Grand Hall: "Hard Won Paintings" - by Boris Zakic
Zakic's work often focuses on
the process of making art as the subject matter
of art itself, which is displayed in his current
exhibit series, “The Hard Won Paintings.”
This exhibit compares the ways in which text,
painting and photography
relate to
and inhabit the
same image without
necessarily
replicating one
another. His work
features paintbrushes
leaving
broad, painterly strokes, often spelling out
words and meanings in their subtext. Zakic is
a professor of Painting and Drawing in the Art
Department at Georgetown College.
Grand Hall: "Rediscovery" - by Sungsoo Kim
Kim
currently serves as Studio Assistant at the Jones
Visual Arts Center on the Campus of Centre
College, specializing in colorful glass and exploring
the nature of product packaging as a
source of reinvention and rediscovery.
His Grand Hall exhibit features
cast glass forms
derived from Styrofoam
packaging,
often in colorful juxtaposition
as an
exploration of the
nature of consumable
goods and
their value.
Upper Level Gallery: “People and Other Creatures" -
by Linda Leachman
Linda Leachman specializes in pastels, presenting colorful works in chalk that often focus on exotic people and places, as well as equine subjects. Her exhibit lives up to its name of “People and Other Creatures,” as the work displayed focuses on portraiture of both people and animals. Be sure to visit the upstairs Gallery, sponsored by Farmer’s National Bank, to see this local artist’s great exhibit.
Studio Two: "Woodburnings by Womack" - by Priscilla Womack
Local artist Priscilla Womack specializes in woodburning, using hot tools to make marks and tonal variations on wood. Her work is different from most woodburners in her subtle application of paint, adding color and depth to an otherwise monochromatic art. Priscilla’s work is an outstanding example of how painting has evolved beyond the canvas, brush, and pigment. Be sure to check out this unique exhibit on the second-floor in the Lockhart Studio (Studio 2).
