"Factory Series" by Mark Poteat

Currently on display through April 2013 is "Factory Series" by mark Poteat. Artist Statement: These works draw upon associations between Art History, personal experience, memories, and to the social and economic issues that reflect the area in which I live. These paintings, to me, are homages to my father who worked in a factory for 40 years and for that matter all factory workers who were and have been the economic backbone in the Carolinas, as well as across our nation during and since the post-World War II era.
