current exhibitions
Daniel Kornrumpf | Studies in Stillness
“Studies in Stillness”
October 2025 in the Center Gallery
The Cherokee County Arts Council welcomes Daniel Kornrumpf to the Center Gallery.
This October we are proud to present “studies in stillness” by artist Daniel Kornrumpf. The show represents an incredibly cohesive body of work- you can find common strings threading every piece in the gallery together.
Studies in Stillness brings together paintings that linger on the quiet act of observation. Figures and still lifes are rendered with close attention to presence, reflecting the discipline of looking slowly and carefully, transforming everyday forms into moments of reflection.
The exhibition highlights the artist’s commitment to direct observation, balancing intimacy and clarity across compositions that range from quiet domestic scenes to studied arrangements of objects. Together, these paintings offer viewers a sustained look at the relationships between figure, object, and space, and invite reflection on the role of stillness in contemporary painting practice.
