Camarillo, Calif., Sept. 8, 2008—CSUCI Exhibitions gallery in Camarillo is now showing “Autographik.” a collection of digital artwork by California State University Channel Islands students.
The exhibition will continue through Friday, Oct. 3. Regular gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. CSUCI Exhibitions is located at 92 Palm Drive in Old Town Camarillo.
“Autographik.” features recent work created by current CSU/CI students and recent graduates. The images are autobiographical self portraits combining fanciful imagery with personal reflection, utilizing fine art, graphic design, and digital computer skills. The exhibition celebrates experimentation, inspiration, and, most importantly, introspection. This timely show presents the University community and Ventura County residents with the opportunity to view a thematic show of original digital artwork created by CSU/CI student artists.
Artists whose works will be featured in this exhibition include Cesar Aldana, Stacey Bullington, Amy Buchanan, Angelica Chong Taylor, Meredith Husk, Scott Kindgren, Meghan Koch, James Lau, Joel Malone, William Ngo, Jerilee Petralba, Merissa Stith, Katherine Thompson, Luke Sommer, Richard Weeks, and Jonathan Uyemori.
The show was organized and is curated by Liz King, Assistant Professor of Art and Multimedia at CSU/CI, and Alan Padley, Art Director of the Waterhouse Gallery, Santa Barbara.
“I am constantly amazed at the imagination and creativity of our students. For these projects they dug deep to portray their inner selves, resulting in a fantastic group of self-portraits,” King said.
