Pbrk meets whimsy in Manning artist
Tarleton Blackwell's ''Hog Series," a
collection ot drawing and paintings that
will be on display beginning Aug. 18 at
the University of South Carolina's
McKissick Museum.
The series portrays hogs in various
human situations, with references often
made to the masterworks of art, cartoons
and fairy tales. The exhibition will be
on display through Dec. 16.
Blackwell, A USC alumnus, says the
series is related directly to the series of
works by Diego Velaquez (1599-1660),
who depicted jesters and dwarves in
King Phillip IVs court.
"Velazqeuz portrayed his subjects
as equal to their master. I have tried to
portray hogs with equal dignity and
respect while, at the same time, revealing
and sharing some of my past personal
experiences of life in the rural Southeast,"
Blackwell said.

Blackwell said his "Hog Series" ha
evolved over the past 10 years to wher
the image of the hog is secondary to th<
A! AW A^
ciuuiciu i;i loiiuxojr.
"In my earlier works, the imagei
represent hogs that I *knew personall)
and helped to raise," Blackwell said
"Gradually, I began focusing more 01
fantasy."
Often he has dealt with the classi
theme of the 'Three Little Pigs," vaiyinj
how the conflict is resolved. Sometime
the wolf is the victor, and in one of hi:
recent renditions, the wolf is the artisfi
black German Shepherd named Wolf
The exhibition also will include nev
works from his "Jazz Series" and "Tale
of the Green Dragon Series." Both serie
reflect Blackwell's long-term themes o
fantasy and humor.
"Tales of the Green Dragon Series
