JUN: Sketchbook featuring an exhibition of paintings by renowned architect and watercolor artist George Acock inspired by his travels across the U.S. and to countries abroad spanning a ten-year frame. Acock solicits the mystery and romance of strange and beautiful environments as reflected through the people, architecture and landscape. Often, work is sketched and painted on location under the watchful eye of the subjects themselves or a gathering crowd of locals. Other times, an onsite sketch is created by Acock, who later revisits the work in his studio, where he resolves his painting. On a trip or sitting at a local restaurant, his sketchbook is omnipresent. Acock's passion for watercolor commenced at the early age of five. His mother, a schoolteacher, encouraged him by providing all the necessary paints, brushes and paper. George's father, an engineer, added math and science to his skills that later led to his decision to study architecture. His architecture has received many awards and acknowledgements and his watercolors have been exhibited since the early ‘80s. George is a graduate of Ohio State University. After graduation, Acock founded his own design firm four years later in 1967, Acock Associates. He works and resides in Columbus with his wife, Deb, and their two black Labradors, Sammy and Max. www.mahangallery.com
