Embark on a journey through abstraction, impressionism, and realism at Stormwater Studios. From September 24–28, 2025, the gallery will present Something Old, Something New, a dynamic exhibition by Patrick Parise, open daily from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The opening reception will take place on Thursday, September 25, from 5:30–8:00 p.m., followed by an Artist Talk on Saturday, September 27, from 2–4 p.m.
Showcasing etchings, monoprints, sculptures, and paintings spanning nearly 50 years, this exhibition highlights Parise’s evolving creative journey—from early works like Innervisions (1974) to recent pieces such as Mystical Garden. The collection bridges traditional and contemporary styles, inviting viewers to explore vibrant intersections of texture, color, and form.
About the Artist
Born in Brooklyn, New York in 1952, Patrick Parise has lived and worked in Columbia, SC for more than five decades. Influenced early by his mother, a painter and art historian, Parise studied painting at Bethany College and printmaking under Boyd Saunders at the University of South Carolina. He went on to establish his own etching studio and later expanded into painting, sculpture, mixed media, and custom design work.
Parise’s accomplishments include solo exhibitions at Columbia galleries such as Vista Studios, City Art Gallery, and Stormwater Studios, as well as international recognition through the Saatchi Gallery’s Your Studio Competition. His work has been commissioned for both private and public projects across South Carolina, including gifts for foreign dignitaries and large-scale installations.
