Detailed works of Carl Hougton on display through March at CAC gallery
NORWICH – The Chenango Arts Council is proud to feature the work of Carl Houghton’s “Expressions in Anticipation: Building from the Detail” in its Mariea Brown and Raymond Loft Galleries from February 5 through March 4.
Chenango Arts Council administrators are extending a warmed invitation to community members to join them at the gallery opening on Friday, Feb. 5 beginning at 5:30 p.m. and continuing to 7:30 p.m. in the Galleries at 27 West Main Street, Norwich. The reception is free and open to the public.
Carl M. Houghton is a well-established regional painter, known for his fresh brush strokes and painterly canvases. Mr. Houghton has collaborated with Pulitzer Prize winning journalist John H. White to bring his black and white photography to the canvas, been critiqued favorably by American Impressionist Hall Groat, and received numerous “Best in Show” and juried awards.
Mr. Houghton has his BFA from Syracuse University and MS in Art Education from SUNY New Paltz. Retired after thirty years as a High School art teacher, he is now a full time painter, showing in hospitals, libraries, financial institutions, churches and universities throughout the region, with paintings in homes all across the United States. And he is color-blind.
“As a color blind painter, I am often asked ‘How do you do it?,” said Houghton. “The truth is a bit of a double-edged sword. My specific disability has been a source of frustration, but also a chance for me to stretch myself. My voice as an artist has come from surrendering myself to a process that focuses on balance and unity, capturing my inspiration in as few brushstrokes as possible.”
The body of Houghton’s work will be available for public viewing during the gallery's regular business hours Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
