Guilford College Art Gallery in Greensboro, NC, Presents Art Faculty Exhibition
The Guilford College Art Gallery will present recent works by Art Department faculty in a biennial exhibition through Dec. 15.
The artists will be exhibiting a range of media including painting, wood sculpture, photography, printmaking and ceramics. A series of weekly lunchtime talks with the artists will be held from 12:15 to 1pm in the Art Gallery on Weds. throughout the duration of the exhibition. Those interested in attending may bring their lunch or enjoy light refreshments provided by the gallery. Both the exhibition and the discussions offer opportunities to consider new developments in the work of these artists and to become acquainted with art faculty members.
Faculty exhibitors are:
Susan Mullally Clark (photography). Gallery talk: Dec. 1.
Known for her portraits of artists, and a book of her photographs, Hope & Dignity: Older Black Women of the South (Temple University Press), Clark joined the Guilford faculty in 1994 and now serves as continuing half-time lecturer and director of photography programs. Her current body of work explores historic photographic processes and subjects.
George Lorio (sculpture). Gallery talk: Nov. 3.
Lorio is an associate professor and has taught at Guilford since 1987. His sculptures in this exhibition reflect his fascination for the natural environment and "allude to the rapid, fleshy growth of seasonal branches, which have a sinuous organic line, quickly formed, responding to the brief opportunity for life."
Roy Nydorf (sculpture). Gallery talk: Nov. 10.
Nydorf's interest in line and form through painting and printmaking have recently been manifested into sculpture. Carving in wood, his work is inspired by the quiet dignity and timeless humanity of Archaic Greek, Tribal African, Oceanic, and East and West Coast American Indian carving. Nydorf has been with Guilford College since 1978 and is a full professor.
Molly Stouten (printmaking/mixed media). Gallery talk: Dec. 15.
Stouten's work in this exhibition centers around two artist's books, one an exploration of families and the legacies carried through generations, and the other a reflection on the artist's experience as a student of traditional Appalachian music and performance. She earned her masters in fine arts from Minneapolis College of Art & Design in 1996, and is a visiting part time lecturer teaching Drawing and Design this fall.
Charles Tefft (ceramics). Gallery talk: Nov. 17.
A 1997 graduate of Guilford College, Tefft returned to Guilford last spring as a visiting part time lecturer. His ceramics have been included in international competitive exhibitions and in two recent publications, The Ceramics Design Book: A Gallery of Contemporary Work, and Wheel Thrown Ceramics (both published by Lark Books, Asheville, NC).
Adele Wayman (painting). Gallery talk: November 24.
On sabbatical this academic year, following her appointment as Clerk of the Faculty, Wayman joined Guilford College in 1973 and holds the rank of H. Curt and Patricia S. Hege Professor of Art. She will exhibit new paintings that are both conscious and unconscious meditations on racism and the "complex way that our blindness about racial difference has been woven for centuries into the fabric of our lives."
Lisa Young (ceramics). Gallery talk: December 8.
Lisa Young, after twenty-three years with Guilford College as continuing part-time lecturer in ceramics, is now pursuing her own artistic and service-related endeavors, including training to be and working as a chaplain in the Moses Cone Health Care System. Young's pots in the exhibition, created while she was on sabbatical, "reverence the domestic and reflect [the artist's] pleasure in it."
