Ryan Palmer’s “Untitled Universe” exhibit opened in the Huber Art Center’s Brindle Student Gallery on April 14.The art on display is digital fine art prints.
Palmer majors in art and will be graduating this May.
All of his prints include typography. Palmer says he is fascinated with how “our culture is based around it and it’s everywhere.” All of the prints are abstract photos. A scratching technique was used on all of the photos.
“Even though the type is scratched out or eliminated, if you look carefully you can, for the most part, figure out what these objects are that I used for my pieces,” Palmer said.
His prints are photos of things we can see in everyday life, but we would not think of them in the way that he portrays them. The subjects in his prints include a subway sign from New York, a bank sign and a Gettysburg newsstand. Palmer’s prints are very interesting. He did not use a lot of color in his prints, but the color that is used is very saturated.
This is the last solo student exhibit of the semester and will be open until April 24. However, there will be a group exhibit display all summer in the Brindle Gallery that will include digital fine art prints from this year’s spring break trip to London, England.
The Kauffman Gallery will offer a few more exhibits, as well, and before the end of the semester, there will be two senior exhibits opening on April 21 and May 5. These exhibits will include the Senior Art Majors artwork, selected by the faculty and will include mixed media.
