Brian Vines: Fruit of the Vines Cary Senior Center Monday, July 24 to Friday, August 18 Artists Reception: Friday, July 28 | 6–8 p.m Medium: Mixed "Like all artists, I have inspirations and ideas that just need to be put down on paper or canvas. I generally work with pastel, charcoal, and oils. My biggest influences have been figurative artworks from the old renaissance masters. I've also always been in love with surrealism and Salvador Dali's creativeness, as well as painters like Frank Frazetta with their boldness of execution. Like them, I try to emulate and create visually-stimulating pieces with humor or a twist that might get the viewer thinking. I want my artwork to reflect the best of all my various influences."
