Fresh Starts: SSU Painting Students

The University Library Art Gallery at Sonoma State University is pleased to announce an exhibition Fresh Starts: SSU Painting Students opening Thursday, November 20, 2008, and remaining on view through, Thursday, January 15, 2009. A public reception to celebrate the exhibition is scheduled for Wednesday, December 3, 4:00-6:00 p.m.
Fresh Starts features the work of students from the advanced painting class who are under the direction of Mark Perlman, Professor of Painting in the Art and Art History Department. Of the 23 students showing work, nearly half are currently accepted and participating in the B.F.A. program. Several of the students are currently seeking admission into graduate schools for next year.
One painting from each student is displayed along with an artist statement and photograph, taken by Perlman, of each student in their studio. The subject matter from each artist is as unique as the themes they are exploring. For example, Emily Hoeck’s “Sweet Servings” oil on panel depiction of a pie ignites the more than viewer’s senses. “For inspiration I simply look to indulgences and the sweet foods that people generally cannot resist,” says Hoeck.
The University Library Art Gallery is open Monday-Friday, 8 am – 5 pm; weekends, noon-5 pm. Admission is free. For more information, contact Karen Brodsky at (707) 664-4240.
