Description
Within an artist’s drive to create is the instinct to repeatedly look back on past artwork, methods and practice. Through this reflective and repetitive process, new technologies and ideas are married with the artist’s experiences. The results, driven by an exploration of the past and reshaped by the application of renewed energy in the present, are often works of surprising depth and balance.
From photogravure prints combining historic and digital traditions to hand-built ceramic animals marked with decals and conceptual accessories, hints of the artistic process can be seen within the works featured throughout this exhibition. Additionally, physical evidence of the process is incorporated, with printing plates and carving tools next to etchings, and sketches near hand-made and digital prints.
Included in this exhibition are four artists who serve as faculty members in the GVSU Department of Visual & Media Arts. Each artist recently completed a sabbatical leave, which functioned as a dedicated opportunity to focus on creative exploration in their field of study. This intentional period of research and production allowed for reflection, revival and reshaping of their work.
Reflect – Revive – Reshape is open from January 14 to March 29. Gallery hours are from 10 AM to 5 PM Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday and from 10 AM to 7 PM on Thursdays. Free and open to the public.
