SouthWind Gallery is pleased to bring you an exclusive
invitation of SouthWind Art Gallery's 2015 Collector’s
Exhibit. The gallery is featuring over 40 works from 20
regional artists representing the state of Kansas. Before
the 2015 Collector’s Exhibit is open to the public, owner,
Gary Blitsch, and assistant gallery director, Alex Olson,
has invited members of the art community, collectors and
buyers, to examine the work during an exclusive art event.
Gary Blitsch and his team always take time to ask gallery
visitors, “Which painting is your favorite?” They greet
each visitor with a jovial smile and instill an appreciation
for art that remains deep-rooted. Visitors and guests will
be able to see new and old work from their favorite regional
artists including, Louis Copt, Allan Chow, and Kim
Casebeer.
In preparation for the exhibit and collection, Gary Blitch
knew he wanted diversity in size, style, and price. He
requested one big and one small work from each selected
artist. Each art piece represents the state of Kansas in a
unique yet identifiable way.
Louis Copt represents Kansas through his landscape
paintings. He works with oil, acrylic, pastel, and
watercolor and has led numerous paintings workshops of the
Kansas Flint Hills. Copt tries to sustain high standards of
excellence in his own artistic expression and it shows in
his work.
Allan Chow is a Malaysian Chinese born landscape painter who
currently resides and owns a studio in Kansas City. His main
medium is oil on canvas. He loves sharing his interpretation
of the Kansas Flint Hills through landscape painting. Chow
paints with a palette knife, applying thick impasto in
brilliant colors found only in dreams. He can create an
extraordinary three-dimensional experience for his
audiences. During his exhibitions, viewers find it difficult
to resist the temptation to touch his paintings. Allan has
established a national following with his sophisticated
style and obvious passion for painting.
Kim Casebeer was born and raised on a family farm in Kansas.
It’s obvious that Casebeer’s deep-rooted inspiration is
pulled from the beauty of Kansas landscapes. She likes that
the simplicity of rural landscapes allow her to focus on
what’s important in a composition. Casebeer’s main
medium is oil on canvas.
Learn more about Copt, Chow, Casebeer, and 17 other
artist’s superlative work by traveling to SouthWind
Gallery (3074 SW 29th Topeka, Kansas) for a sneak peak of
the 2015 “Our Home Town” Collectors Exhibit. After being
greeted with Gary and Alex’s hospitable smiles, ask
yourself, “Which one is my favorite?”
