UNC Asheville
in Asheville, NC, Features Works by Caitlin Rawlins
UNC
Asheville in Asheville, NC, is presenting the exhibit, The
Eyes Have It: The Reciprocating Gaze, featuring eight paintings
and mixed media pieces by UNC Asheville senior Caitlin Rawlins.
The exhibition will be on view through May 5, 2009, at UNC Asheville's
Highsmith University Union Gallery. The show is a culmination
of Rawlins' work towards a bachelor of arts degree from UNC Asheville.
Rawlins's work, influenced by Surrealist and Modern concepts, takes apart the objects of the everyday world and combines the pieces with the imagination to form new juxtapositions and multi-level symbolism. "Spurring partially from an interest in Surrealist painting, the human eye was chosen as my primary subject matter," Rawlins said. "In my painting constructions, the eye becomes the object as an entity on its own and a symbol for the artist, viewer, the reflection and the reciprocating gaze."
