Middle Street Gallery exhibits Tim Carrington’s works

Middle Street Gallery is opening an exhibit by painter and journalist Tim Carrington on Friday, June 14 titled, “Rhymes and Echoes,” featuring paintings from his recent travels in the Dominican Republic as well as works from his studio in Rappahannock County. An artist’s reception is being held Friday, June 28 from 2-5 p.m. with the exhibit continuing through July 21.

Carrington’s paintings are a mix of landscapes and character explorations and are shaped by his parallel involvement in journalism and painting. His paintings recycle images from travel, memory and observation and draw on his own photographs, notes and sketches.

They don’t recreate a scene or episode so much as rhyme with it, keeping with the theme of the show. Paintings that draw heavily on memory present the echoes of a journey, where the evidence is sifted and rearranged through the filter of time.

Carrington, a writer for Foothills Forum whose work appears in the Rappahannock News and elsewhere, has worked as a writer and editor at the Wall Street Journal in New York, Washington and London. His paintings have been shown at exhibits in New York and Washington, D.C.

The gallery is open Friday through Sunday, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. It is located at 311 Main St,, in the Town of Washington. Entrance is on the lower level facing Main Street.
