Jan. 27, 2020 - When witnessing any work of art, what the viewer sees is merely the tip of the iceberg. Many processes to create the work continue to exist out of view, just as the iceberg exists deeply below the water’s surface. The artist’s concepts, vision, trajectory, and in some bodies of work-personal history; or perhaps all of these at once-are present and contained within the work.
Below the Surface: An Exploration of Process will examine the ways artists process their experience(s) that lead to creative art. The exhibit will run from Jan. 28 through Feb. 20. Please join us for our closing reception on Thursday, Feb. 20 from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Broome Library Gallery.
Featuring the works of Professor Emeritus Jack Reilly, Tarrah Krajnak, Cathy Weiss, Richard Bruland and Professor Mick Reinman, this exhibition entertains multiple notions of process, with the purpose to lay bare various individual creative paths, as well as the forces which motivated them, hoping to inspire, to enrich, and to enlighten viewers to the artist’s reality: that various works are the result of many layers of contemplation and experience over time.
