The Umstead Art Gallery
Featuring the Works of Local and National Artists
The directive of the Umstead Art Gallery is to present artwork that visually flows with the permanent art collection, aligns with our theme of art in nature and varies in medium. We look for the opportunity to surprise and delight both our guests, the local art community and collectors. Rotations happen seasonally, inviting creativity into our environment.
Dichotomies
By Frank Campion
Based in Clemmons, North Carolina, Frank Campion creates abstract work that explores the dualities of everyday life, examining the balance between order and chaos, structure and spontaneity. His compositions are built on symmetry and restraint, providing a framework in which expressive, painterly moments are free to unfold.
Campion’s connection to art began early. Growing up in New York City, regular museum visits with his mother and a formative encounter with a Jasper Johns painting at The Museum of Modern Art sparked a lifelong fascination with visual language and meaning.
In Dichotomies, opposing forces coexist across each canvas. As Campion explains, Through color, texture, and spatial ambiguity, the work invites viewers to bring their own memories, emotions, and associations into the experience.
Dichotomies is now on view through April. Artwork from the exhibition is available for purchase in The Umstead Gift Shop.
Artist Reception Details available through our Events Page below.
