Local artist David Boatwright, known for his iconic murals around Charleston, is bringing his storytelling to life in a bold new way.
His latest exhibit — “That’s ALL Folks!” — is now on display at the Aiken-Rhett House Museum through Monday, Nov. 11. This temporary installation features 13 original acrylic paintings, many of which are inspired by the rich + complex history of the circa 1820s property.
“Most of the subjects in these paintings start off with images of the family portraits or artworks, both sculpture and paintings, that were owned by the Aiken family,” David said.
Each contemporary work of art is thoughtfully placed within the preserved “as-found” spaces of the Aiken-Rhett House Museum, creating a striking contrast that enhances the mansion’s historic charm.
This fall, guests can experience Boatwright’s art and the Aiken-Rhett House Museum in a whole new light. Bonus: Admission to the exhibit is included with your house museum ticket.
