Winthrop University
in Rock Hill, SC, Offers Works by Faculty & Paul Martyka
Winthrop University
in Rock Hill, SC, is offering a glimpse of the many diverse talents
of the fine art and design faculty, all practicing artists and
designers as well as educators, in the exhibit, Fine Arts and
Design Faculty Exhibition, on view in the Rutledge Gallery
through Jan. 14, 2010, and Conversations with an Echo,
an exhibition by Paul Martyka, associate professor of fine arts,
on view in the Elizabeth Dunlap Patrick Gallery through Jan. 14,
2010.
"It is always exciting to bring together this talented group
of artists and designers. The Faculty Exhibition is an
opportunity to truly share the strength and range of talent of
our faculty as a whole and showcase the creativity they bring
to Winthrop students as their work gathers in one space,"
said Karen Derksen, assistant director of the Winthrop University
Galleries.
This year's group faculty exhibition opening in the Rutledge Gallery will feature artwork created by faculty from the Department of Fine Arts and the Department of Design in a variety of disciplines including ceramics, photography, painting, drawing, sculpture and wearable art. The 19 talented artists and designers showcased include: Dave Brown, Kathleen Burke, Shaun Cassidy, Jim Connell, Patrick Deibel, Laura Gardner, Tom Garner, Mike Goetz, Mark Hamilton, Mike Lavine, Doug McAbee, Marge Loudon Moody, Phil Moody, Janice Mueller, Jenny Zito Payne, Seth Rouser, Seymour Simmons, Tom Stanley and Courtney Starrett.
Opening in the Patrick Gallery is an exhibition by Paul Martyka, the fourth recipient of the Elizabeth Dunlap Patrick Faculty Grant. This grant was established to further new work, research or collaboration by faculty culminating in an exhibition project in the Patrick Gallery. Martyka's exhibition, Conversations with an Echo, focuses on his exploration of hand-printed cut paper collages. In the intricate details of this work, Martyka references cultural identities or art historical pieces as inspiration for color and form.
