This lovely painting, entitled Cornerstones, hangs on the 3rd floor of Tanger Center. It is a work by Isaac Payne, commissioned by Lauren and David Worth. It is a mixed media piece consisting of oil paint, ink, pastel, conte, charcoal, cotton rag paper, glue, acrylic polymer, rock and brick fragments, broken thumb tack, and varnish on birch plywood. This is only a part of the piece which is at least 5' x 10' (best guess). The colors are so vibrant and the more you look at it, the more you notice. It is a panoramic view from the 500 block of South Elm Street, looking north. In the foreground, you see Hamburger Square, in the background, the Lincoln Financial building.
While Isaac Payne grew up in Tacoma, Washington, he lives and works in Charlotte, NC. He has such a talent for capturing the feeling of the places he paints. We are lucky to have this one. Thank you to the Worths for commissioning the piece and for having it on display at the Tanger Center. It would be so fabulous to sit and watch Mr. Payne work his magic with all of those different art supplies and colors.
It stands out well!
