DALE McENTIRE CAPTURES THE ESSENCE OF SPRING AT THE ARTISTS COLLECTIVE IN SPARTANBURG

No matter how many times we watch spring unfold and color begin to reinvigorate the landscape, the natural world keeps stirring our senses. Dale McEntire’s recent collection, on display at the Artists Collective in Spartanburg throughout March, takes a new look at this perennially popular subject, with abstract pieces that retain their foundation in the familiar.
The exhibit, called Nature Revisited, includes works in oils, pastels, stone, wood, cast glass, and steel. Also known as a sculptor, McEntire was gratified that the space in the Solomon Gallery, the largest at the Collective, allowed him to bring together sculptures and paintings, including some large-scale work.
The North Carolina native currently lives in Saluda, where he works from Red Earth Studio. He considers himself a “nature symbolist,” focused on the essential quality of nature sometimes hidden underneath the obvious form. He invites viewers to take a closer look through his abstract lens, and hopes his work allows viewers to “connect with the interrelations we have with one another and the world around us.”—Leigh Savage
Nature Revisited, March 2–27. Artists Collective, 578 W Main St, Spartanburg. artistscollectivespartanburg.org
In his vibrant landscapes and abstract canvases, Dale McEntire uses symbolism and color to express the energy and beauty of nature. “My wish is to bring a little glimpse of the profound wonder, beauty, and creativity of nature and try to honor it,” he says.
