Marc Chatov Workshop
Written By: Donna Rhodes | Issue: 2018/06 - June
Painters on the Plateau, rejoice. Marc Chatov, acclaimed as one of the top eight portrait painters in America, is on his way to the Carolina Gallery of Fine Art. He’ll be teaching a portrait workshop in the Gallery’s new studio space, August 3-5 from 10:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.
For those who are new to Marc’s talents, he’s been featured in numerous national publications, among them “American Art Collector,” “Fine Art Connoisseur,” “International Artist,” and “The Artist’s Magazine.” Last year he won the Best of Show award in the National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society’s “Best of America Exhibition” for his painting “Braids.”
Growing up, family influence and genetic disposition played a huge role in Marc’s romance with oils. His father, Roman, and his uncle, Constantin, both accomplished, classically trained artists, immersed him in an environment rich in culture and creativity. His mother was a model and dancer. Other family members were involved professionally in music and theater. It was destiny that the Arts sculpt his soul and pave his way to national recognition.
Students, viewers, and peers are highly impressed with his brushwork, color choices, and ability to capture the spirit of his subject. His facility for emulating the feel and luminosity of skin is absolutely magical. If you are lucky enough to take his class, get ready for one of the best workshops of your life. He is touted to be every bit as good at teaching as he is at painting.
Marc will be the featured artist at The Carolina Gallery of Fine Art through June. A reception and book signing will be held for him June 9 from 5:00 to 7:00 P.M. The public is invited.
For more information, to register for the workshop, or to hear about upcoming events, call the gallery at (828) 526-3705. The gallery is located at the corner of North Fourth Street and Carolina Way.
