In “Private Domain,” the current exhibition of paintings and fabric creations by North Carolina artist Virginia Derryberry, arresting faces draw you in, and beautiful spaces are defined and then disrupted.
With tricks of light and juxtapositions of abstraction and realism, her images become, as the artist puts it, “a virtual shifting world where nothing is quite what it seems.”
“Private Domain” is now on view at the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art through Dec. 17.
In this interview, “City Lights” managing producer Kim Drobes speaks with Derryberry about her collection of work currently on view.
“I want each of those separate panels to function as its own composition, to function as a stand-alone painting, but I also want it to feel like it’s a part of the overall,” Derryberry says.
