During the months of September and October, the Hiddenite Arts & Heritage Center’s Lucas Mansion Gallery will feature an exhibit by Catawba County artist, Zan Thompsan. The Emerging Artists Wall, located on the 3rd floor of the Lucas Mansion, will feature paintings by Terra Gedeon.

A Meet the Artist Reception will be held for Thompson in the Lucas Mansion Gallery on October 13th from 12:00noon until 2:00pm. The exhibit and reception are free to visit and enjoy.

In an artist’s statement, Thompson explains, “I paint many subjects that engage me, but regardless of the subject, what captivates me and encourages investigation is light and shadow. In my art I exploit this light and dark by exaggerating the contrast. By doing so the subject is more dramatic and color appears more vivid. I have achieved my goal if the color and contrast embrace the viewer leaving them entertained.”
