August 11: Amiri Farris exhibition at the Coastal Discovery Museum at Honey Horn. The exhibition entitled “Heart of the Lowcountry” illustrates and exemplifies the historic lifestyles and experiences of the Sea Islands and the Gullah/Geechee American experience in the Lowcountry. Farris will transform the Discovery House of the Coastal Discovery Museum at Honey Horn into a fabulous artistic vision of color and design, blurring boundaries between traditional and contemporary modes of representation. Vibrant layers of paint and installations transform the Gallery. The bold use of color, along with designs, patterns and Adinkra symbols, let you know the painting is an original work by Amiri Farris.

Opening reception on June 26 from 5-7 p.m. and paint party with Amiri on July 2 from 10 a.m.–12 and July 19 from 10 a.m. until 12.

Amiri Geuka Farris transforms his personal visions into public displays in a flurry of brush strokes, and is carving his own niche among the noteworthy artists of the 21st century. Amiri attend Savannah College of Art and Design, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Illustration and a Master of Fine Arts in painting. His formal education solidified his undeniable natural gift. When asked about his inspiration Farris explains, “I like to see artwork that will take one medium and use it to do something else. Artwork that is bold, expressive and completely different.”

He applies this philosophy to his own art, combining unique designs and bold colors. Also apparent is an affinity for shadow effects and an interest in abstraction, while making sure he doesn’t stray too far from realistic elements. Farris is a firm believer that art should be fun. Like most artists, he is motivated by the organic need to express himself creatively, proving the mantra that success is “1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration”, Farris follows up an inspired idea with the tedious process of transforming his mental musing into a sketch. The sketch then becomes a finished drawing and, finally, a painting – then comes the “fun part.” Filling in the designs allows the artist to expound upon his original ideas, engaging in a beatific barrage of impromptu inclusions. Farris’ use of layers requires an extensive time commitment, but the results are phenomenal. Despite the long hours devoted to his creations, this consummate perfectionist has yet to complete a piece with which he is totally satisfied. His meticulous eye focuses not only on the stunning creation but on the details that could be added to make it better. His ever-increasing fan base speaks to the appeal of his work. Original pieces consistently sell for $1,000 to $20,000.

Farris’ thriving career and loyal following have created a high demand for his work. He has a steady influx of art show invitations, was the recipient of the prestigious “Emerging Artist Award” from the historic Penn Center and received a preservation co-award from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and his work is also exhibited internationally. In the meantime, he will continue to produce paintings that he hopes change common views about the modern world. His views parallel those of his inspirational role models which include Romare Bearden, Yinka Shonibare and Keith Haring. “Yes, they were artists, yet they were also involved in their communities and very politically active.” Farris notes. “They created art to change people’s views about the world. I want to do the same thing.”

Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. 70 Honey Horn Dr. (843) 689-6767 or coastaldiscovery.org.
