Davidson College in Davidson, SC, Offers Works by Art Faculty Members
Davidson College in Davidson, SC, is presenting the 2004 Davidson College Faculty Exhibition, on view through Dec. 8, 2004.
McArthur Freeman, II is the 2004-2006 Davidson College Visiting Professor of Art. He was born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and earned his MFA in art from Cornell University. His work explores identity that utilizes both the personal and the polemical as an approach. He uses his artwork as a method of collecting the images and experiences of our culture. In this way, he views his paintings and drawings as a type of portraiture because they signify individual and cultural identity.
Old and new juxtapositions of paintings mark this new exhibition by Herb Jackson. He is renowned for his dramatic paintings that employ striking colors and intricate textures that act as excavations into the psyche. This will be a unique opportunity for viewers to compare and contrast works produced over the past thirty years.
Russ Warren continues to explore a variety of charged figures in a new series of paintings produced over the past two years. These lyrical oil paintings combine humor with Warren's unique stylistic approach to create haunting psychological portraits.
Sculptor Cort Savage, best know for his kinetic sculptures, will debut a new series of unique sculptures of seemingly minimal black spheres. In fact, each is a collection of compulsively wound rubber bands. Each sphere (approximately two feet in diameter and 75 pounds) holds a highly charged object at its core as revealed in an accompanying x-ray. These encapsulated relics of contemporary life represent controversial topics that often remain hidden from social discourse.
