been featured in both private and public collections throughout the United States. He has shown in New York, Martha’s Vineyard, Savannah, North Carolina and now is represented in Charleston by Fabulon Gallery.

The South Carolina Arts Commission’s Fellowship program recognizes the artistic achievements of South Carolina’s exceptional individual artists. As part of the 50^th anniversary celebration, Eugene will be exhibiting in the SCAC Fellowship Artists Retrospective Exhibition at Benedict College Henry Ponder Gallery of Art in May 2018. A few of the other guest artists include James Arendt, Linda Fantuzzo, Jonathan Brilliant, Jocelyn Chateauxvert, Manning Williams, and Mary Edna Fraser.
