Resume: Edward Rice

Edward Rice, b.1953 is a past recipient of a South Carolina Arts Commission Artist Fellowship and a National Endowment for the Arts / Southern Arts Federation Regional Fellowship. His paintings have been included in exhibitions at Babcock Galleries, New York, Gerald Peters Gallery, Santa Fe, Heath Gallery, Atlanta, among others. His work is included in the collections of the Gibbes Museum of Art, the Columbia Museum of Art, the South Carolina State Museum, the Greenville County Museum of Art, the Georgia Museum of Art, the Morris Museum of Art and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art.

"The architectural paintings of Edward Rice are carefully rendered evocations of place, born of close familiarity and intense study. Informed by the continued absorption of outside influences, yet following his own self motivated path, Rice's work matured during the reemergence of a vigorous school of American realist painting. Although the development of the new realism made the critical climate more receptive to realist painting, Rice's anachronistic realism was largely untouched by the conceptual element of late modern art; it also lacked the irony, revivalism and media conciousness associated with Postmodernism."
- David Houston, Chief Curator, The Ogdon Museum of Southern Art, New Orleans, LA
