Counting Vessels, M. Siri Amrit Kroesen

Dissertations and Theses

The discussion and illustration of how paintings function as thresholds is examined in the thesis report and the thesis exhibition, Threshold implies the passage of how an artist approaches the processes of seeing. The painting is the entry point, a place of connection of artist and viewer, a record of human experience transforming individual, interdependent and universal knowledge. Issues of the human body's relationship to vessels, and the metaphor that is integrated in relationship of space and proximity is explored. The significance of symbols and signs and the interplay of historical and personal imagery are examined through the precepts of …

Ephraim Rubenstein: The Rilke Series

January 28 to February 27, 1994

Marsh Art Gallery

Introduction: Rilke and Rubenstein

The first time I met Ephraim Rubenstein, some eight years ago, and looked at his early paintings I immediately sensed a powerful poetic quality coming out of his paintbrush. This ambitious exhibition not only confirms my initial feeling, but surpasses anything I could have thought of at that time. It is rare these days to find a young artist inspired, not by pop culture or the mass media, but by a classic of literature. I find it interesting and refreshing to …

Connected Painted Rectangles Experiments In Quantitative Shape And Contrasting Elements, Ann Shiogi

Dissertations and Theses

The thesis consisted of a series of paintings in which the canvases were individually painted in a predetermined way, then arranged and assembled more spontaneously in a final wall construction. Narrow limitations, such as working with only horizontal and vertical compositions and contrasting colors were specified. By working within a method or procedure, and by remaining strict to these guidelines, the ideas inherent in the paintings emerged and were then promoted.

The dominant ideas that developed out of the process of making the paintings were the use of both "found" shapes--found in leftover lengths of support material--and "found" means of …

Ray Ciarrochi: Landscapes 1978-91, University Of Richmond Museums

Exhibition Brochures

Ray Ciarrochi: Landscapes 1978-91

November 15 to December 15, 1991

Marsh Art Gallery, University of Richmond Museums

Introduction

While apparently showing us a particular place, Ray Ciarrochi's landscapes are more about the exquisite moment of being in that place. His landscapes are at once aesthetic and metaphysical, achieving a unity of viewing nature with the transcendent power of that experience. His light, color, and paint carry us into a reflective mood where nature is calm and triumphant and we stand in harmony with our environment.

This exhibition covers the artist's involvement with the landscape over a span of thirteen years, …

Voyaging: William Bennett and Elizabeth Schoyer

February 14 to March 07, 1991

Marsh Art Gallery

Introduction

For both William Bennett, sculptor, and Elizabeth Schoyer, painter, art is a voyaging: invoking, acknowledging, celebrating the forces and mysteries of life's passages.

Bennett builds up, with stone, glass, copper, lights, and wood, exquisitely crafted monumental forms: The Voyage, The Boat over Ocean over Ocean, Stigmata, Bed of Dreams, Belly Scepter among them. The titles signal the theme of quest, while axial forms draw the viewing into ritual alignment. One come to Bed of Dreams as an altar; Stigmata, part anchor and part …

Reciprocating Transformations, Joyce A. Bryerton

Dissertations and Theses

The paintings in this thesis project began with a study of various representational images, both personal and symbolic. It included the exploration of assorted media and different styles of execution in a search for imagery to represent the scope of my life experience. This search involved a method of working that excluded preconceived images. The original images evolved into an abstract state which alludes directly to the figurative and organic nature of the earlier work.

An Exploration Of Some Aspects Of Mystery, Terry Foster Thompson

Dissertations and Theses

These themes are explored through manipulations of light, color, compositional arrangement and painting and drawing techniques.
