“Dangerous Drawings” by Doug McCoy will be on display July 1-31 at In-Town Gallery, "Between the Bridges" on Chattanooga’s North Shore at 26A Frazier Ave. There will be after hours reception on July 10 from 5-8 p.m.
Officials said, "July at In-Town Gallery features Doug McCoy’s Dangerous Drawings. Doug is well known for his edgy, satirical and offbeat artwork. His figurative and abstract imagery contains details and subtle references that invite the viewer into a dialogue with the image to establish its meaning."
Regarding his current show Mr.
McCoy said, “Dangerous Drawings, is a deliciously dark and satirical exhibit of acrylic and ink artwork I’ve created specifically for this installation. Each painting challenges the accepted norms of modern society while exploring it through musical and literary references.”
A native of Chattanooga, Mr. McCoy received his BA at UTC after studies in art, theater and literature. He was involved with theater and music earlier in his career, but now focuses exclusively on painting and drawing.
"However, the different forms of creativity he has pursued inform his highly individual art--rhythm in line, harmony in color, and drama in shape and subject," officials said.
Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday from 11 am.-6 p.m. and from noon-5 p.m. on Sundays. Visit them at www.intowngallery.com, Facebook and Instagram.
