Opening reception: Thursday, Nov. 17, 4-6 p.m.
The University of Arizona School of Art and the Lionel Rombach Gallery are proud to present “The Place of Painting” featuring artworks of ART 380B with instructor Jonathan Marquis at the School of Art’s Lionel Rombach Gallery, November 9-22, 2022. The structure and resources of academia provide a familiar container for students to develop their artwork and individual voices, but what happens after graduation when students find themselves on their own without a place to paint?
Each student was challenged to author a series of paintings and co-develop the exhibition in preparation for the time without the structural familiarity of the studio classroom. The paintings on display represent a singular work from each series and remind us it is still a good idea to paint during a time of individual and collective uncertainty. The exhibition is testament to the will and diversity of the student artists of the University of Arizona as they for forge their way into the unknown ahead.
