Artist: Bill Buggel | Location: Hollywood, SC
Hollywood, SC
Born and raised in Columbia, SC, Bill Buggel studied Art at the University of South Carolina, graduating in 1967. At USC, he studied under Ed Yaghjian, Augusta Wittkowsky, Catherine Rembert, Boyd Saunders and John O'Neil. J. Bardin also contributed to his art education. Since college, he has incorporated the beautiful red clay of South Carolina into his work. After moving to Charleston, SC, to become the Assistant Director of the Gibbes Museum of Art, the medium moved to gray marsh sand more representational of the Lowcountry. Throughout his career, as one of the foremost abstract expressionist painters in the state, he has always been involved with interpreting the landscape, using techniques like flashes of color running together like a strip of film. Seeing static forms from a moving platform form the basis for many of his paintings.
