Schmidt Art Center: Thursday, 28 August 2008
RECEPTION Thursday, August 28, 6 - 8 p.m.
This exhibition continues through October 4.
New paintings by Charles Schwall continue his explorations of human anatomy and biological function. Through careful buildup of oil on canvas, vellum, and linen, Schwall creates individual biosystems that achieve and maintain homeostasis--perfect equilibriums of color and form.
View Schwall's "Efflorescence" and "With Hold, With Out" series in the Marsh Gallery with new works by Edwardsville artist Jason Urban. Invoking pop culture with hints of nostalgia, Urban's "Bearded" paintings are literally optical illusions depicting Chewbacca, Teen Wolf, Chuck Norris, and other hairy icons. To achieve visual distortion, Urban amplifies images through Moire patterns, stripes, and modular units with dizzying precision.
The William and Florence Schmidt Art Center is located on the Belleville Campus of Southwestern Illinois College. Exhibitions and events are free and open to the public, unless otherwise noted. HOURS Tuesday - Saturday 11 a.m. - 5 p.m., Thursday 11 a.m. - 8 p.m., Closed Sunday, Monday, and school holidays. Call 618-222-5278 for more information.
