Eric McRay Exhibit (April 11 - May 12, 2008)
As a young child, Eric McRay dreamed of being the greatest artist in the world. Today he is as passionate as ever.
McRay received a BFA degree at the Maryland Institute, College of Art, where he earned a four-year scholarship for his artistic talent. A native of Washington, DC, he moved to North Carolina, where he has become a major force in the NC art community.
McRay has been exhibiting in North Carolina since 1987. In November 1998, he was juried into Raleigh’s prestigious Artspace. Since opening his Artspace studio in downtown Raleigh, McRay has become one of the most exciting artists in the Triangle. Eric has served in the offices of Vice-President and President of the Artspace Artists Association, as well as served on Artspace’s board of directors.
McRay's Guiding Principle - An Artist's style is his visual language by which he communicates. Thus, Eric McRay is multilingual. Openness and exploration rather than a dedication to a particular style best characterize his work. "I believe there is no single correct pictorial solution."
Come experience the exciting variety of works that Eric McRay produces at the Chowan Arts Council Gallery. An opening reception will be held on Friday April 11 at 5:30pm.
