Using primarily acrylics, he prefers found objects to traditional canvases.You will see his work comprised of wild strokes and bold colors on barnwood, crates, pots and pans to name just a few.Owls are a staple in his work, as is the local people and scenery of rural Appalachia. This comes as no surprise as his family has been in Lenoir for more than 100 years.Frye looks to his surroundings for subjects for his art. “I just look at the world around me as my inspiration,” he said. “I mainly paint from memories and my imagination. It’s what I do every day. I get to paint the visions in my head all the time. I’m a lucky man.”-Charlie FryeThis event is made possible in part by a grant from Alabama State Council on the Arts.
