Talking about PAINTINGS by: CHARLIE MUNRO

 

August 13th - August 29th articles_133 

Quote : Thought I would post the recent Press Release about the show.

 

 

Kindreds in Osterville presents Side by Side
Two legendary folk artists, Jan and Charles Munro, will be exhibiting for a week at Kindreds in Osterville this August.

A partnership for more than 40 years, artists Jan and Charles Munro continue to amaze art collectors, museum curators and visual arts critics with the offerings of their self-taught skills.
A new show, Side by Side at Kindreds Antiques and Folk Art in Osterville, presents the two legends to the public side by side for the first time in many years.

With a mission to give us a pictorial history of American life, Jan Munro’s canvases present stories of New England village life and maritime lore unlike the books on any shelf. As critics attest, Jan Munro’s works reveal the color ful details of a past that begs to be celebrated. By using a technique of teasing the canvas with realism and then taking it away, she continually captures something more alive than real.

Charles Munro carries history into sculpture and moving parts. His self-taught style has projected a combination of warmth and masculinity into the contemporary folk art world. Using wood and paint as only he can meld them, his pieces seem to emerge as a bit of history themselves.

Together, this unique husband and wife team are partners in art, collaborators in a tremendous success story for the Cape Cod art scene, and a pair of talented individuals who have each made a significant contribution to the world of folk art in the United States.

Brimfield

I just returned from our first show of the Season.  It was the Brimfield Antiques Show.  The week was long - chilly- and a few rainy days.  In spite of all of that - the crowds came.  Setting up on Monday - our expectations were grim - due to the economy and gas prices!!  But, by the end of the week - most dealers had a succesful show.  Many of our collectors came to see our new paintings and made several new friends through out the week.
 
I have added some pictures of the sites on and around our field.

Welcome to my Blog

My name is Charlie Munro and I am married to Jan Munro.  We are both Contemporary Folk Artists.  Since Jan is the famous artist in the family - I have posted some of her work in the photo album.  I will post some of my work in the next few days.   We have been painting for over 35 years now.
 
We show our paintings at several Galleries in the Country and we exhibit our newest pieces at the Brimfield Art and Antique Fair in Brimfield, Ma. 3 times a year.  (Check our events for upcoming dates.)    We also teach painting at in the summer at a few Museums as Seminars.  I haven't got time to post our resumes here tonight - but you can visit our web site at:  www.jlmunro.com  
 
Would love to hear from other artists - antique lovers (especially if you have been to Brimfield) - and anyone interested in art in general. 
 
Thank you for visiting
Charlie
