Gallery

At the forefront of the image is the backside of a man of color as he walks into the pantheon–a large architectural monument in Paris. The man is wearing artsy street clothes; an oversized white t-shirt with the words “PUNK NEVER DIES” written in bold red letters across the back; a collared long sleeve shirt under the t-shirt; blue and black baggy patchwork jeans with the words “TODAY” and “FUKK THEM” written in different spots and a pop-art image of a woman in another spot; a blue baseball cap with large headphones atop. The pantheon in the background is only partially painted on the right side with columns and sculptures but the rest is a simple pencil-sketch with a faint beige wash. The man highly contrasts the Pantheon and yet he looks calm and powerful in the space and the unfinished background leaves the viewer wondering what he’s there for.

Undergraduate Jessica Allen: PUNK NEVER DIES

The image is in tones of pale blue, similar to the color of denim. The image depicts a feminine presenting person staring into the camera. They have multiple different features across their face including multiple eyes, multiple noses, and multiple mouths. The facial features are in different expressions with smiles, closed mouths, open mouths and noses in different positions. They seem to be making different expressions but disjointed from the rest of the face.

Undergraduate Allena Arteaga: Many Faces

The canvas stands four feet tall with a gray tainted pink top layer of paint. Beneath the pink layer, are underlayers of piercing blood reds, black, and orange that are revealed by violent scrapes in vertical and horizontal motions across the greater area of the canvas. There is a black mass that is almost cloud-like off-centered to the left of the painting. Surrounding it are the vertical blood red scrapes. The painting suggests elements of omitting a part of self, but later uncovering this with the painful reveal by scraping away the pink paint to reveal the red flesh like under layer.

Undergraduate Ayanna Bell: A DAUGHTER'S FIRST HEARTBREAK

This is an image of one of the frames in the animation piece. In this image/scene, the alien-ghost-like character is laying down on the ground in his bedroom, spacing out. The room is slightly messy, yet comforting and warm. In the room there are things such as a stack of books, a green carpet, wood floor, record player, cassette tapes, the character’s bed, a star garland, posters, and a bookcase. There are windows that allow the viewer to see that it's dark outside and raining.

Undergraduate Sophia Bentley: Moments in Between

The image depicts a woven reproduction of Frida Kahlo's my birth. This image has been stretched and distorted. A woman lays on a bed centered in the middle of room, her upper body is hidden under sheets, while her exposed lower body shows this woman giving birth to the fully grown head of Frida Kahlo. The head enters this strange world in a small puddle of blood.

Undergraduate Anna Boden: My Birth

Undergraduate Amanda Brodzik: Da Vinci Reverie

Undergraduate David Byun: Napping Wheel-Chair

In the first print on the left, a man is in an apple orchard where he is in the process of reaching for an apple while standing on a ladder. As he reaches for an apple, his hand is completely skeletal and from behind his spine is completely visible. The apples are red while the rest of the image is black and white. In the second print on the top right, a skeleton is laying in bed while his organs are splayed out in front of him. To the left of him he watches his children facing the viewer. Notably his heart is larger and more prominent than his other organs. Apples lay intertwined with his organs. Again the apples are red while the rest of the image is black and white. The final print on the bottom right depicts skeletons walking down an elevated bridge. Each one carrying an Earth on their back struggling to carry the weight. Each Earth they carry has an apple placed on top and red in color while the rest of the image is black and white.

Undergraduate Salvador Cervantes: ¿Valio la pena mi muerte? (Was my death worth it?)

Three skateboards hung on a wall, featuring a collage of different paintings, receipts and tickets stuck to their surfaces. The boards are all different shades of green, and feature a rabbit running across them with a pink wave of color splashing the background. To the left, a hand holds a gun. Below, three fish skeletons line the bottom of the boards.

Undergraduate Dylan Chen: Rabbit Hole

Undergraduate Irene Chung: Chonky

This image shows three 16" x 20" canvases arranged horizontally on a white wall. The first canvas depicts a girl with brown hair wearing all black painting on an easel. She is standing in a field, with a water towere behind her, and a red tractor behind her in the distance. There is a storm rolling in. The second canvas depicts the same brown haired girl working behind the counter as a cashier. The exit doors of the store are directly in front of the viewer, and there is an easel in the middle of the room. A can vas has fallen off of the easel, and the canvas is face down on the floor. The thirs painting depicts the girl in a small room with one window, you cannot see outside. She is sitting at a wooden dining table, and there are bills piling up on the table and falling on to the floor. There is an empty chair at the end of the table, and there is a blue liquor bottle and an ashtray on the table. There is a mirror and a blank canvas on the wall behind the girl.The wall to her right side is covered in crosses of varying shapes and sizes.

Undergraduate Gillian Donoghue: I Crave Permanence

Six Palestinian children of varying ages standing defiantly atop rubble. A rifle scope is pointed at them. Above the children, two hands are shaking: a hand with the United States flag on its sleeve and another with the Israeli flag on its sleeve. Blood dripping down their hands and onto the rubble behind the children. In front of the children, an injured elderly man is prostrated on the ground, praying. Another man screams into the air, tears running down his face. To the right of the man, a frightened woman flees.

Undergraduate Kate Gendruschke: I See Myself in the Reflection of Your Eyes, Lover

This image shows Skógafoss, a well-known waterfall in Iceland, during winter. The waterfall is in full flow, with water forcefully descending into the river below. Snow and ice partially cover the surrounding cliffs and ground, indicating cold weather conditions. The contrast between the white snow and the dark rocks creates a dramatic natural scene.

Undergraduate Boya (Selina) Gong: To Capture Time - Titanfall

A painting showing a white woman laying down with a pillow under her head, and two orange cushions on either side of her body. She is wearing a blue shirt and her brown hair is splayed across the pillow. One arm lays next to her head, and the other is held above her chest. Her eyes are looking to the side.

Undergraduate Maria Isho: Never, Forever (2023)

there are two feminine figures intertwined on four conjoined canvases. both are rosey in color tone, but one side has a more realistic value scale on the left while the other is inverted on the right - the inverted woman is laying her head in the other's shoulder. the woman on the left is emphasized as the canvas has been cut to follow the lines of her form, the woman on the right is behind a grid of scaled up skin cells. unseen by a singular image, you can use a uv flashlight to expose the hidden veins and skeletons within each figure.

Undergraduate Ikalanni Jahi: under the microscope

In this image, a table is featured with a smooth, varnished top that has an engraved depiction of Baba Yaga's house. The table is supported by three legs, resembling chicken feet in a walking motion. These legs are constructed using 3D fibers and give the impression of a steel texture. The overall piece exudes the tactile sense of an antique furniture item, offering a blend of artistic design and textural richness.

Undergraduate Laura Jhirad: Baba Yaga's Heirloom

Undergraduate Julian Kane: Lester & Lee

The image displayed is a linocut print depicting a watery bog-like landscape in vibrant, natural, cool colors. There are two small children crouching down by the water, appearing focused on something happening in the water, that are the focal point of the scene which is surrounded by trees and rocks. There are blurry reflections cast by all of the objects onto the water including the children whose reflections appear to be older versions of the children.

Undergraduate Hava Liebowitz: Ein Sof Tapestry

This image is the front cover of my children's book "How Much Stuff is Enough?". It shows a squirrel holding onto a strawberry, feeling and looking a bit confused. In the background depicts a fruitful acorn tree and strawberry bush. The squirrel is seen to be having some sort of internal conflict with itself about taking more/less for themselves. The colors are bright and the font is fun, making the image still look fit for a child.

Undergraduate Elaine Liu: How Much Stuff is Enough?

Sharp light illuminates a boxer. He grins, shirtless, with orange shorts, standing at the center of an olive-green boxing ring. He looms over his fallen opponent who is sprawled out, shirtless and with red shorts, face down on the ground before him. The pink ropes of the ring converge, out of sight, behind the boxer. A monochrome audience painted in shades of blue loom over the scene. Situated outside of the perspective of the fight, the audience members stack on top of one another, filling the space behind the scene. Some smile, others look away, but most are indifferent to the action before them. The spectators are faces ephemeral, perhaps attendees of a boxing match, perhaps memories of the past.

Undergraduate Benjamin Michalsky: I am leaving, I am leaving

The image shows a woman body being held by many hands and not able to have control over her own body. On the back there's many babies inside the cut out fish corpse showing how they are treated as flesh instead of human being. I chose to use the sketching technique because the coarse line stroke adds to the aggressiveness and violence in the piece.

Undergraduate Fulin Niu: Her Body

The image depicts multiple iterations of the artist's naked body morphed and twisted together, blooming from some mushrooms. The many versions of the artist look and reach longingly for the horizon, as if yearning for liberation from the rot and fungi. The lines are brown and covered by a gradation of yellow ochre and burnt umber, with some spots strategically left uncovered by the colored ink, showing the uniqueness of the print having used an imperfect roller.

Undergraduate Ofelia Núñez-Regueiro: Life Feeds on Life

Undergraduate Elsa Olander: Worth More Than Their Heads

The primary image depicts two color relief prints of cars on suburban streets. The print on the left shows a car at twilight, with its headlights blazing a trail in front of it in a sharp blue and its glowing tail lights illuminating the street behind it in red. Green trees loom out of the silky midnight blue sky in sharp relief and violet flower petals fall gracefully on the waiting car and the street around it. The print on the right shows parked cars at dawn, the exact moment before the sun has come up over the horizon when the sky is a fierce blend of pink and purple, seemingly pushing the blue of the night sky out of the frame. A street light, still on from the night before, illuminates the picture in a stark yellow, exaggerating the shadows of the trees and nearby houses and revealing recently fallen leaves.

Undergraduate Annabel Paul: Sasquatch and Bigfoot Diptych

The image shows a large lemon with a face that consists of two uneven eyes and large lips. The lemon is attached to a skin colored neck and a shirt. Scattered across the page are two smaller yellow lemons. One only has lips, and another only has a purple eye. In the top left corner is a purple lemon with lips and you can see the bottom of another purple lemon that gets cut off by the canvas.

Undergraduate Allison Payne: Lemon Head

This painting shows a Chinese opera moment, mixing the lively performance with the meaningful beauty of cranes. The main character, decked out in a detailed opera outfit, is frozen mid-action. In the midst of the lively scene, graceful cranes glide through the air, their wings stretched out in a graceful dance.

Undergraduate Angela Peng: Dancing with the Cranes

Undergraduate Paulina Pérez Balderrama: Fragments of Connection: A Mosaic of Meaningful Relationships

This is a photo of a ceramic sculpture of a torso from the waist to the neck, with no head or arms. The surface of the figure is smooth but the breasts have a rough texture showing the coils the piece was made from. The figure is tan and peach colored, with a print of a body pressed onto the piece in blue, as though someone covered their body with blue paint and hugged the figure.

Undergraduate Jay Petrowski: This is Not a Female Torso

Undergraduate Naomi Rodriguez: chains & linkes.

Three 10x10 photographs of the same makeup look styled in three different ways displayed side by side. All photographs are headshots taken of the same model.

The first photo displayed on the left is styled with brown slicked back hair and a suit and tie. The middle photgraph is styled with a green bunny hat and a ruffled clown collar. The third photo displayed on the right is styled with a blonde wavy wig, a pearl necklace, and white off the shoulder dress.

Undergraduate Chloe Sapp: Mask 2 Fem

In this piece bold red flowing lines portray movement, and forms when you back up it is hard to make out anything representational, But as you walk inwards the story reveals itself. The background is a white tone, and the lines making up the piece are all flowing in different bold directions. The piece is cropeed to suggest that there is more of this pattern to be seen outside of the frame.

Undergraduate Isabella Schneider: An Eternity Spent

Dancer, Chloe Chandler, in a pose by holding a tree branch framed in a frame. A large tree trunk is in the foreground, and it's branches spread over the landscape. There are multiple figure drawings by visual artist, Jake Schraga, placed within the branches of the trees.

Undergraduate Jake Schraga: (im)permanent birth

This lithograph print features a portrait of a young woman centered on the page gazing her head slightly above. A garment is covering her head and is covered in a delicate and intricate pattern. The woman has tears streaming from her eyes and a spear through her heart. Her expression is of both anguish and pleasure. The figure is crowned by a white halo and the entire image is framed in a dark crimson red.

Portrait of a person crying into their hands

Undergraduate Divya Shankar: In Color

Quintana sitting on the floor while wearing the MoonWatcher Cape

Undergraduate Saima Siddiqui: MoonWatcher Cape

This image articulates the feelings of isolation and insanity one gets while having an anxiety attack in situations that appear to be “normal" or “common”. Within the composition is an image of a female sitting on a sandbank in the ocean with her legs crossed. Her facial expression depicts she is in distress as she is screaming and pulling her hair from her scalp. Fish and other sea creatures swim below the water around the woman and begin to float out of the water in bubbles. In the distance you can see a small sailboat on calm waters and a clear blue sky with few clouds.

Undergraduate Brianna Sorkin: We’re Fine But You Appear To Be Sinking

A line art of a face with glasses and the text self portrait above and below

Undergraduate Martha Sprout: Self Portrait

“A Day in the Life of a Painter” consists of 3 16”x20” canvases presented adjacent to each other in a horizontal line. The first canvas shows a full cup of coffee in the lower right corner, with puffs of yelllow and pink steam billowing vertically across the piece. In the top left is a blank pale yellow “canvas” waiting to be decorated. Dissecting the piece from the bottom left corner is a spoon bearing the artist’s reflection as she contemplates what to paint. The second canvas is very similar to the first, except now the mug in the bottom left is no longer steaming, and some coffee has been drank. The blank canvas from before now instead shows a copy of the first painting in the set. The final painting is essentially a painting of a painting of a painting. The coffee mug is now completely empty and an expression of awe and excitement from the artist is reflected on the spoon. The canvas in the top left corner once again copies the painting that came before it, except it is unfinished to show that the artist is still working. Across all three paintings, there is a pale yellow grid over a turquoise background. The intersection and various directions of pale lines further challenge the viewer, cultivating in an optical experience as chaotic as the mind of an artist.

Undergraduate Jaelynn Sviglin-Krell: Self Portrait

Black and white linoleum relief print of a mountain goat scaling a very sheer cliff. The artist plays with different carving techniques to capture various textures within the fur of the mountain goat and the rocks. The piece is playful while also indicating to the impressiveness of the mountain goat.

Undergraduate Ana Swanson: Gavin the Goat

A portrait with hands drawn in charcoal holding up a piece of real floss. Then placed on a 3 foot diameter piece of wood, painted bright red.

Undergraduate Natalie Thornton: Blindfold

In this shot the male Victoria's riflebird is perched on a tall tree with a dense jungle framing him. He is looking in the direction of where the female riflebird flew off to. The title "The Dance" is displayed on the far left side. In this moment, the riflebird recognizes that despite thinking his dance was good, it wasn't good enough. But that doesn't deter him, as this wasn't the one that got away but rather just the one that wasn't right for him.

Undergraduate Kara Vaka: The Dance (Stamps Short Film 2023)

An image showing the two looks in the collection. On top is a woman dressed in a white button up covered in UFOS with jeans laser engraved with images of conspiracy theories. On the bottom is a woman dressed in a leather top molded to look like a female torso and a denim skirt printed with images of UFOs.

Undergraduate Maddie Vassalo: The Conspiracy Collection

This oil painting, dating back to the late 1880s, depicts a weathered United States passport. The portrayal suggests a well-used document, marked by tears and discoloration. To the right, a distorted black-and-white image of a woman's face appears, seemingly melting off the canvas. On the left, the United States seal is presented in striking red, accompanied by the woman's signature intricately embroidered with red embroidery floss.

Undergraduate Aryn Weil: What if?

Undergraduate Preston Williams: Moved Around

Picture of a yellow cart with participants standing in front

Undergraduate Yuchen Wu: UrMug

The image above features a plaster sculpture that resembles a human body melting and merging with a chair. The body itself is limbless, white, and resembles a shell that is held up by a network of ropes integrated within the cavities of the body to the corner of the frame. It features chains and plaster-covered fallen tissue that resembles the dissolution of the entity depicted within the image.
