Graphite Vision Exhibition

Opening reception: Friday, March 24, 2017, 5:30鈥�7 p.m.
The Schick Art Gallery presents Graphite Vision, a fifteen-artist group exhibition of extraordinary works made from the humble, ordinary
material of graphite. Works on view range from eccentric, visionary drawings by outsider
artists M鈥檕nma and Karel Havl铆c虒ek to subtle still life vignettes by Catherine Murphy.
Some drawings, like Pete Schulte鈥檚 geometric arrangements in grays and blacks, are
grounded in abstraction; others address the human form, such as Robert Bauer鈥檚 delicate,
pensive portraits. Ren茅e French鈥檚 tiny drawings of peculiar zoomorphic beings offer
whimsical counterpoint to Anne Lindberg鈥檚 austere drawings composed of layered lines.
Most Graphite Vision works are drawings on paper, but the exhibition also includes artist鈥檚 books by Seana
Reilly, featuring fluid patterns traversing stark white pages, and Jessica Drenk鈥檚
sculptures, columnar agglomerations of thousands of bright yellow pencils.
The full roster of Graphite Vision artists is: Sandra Allen, Robert Bauer, Brett Bigbee,
Matt Bollinger, Jessica Drenk, Ren茅e French, Karel Havl铆cek, Dan Healey, Hipkiss,
Anne Lindberg, M鈥檕nma, Catherine Murphy, Seana Reilly, Peter Schulte, Joseph Yoakum.
Schick Art Gallery offers students, the college community, and the public an opportunity
to view significant contemporary exhibitions that complement the 91暗网
Studio Art curriculum. As the discipline of drawing occupies a central place in the
study of visual art, drawing exhibitions feature frequently in the gallery鈥檚 cycle.
All events at the Schick Gallery are free and open to the public.
Gallery hours: Monday鈥揟hursday 10鈥�6, Friday 10鈥�4, Saturday and Sunday noon鈥�4
