On Monday, Feb. 24, a student exhibit called “The Other Side” will be opening in the Brindle Student Gallery featuring Wayne King, an art major with a concentration in graphic design who is a junior, non-traditional student.
This student exhibit consists of mixed media, but most of the pieces are sculptural. Wayne has been greatly influenced by music and his experience with it. King was in many different music groups and helped produce many shows.
He can play multiple instruments, including the saxophone and flute, and also studied Latin percussion.
Being so involved in music has helped King get in touch with his spiritual self.
“I’m looking at other cultures and their beliefs and practices as well as my own,” he said, discussing the topics of his exhibit.
King says he is very interested in the spiritual realm and whether it may or may not exist. Many of his sculptures in the exhibit deal with this question.
The exhibit will be open until March 6 in the Brindle Gallery, which is located in Room 213 in the Huber Art Center.
The exhibit “The Best of the Best: PA Art Educators,” which opened last weekend, is still on display in the Kauffman Gallery (Room 201). This exhibit includes the art work of art educators from all over Pennsylvania.
Fourteen artists are included in the exhibit including 28 pieces of art. This exhibit is mixed media, featuring includes encaustic paintings, clay and an oil painting.
It will also be open until March 6.
There are a couple more exhibits yet to be displayed this semester. There will be three more student exhibits and a student exhibition as well as two senior exhibits that will be exhibited in the Kauffman Gallery.
