The strength and diversity of SUNY Fredonia鈥檚 degree programs in visual arts and new media听is revealed in the听current Art Gallery exhibit听in the Rockefeller Arts Center. Entitled, 鈥淭he Fredonia Showcase,鈥 the show will remain in the gallery through Sunday, Feb. 11, featuring an outstanding array of student work from degree programs offered through the Department of Visual Arts and New Media.
A total of 16 faculty members have selected the best examples of works completed by students in their studio classes--ranging from graphic design and ceramics to illustration and photography.
From the illustration and animation studio, Professor Jill Johnston-Price has submitted a student鈥檚 illustrations relating to the novel by Richard Adams, 鈥淲atership Down.鈥 Several student posters from graphic design professor Janet Conradi are included. One, by recent graduate Xueyin Chen, entitled 鈥淒eath by Tomato,鈥 was selected for the SUNY Student Art Exhibition in Albany. It depicts a humorous yet serious history lesson about tomatoes. Another poster depicts the more serious topic of book burning.
Alberto Rey has submitted a student鈥檚 work with charcoal, a large piece which depicts, using a balance of both detail and swift, painterly lines, an emotion of someone nearing the end of their life.
鈥淭he pieces showcase the department鈥檚 strong arts program,鈥 Amy Gawronski, Art Gallery Coordinator, said.
The gallery is open Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 2 to 6 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 2 to 8 p.m.
