Gallery

A black and white ink drawing depicting an androgynous nude body curled up asleep next to a large, gnarled tree. Two giant cicadas are perched on the figure. The foreground is made up of tall grasses, with chrysanthemums growing up among them. Fallen apples dot the landscape, and a forest recedes into the background. The mood is peaceful yet ominous with a dark border on the top and bottom that contains fish skeletons in the center. The left and right borders resemble recessed cabinets, each with a pair of hands slicing an apple in the center, as well as a vase with a chrysanthemum and an exposed light bulb hanging from a wire. The borders are the same subjects, but drawn as inverses to each other.

The high contrast between the white house and dark trees adds visual interest.

A set of prints depicting a living room in an apartment. The continuous scene is severed into nine sections.

These distortions create a sense of surreality and mystery in what would otherwise be a mundane scene.

Undergraduate Ruth Marks: Living Room c. 2009

Undergraduate Ben Michalsky: Profilo Continuo (Testa d'il Dunce)

Undergraduate Abby Moschel: THIC (This Isn't Chocolate)

Undergraduate Victoria Selektor: Warrior's Garb

A rabbit in sterile clothing, who looks like a parent, is looking down with a weary and pitiful gesture at a small mouse sitting on a hospital bed right next to rabbits, wearing a mask and patient gown, with earphones plugged into a digital device that mouse was focusing on. A sign on the hospital bed where the mouse is sitting reads “Leukémyš” in small letters, and further below with a description of the mouse. Behind this are depictions of essential equipment in a hospital room, and all figures in the room were surrounded by a curtain in the hospital room. Behind the curtain, a girl with black hair and wearing a doctor’s coat watches from afar, seemingly detached from them, with her back to the viewer were drawn in an sensational, yet deep emotion of colors on the hard paper board.

Undergraduate Kyeongwon Seo: Leukémyš

The upper bodies of two little boys, about four years old, standing right next to each other laughing completely fills the frame of this acrylic painting. The boy on the left has dark brown hair with stark highlights and his face is tilted towards his left while he wears a vibrant red jacket with a black stripe going along both sleeves and has his right hand half raised in an L shape. The boy to the right looks down and slightly towards his left while wearing a loose white sweatshirt and seems to be standing slightly behind his friend. There is a sharp light being cast onto the both of them, like the flash of a camera, that illuminates the lightest wrinkles of their clothes and skin and contrasts the darkest parts of their shadows and hair. Each brush stroke varies in size and shape and is clearly visible in a way that simplifies every light and shadow and creates an impressionistic style.

Undergraduate Samridhi Sharma: You Were a Child

A hooded figure appears on a bridge, illuminated by a lamplight in a dark, inky alley.

Undergraduate Janet Shasha: Ink

Two ceramic sculptures, one representing an older version of a person, and the other representing the younger version.

The other pages are folded slightly inwards, not fully visible.

Undergraduate Grace Sirman: The Circle of an Ill Life

A sculpture of a man's bust is constructed entirely of recycled cardboard. The head is detailed and on top of it are industrial structure, some gears, wheels, pipes, also made out of cardboard that blend seamlessly into the organic face. The cardboard makes up the face by hundreds of verticle cross sections, glued together, mostly brown, though some add streaks of black, blue, or orange. Overall the piece evokes a sense of reflection. The face is expressionless.

Undergraduate Oliver St Cyr: Portrait of My Consumption

A large colorful painting consisting of 4 panels all with the colors of ultramarine blue, yellow orange, magenta pink and lime green. There are 2 main panels that are cut into swirly pieces. One is in the shape of a “splat” while the other is more abstract. Two colorful arms extending from the bases. One green loop extends from the top right of the painting coming up and around towards the center overlapping the main pannel. The second arm is on the bottom right curling down and back up pointing towards the center, again overlapping the main pannel. The imagery is galactic, with a Baroque pattern in the background of the two main panels. There are 3 fractals of different sizes, all consisting of different imagery, one at the bottom with blue linear patterns that emphasize the negative space, one in the middle left that has radial pink extending from it, and the third is on the top right surrounded by dots that seem like they are floating but do not have a place in space.

Undergraduate Ieva Surantas: Indeterminacy of infinity

Undergraduate Maddie Vassalo: Iphis and Ianthe

A three-page comic titled “Red Caps,” written by Maggie Watson, inspired by “Little Red Cap” recorded by the Brothers Grimm. The comic is drawn in black ink on white paper. Page one shows a close-up on a wolf’s eyes, with the words, “These woods were mine.” Figures are shown walking along a wooded path, as the wolf narrates, “Sometimes humans came to walk the path. But they did not bother me, and I did not bother them, until…” Page two continues with “They left the path.” Images of human feet in boots, a worker in a hard hat, and a bulldozer show the human encroachment into the woods. The wolf describes these images as, “They wore red caps; they brought machines with big eyes and big teeth; and came to make the woods their own.” The page ends on a fallen tree. Page three shows a sequence of images of human destruction—chainsaws and construction vehicles cutting through trees, leaving only stumps and piles of dirt behind. From the shadows of the remaining woods, the wolf watches, and says, “The humans think they have won. But they forget—these woods are mine.” The final panel is a dramatic image of the wolf’s snarling face, with the words, “And I have big teeth too.”

Undergraduate Maggie Watson: Red Caps

A large pastel drawing of a red-haired woman wearing a white bra and black shorts with her curly hair in a bun. She is seated, but what she is sitting on is not shown. Their right hand (on the left side of the portrait) covers their mouth with her elbow raised slightly above the hand. His left hand (right side of the portrait) rests on the top of his thigh with the elbow facing outward. Her right leg is folded up against her body with her right foot resting next to her opposing knee. Her face is in shadow, but we can clearly see her features. They defiantly look out at the viewer from a raised angle. The colors are warm and the texture is soft.

Undergraduate Veronica Weinberg: Speak No Evil

For this piece, I wanted to create an anatomically correct sculpture of a heart, that could still have the functionality of a vase. The heart being symbolic to being the source of the flowers life. I find interest in hearts and anatomy. So when making this, I made sure that the valve placement was correct, along with other details raised from the surface to create a realistic effect.

Undergraduate Sarah Westrick: Heart of Roses

Undergraduate Subin Yang: "곽정순" (Jeong Soon Kwak)

A luminous and thickly built up green strip separates two symmetrical gate-like panels. The strip functions as a liminal moment in which we as viewers are held in the possibilities of some other place. The layering of recognizable imagery/symbols such as '731', a key lock, a cell window, the letter R, and speckled yellow light which resembles the curve of a shoulder, serve to disrupt the symmetry of the rest of the composition. Due to the haziness of the paint application, there’s an elusiveness involved in the act of looking. Based on the orientation/proximity of the viewer to the piece surface textures flicker in and out of view.

Ieva Surantas: Indeterminacy of infinity
$A large colorful painting consisting of 4 panels all with the colors of ultramarine blue, yellow orange, magenta pink and lime green. There are 2 main panels that are cut into swirly pieces. One is in the shape of a “splat” while the other is more abstract. Two colorful arms extending from the bases. One green loop extends from the top right of the painting coming up and around towards the center overlapping the main pannel. The second arm is on the bottom right curling down and back up pointing towards the center, again overlapping the main pannel. The imagery is galactic, with a Baroque pattern in the background of the two main panels. There are 3 fractals of different sizes, all consisting of different imagery, one at the bottom with blue linear patterns that emphasize the negative space, one in the middle left that has radial pink extending from it, and the third is on the top right surrounded by dots that seem like they are floating but do not have a place in space.$
