It covers 21 different categories ranging from painting\, drawing\, collage\, printmaking\, and digital imaging to sculpture. CRESSON have always been interested in a broad range of art topics\, styles and techniques and has followed her heart and not limited herself to just one or two topics\, series or styles. \nAncient cultures and architecture\, botanicals\, maps & ephemera\, the landscape\, weather systems and climate\, insects\, birds\, Asian culture\, kimonos\, bonsai design\, endangered species\, marine life and the seashore – these are all topics that have interested her for many years and she returns again and again to them for inspiration. Using these as inspiration and metaphor her interest is also in the exploration of human interaction and the natural world – the navigation between what is hidden and what is revealed. \nRecently she has concentrated her explorations into the connection between geometry and Nature. She has explored this by juxtaposing hard edge geometric design form\, scientific illustrations\, and pattern against organic landscape shapes\, portions of sketches\, and textured paint. \nMany of the artist’s pieces combine drawing\, type\, painting\, graphic design\, digital imagery\, and original photography. A majority of her prints and images over the years have reflected interests in nature and landscape\, legend\, myth\, storytelling\, and spirituality. They complement a 35-year interest in anthropology and archaeology with particular interest in the cultures of Egypt\, Japan\, China\, South American Mayan and the Anastazi. \n\n \n \n \n \n Pat Cresson – Taj Mahal\n \n \n \n \n \n Pat Cresson – Vintage Fish\n \n \n \n \n \n Pat Cresson – Blue-Lagoon-Kimona-Series-Green-Frog\n \n \n \n \n \n Pat Cresson – Prevailing Winds\n \n \n \n \n \n Pat Cresson – Moose and Elk\n \n \n\n“Cresson has often taken a collage approach in her creative work and this is clear in both paintings and prints. In painting\, the artist’s use of oils\, wax\, and mixed media enhances both the collage look of her work and her atmospheric approach to color. In printmaking\, her use of chine-collé and the collograph process heightens the variety of textures and colors in her work. Whether one looks at the paintings and the prints on display here\, or the drawings and digital images available on the artist’s website\, there are opposing areas of abstract color\, a wide array of textures and transparencies\, and recognizable images (or in some cases\, the vague suggestion of images). Color is one of the artist’s strengths\, and her use of it ranges from the poetic to the dramatic. The paintings\, which tend to be more abstract than the prints\, contain some of her most ethereal color combinations. Line is another strength\, especially in the prints that utilize the inherently linear process of intaglio etching.” \nDr. Kate Ogden\, Professor of Art History\, Stockton State University\, NJ \nThis work was supported\, in part\, by several Grant-in-Aid-for-Creativity awards and the Urban Coast Institute at Monmouth University.

The exhibition features a selection of some eighteen works. All are from Monmouth University’s extensive collection of Jacob Landau’s work\, comprising over 300 prints\, drawings\, and paintings. The collection was gifted to Monmouth University in 2008 by the Jacob Landau Institute of Roosevelt\, NJ. \nReception: Thursday\, April 13\, from 4– 6 pm \nAbout Jacob Landau:\nBorn in Philadelphia in 1917\, Landau launched his career as an illustrator\, winning national prizes at age 16 and a scholarship to the Philadelphia College of Art. He went on to have over sixty one-person shows\, featuring a wide range of drawings and paintings. The recipient of numerous awards\, including Guggenheim and National Arts Council grants\, many of his works are featured in permanent collections\, such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. A master teacher\, he retired as professor emeritus at New York’s Pratt Institute. In 1996\, he was awarded an honorary Doctorate in Fine Arts by Monmouth University. \nFor Jacob Landau “art enables us to see the world whole and undivided.” And at its center lies the artist’s desire for justice in this world. The current exhibit reveals that his entire career was driven by such a quest from an early work with conte crayon\, “Two Women in Market” and his “Mine Strike at Auchel” through an “Einstein” portrait\, as well as watercolor pochoirs of “Malachi” and “Isaiah” who call for justice and whose bold colors and sinuous lines derive from their respective stained-glass windows that Landau created for the Keneseth Israel Synagogue in Elkins Park\, PA (just outside Philadelphia)\, two of ten windows\, each towering 5’x20’\, that flank the prayer hall. \nLandau’s Isaiah and Malachi watercolors exhilarate\, even as they confront the viewer. We realize that the prophet does not predict the future but reveals the present\, witnessing injustice\, condemning it\, and proclaiming alternatives—actions. Clearly\, Isaiah’s words pierced the artist’s heart: “Seek justice\, relieve the oppressed.” \n And we see Landau’s struggle in his quest as a citizen of our world and as an artist in a series of sketches and preparatory drawings for his portrait of Malachi as well as those of Amos\, Hosea\, and Jeremiah. We are also given an image of a world without justice\, Ezekiel’s Vison of Dry Bones\, and a glimpse of a promised new world to come\, New Jerusalem. \n  \n  URL:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/event/jacob-landau-the-prophetic-quest-2/ LOCATION:Guggenheim Memorial Library\, Room 101\, 400 Cedar Ave\, West Long Branch\, NJ\, 07764\, United States CATEGORIES:Art and Design,Art Exhibitions,Arts at Monmouth,Free ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2018/07/landau201400x600_3.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230410T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230423T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T221502 CREATED:20230420T140736Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230420T140736Z UID:40810111892-1681113600-1682269200@www.monmouth.edu SUMMARY:2023 Senior Exhibition DESCRIPTION:Featuring the work of Monmouth University graduating seniors who will receive their degrees from the Department of Art & Design. \nClosing Reception: April 23 from 1 to 4 p.m. URL:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/event/2023-senior-exhibition/ LOCATION:DiMattio Gallery at Rechnitz Hall CATEGORIES:Art and Design,Art Exhibitions,Arts at Monmouth,Free ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2023/04/seniorshowheader.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230206T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230206T200000 DTSTAMP:20260403T221502 CREATED:20230118T154421Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230124T201713Z UID:40810111691-1675706400-1675713600@www.monmouth.edu SUMMARY:The Night Sea Journey - An Artist Talk by Associate Professor Kimberly Callas DESCRIPTION:Associate Professor Kimberly Callas will give an artist talk on the artwork she created during a two-year Monmouth Fellowship\, where she served as the artist-in-residence for the Urban Coast Institute. During the fellowship\, Callas created a series of large-scale (10′) drawings that connect images of the ocean\, ocean archetypes\, and the human body. Inspired by historical nautical charts hand-drawn and mounted on muslin\, Callas’ drawings are made of graphite\, dye\, and India ink on paper and dyed muslin. They are then mounted on canvas. In the drawings\, Callas uses latitude\, longitude lines\, and depth charts to ‘specifically place’ the work in places that follow the Right Whales’ annual migration through the Jersey Shore. The drawings include symbols like the Whale\, Fish\, Boat\, Net\, and Horizon Line\, and archetypes like ‘the night sea journey\,’ a journey navigated by stars to a new shore.\n \nKimberly Callas is a multi-media artist\, sculptor\, and the lead artist of the Social Practice project Discovering the Ecological Self. She uses digital emerging technologies with traditional hand and clay modeling techniques to create life-size figures that combine the human body with symbols and patterns from nature. The figures are drawn or cast in plaster or bronze\, 3D printed or routed out of wood with a CNC. Ground pigments\, beeswax\, and natural materials such as wasp paper or birch bark are often used to finish the work. \nHer work has been exhibited internationally in galleries and museums and has received national and international grants and awards. Recent awards include a Pollination Project Grant\, an Urban Coast Artist-in-Residence\, and a Monmouth University Faculty Fellowship. In 2020\, she received 1st Place Award in Sculpture at the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club’s Annual Exhibit in New York City. Other recent exhibits include the 2019 International New Media Exhibit at the CICA Museum in South Korea\, Summer Exhibition at Flowers Gallery in New York City\, 9×12 at Dual Galleria in Budapest\, Hungary and Crossing Boundaries: Art and the Future of Energy at The Pensacola Museum of Art\, Pensacola\, FL. Her work has been published in Post Human\, New Media Art 2020 by CICA Press and has appeared in the Huffington Post and Art New England. Callas received her MFA from the New York Academy of Art and her BFA from Stamps School of Art at the University of Michigan. She is currently an Associate Professor of Art at Monmouth University\, in West Long Branch\, NJ and maintains a studio in both Maine and New Jersey. \n***This lecture can also be viewed virtually through Zoom – please CLICK HERE to register to receive the zoom link*** \n  URL:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/event/the-night-sea-journey-an-artist-talk-by-associate-professor-kimberly-callas/ LOCATION:The Great Hall Auditorium/Virtual\, 400 Cedar Ave\, West Long Branch\, NJ\, 07720\, United States CATEGORIES:Art and Design,Arts at Monmouth,Faculty,Lectures,Lectures/Workshops/Symposiums ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2023/01/Callas_header.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230123T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230331T235959 DTSTAMP:20260403T221502 CREATED:20230105T181929Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230105T181929Z UID:40810111670-1674432000-1680307199@www.monmouth.edu SUMMARY:Eileen Sackman: The Elephant in the Room DESCRIPTION:The Elephant in the Room calls attention to threatened and endangered animals\, encapsulating their expressive nature through emotional representation. By addressing the “elephant in the room” these wood fired portrait-esque pieces bring awareness to species that have been brought to the brink of extinction due to human interference and have been forever impacted by these interactions. \nIllustrated Lecture: Thursday\, February 2 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. | Great Hall Auditorium\n\nReception follows in the Ice House Gallery from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. URL:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/event/eileen-sackman-the-elephant-in-the-room/ LOCATION:Rotary Ice House Gallery CATEGORIES:Art and Design,Art Exhibitions,Arts at Monmouth,Free ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2023/01/header.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220425T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220513T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T221502 CREATED:20220425T145316Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220429T143315Z UID:40810111241-1650873600-1652461200@www.monmouth.edu SUMMARY:Piano Parts Homage to Harold and Collages DESCRIPTION:Piano Parts Homage to Harold and Collages is the newest collection of work from Professor Vincent DiMattio.

Cusumano is an Engineer for the Arts living in Philadelphia working with students\, artists\, musicians\, and curators to create educational interactive electronic devices and installations. As part of his creative practice\, he has connected plants and fungi with synthesizers to make music. Biodata Sonification is the process of representing invisible changes in plants to create music. By detecting microcurrent fluctuations across the surface of a plant’s leaf\, these changes are used to generate MIDI notes which can be played through a synthesizer or computer to create sound. In this virtual presentation Sam Cusumano will explain methods used to tap into the secret life of plants\, showing how to translate data for making music\, and discuss the implications of interpreting biodata. Audio examples of Biodata Sonification will be performed live using analog synthesizers\, digital audio workstations\, and synth apps along with a Snake Plant\, large Monstera\, and various Cacti. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation. \nFree and open to the public\, but registration is required. \nThis event is being recorded for educational and archival purposes and it may be posted on our website. By participating in this presentation\, you give permission for Monmouth University to record the presentation for University purposes. You understand that your name\, likeness\, voice and statements may be recorded. If you do not wish to be recorded\, a recording of this presentation will later be available upon request\, and you can contact Amanda Stojanov\, Assistant Professor of Digital Media (astojano@monmouth.edu) with any questions you may have regarding the presentation.

Lee DESCRIPTION:In this exhibition\, artist and Monmouth University Art and Design faculty member\, Tonya D. Lee presents a collection of multi-discipline work that explores the abstraction of nature and environment through the combination shapes\, patterns\, moments and pauses that are derived from passive spaces\, fleeting thoughts and changing winds. Location and process are in a conversation about ephemeral moments of beauty. Using a multi-disciplinary process of combining painting\, drawing\, collage\, construction\, and digital media\, the obsessions with materiality explore form and color as an echo of the present overlapping past presents — form and color negotiating to exist as object and subject.

They are the daughters of Oceanus and Tethys. Coscia\, the Chief Photographer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art has spent countless hours with classical sculptures\, photographing them in various settings and seasons. He focuses on the qualities of light on sculpture in changing conditions\, and the shifting effects of natural light on stone surfaces. His photographs of museum pieces explore elements of the art outside the context of the museum setting. \nHis recent work draws on Man Ray’s solarization techniques. This effect reverses the shadow areas and transforms the sense of weight and volume of the objects\, so that they appear suspended in air or water. The forms are evocative of earthly creatures or fossils; photographing and printing them using recreated old photographic techniques removes time specificity\, so that they also are suspended in time. \nCoscia\, Jr. received his MFA from Hunter College in 1989 and his BFA from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania in 1982. His photographs have appeared in numerous publications and museum books\, most notably Light on Stone\, a photographic essay published by Yale Press in 2004.

She continued her studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and earned an MFA at the Tyler School of the Arts at Temple University. She has been considered part of the “Chicago School” of imagist painters\, fitting generationally into the “Monster Roster” group of artists from that city\, including the most well-known of her classmates to lead the charge of image and ideas over pure abstraction\, Leon Golub and Nancy Spero. A resident of Cherry Hill\, New Jersey\, Sharrow died in 2006. \nIn the dominant milieu of Abstract Expressionism beginning in the 1950s\, which actively rebelled against identifiable “meaning\,” Sharrow remained grounded in a humanist tradition and a social context. Curator and writer Alejandro Anreus placed her “in the company of Kollwitz\, Beckman and Orozco\,” and writer Amy Fine Collins linked “her sensibility to German Expressionism.” \nSharrow’s unique style of storytelling and her occasional use of poetic text stand her apart. Her artistic intentions were deeply intellectual. “As long as the world is going the way it is going\, I cannot stop doing what I have been doing\,” Sharrow told The New York Times in 2002. She lamented\, “We cannot seem to get it right.” \nThe works will be on loan from both James Yarosh Associates Fine Art Gallery and the Estate of Sheba Sharrow as well as from institutions such as the Jersey City Museum of Art and private collections.

Cheryl’s painting technique was derived from Flemish painting that she had explored as a student at The School of Visual Arts where she is now on the faculty since 1985. Her method includes the manipulation of segments of Northern European paintings and incorporating that imagery in building a new landscape\, like a stage. Cheryl has received many awards\, including last year’s best in show at the Monmouth Museum’s 38th international juried awards show. \nCheryl’s daughter Claudia\, having grown up with both parents as artists\, gave her an innate inclination to explore her imagination and develop knowledge of oil painting.  Admitted into The School of Visual Arts\, her parents alumni\, Claudia in her third year first began to primarily use oil paint as her medium to illustrate the 18th century fairy tale Donkey Skin by Charles Perrault.  Claudia graduated with honors and was then accepted into the Masters Program\, Illustration as Visual Essay\, with a limited class of 20 students. With her background in Illustration and skills in using oils learned from he mother\, all of Claudia’s paintings tell a story. Her end of the year show paintings began to carve out some of the subject matter she wanted to explore\, “that behind every exquisite thing that exists there is something tragic” a quote from Oscar Wilde’s Portrait of Dorian Gray. Claudia is currently working as a painting assistant to the artist Jeff Koons\, while pursuing her own personal work.

He had over sixty one-person shows and was the recipient of many awards\, including Tiffany\, Guggenheim and National Arts Council grants. \n \nLandau’s art\, devoted to the “advocacy of the human\,” which entails “revelation of the tragic” and “hope of transcendence\,” embodies a vision of justice for women. Powerfully and subtly erasing inherited gender boundaries\, it triumphs. In his watercolor AS ABOVE  SO BELOW he gives us an unforgettable vision of the “patterned energy” that is the just relation between sexes. We see masculine “incompleteness” and feminine “imperfection” in balanced unity. The man below and the woman above\, declaring together: “I and thou we create each other.” And by this creation of the human imagination we are convinced of its truth. \n \nThe exhibition features a selection of twelve pieces. All works are from Monmouth University’s extensive collection of Jacob Landau’s work\, comprising over 300 prints\, drawings and paintings. The collection was gifted to Monmouth University in 2008 by the Jacob Landau Institute of Roosevelt\, NJ. This exhibit is co-sponsored by the Jewish Culture Studies Program and the Honors School of Monmouth University. \nOpening Reception: Monday\, April 10\, 2017 from 4:30 – 6:00 p.m. \n  \nDocent tours are available (for times\, contact Professor Noel Belinski 732-263-5425; email: nbelinsk@monmouth.edu).\n  URL:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/event/womens-rights-are-human-rights-an-exhibit-of-selected-works-by-jacob-landau/ LOCATION:Monmouth University Library CATEGORIES:Art and Design ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2018/07/560PauloAndFrancesca.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170407 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170415 DTSTAMP:20260403T221502 CREATED:20180725T203924Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190301T192040Z UID:40810101626-1491523200-1492214399@www.monmouth.edu SUMMARY:Second Senior Show: Fine Art & Animation DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Fri.

February 5\, from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m.\nIllustrated Lecture: Wilson Hall Auditorium\, 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. \nI begin by taking photographs of interiors such as warehouses\, storage spaces\, junkshops and basements; places where everything is jumbled\, disorganized and filled with piles of random stuff.  From these photographs I construct a view and then start to draw freehand.  I don’t make sketches or project images to make the drawings.  Once I put lines on the surface I don’t erase or remove them.  If I want to change the drawing I just add more lines on top of the existing ones. These ‘mistakes’ that I make in the process of my drawing appear as double or multiples lines as I apply ‘corrections’. They reflect the accumulation of time\, and how my perception has changed and become less clear over time.\nMost of the drawing installations are site-specific.  I usually visit the site before I start the piece and take measurements of the space where I will install the work.  Usually I have vague ideas about how the whole installation will sit in the space\, but most of the decisions I make happen during the process of making the piece in the studio. \nMost of my drawing installations are also room scale\, so I work section by section in my studio and don’t usually get to see the entire drawing until I have finish installing it. The whole piece is attached to the wall with the same black masking tape that I use for the drawing. I give each Mylar sheet a number and make a map of the drawing that shows which number goes where\, so installing the whole piece is just like a putting together a really big puzzle. \nI am mostly attracted to representing claustrophobic environments and defunct objects. At the beginning\, it started as more of a formal interest – I was attracted to these massive piles of things\, and the anonymous\, decontextualized quality they had.  I wanted to make still life drawings that were about perception and mark-making rather than the narrative of the objects themselves.  But the more I worked with claustrophobic spaces\, I stared to realize that these are the spaces hidden within our lives.  We have so many things that we forget about. We struggle for space for ourselves and for the things we own.  Now I am interested in these as lost spaces. \nMy work deals with memory and perception within cluttered spaces. I begin by photographing interiors such as basements\, workshops\, and storage spaces\, places where everything is jumbled and time becomes ambiguous without the presence of people. From these photographs I construct a view and then I draw freehand without erasing. As I correct “mistakes” the work results in double or multiple lines\, which reflect how my perception has changed over time and makes me question my initial perception. Paradoxically\, greater concentration and more lines make the drawn objects less clear. The more I see\, the less I believe in the accuracy or reality of the images I draw. \nArtist Website: heeseopyoon.com/ URL:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/event/gallery-exhibition-heeseop-yoon/ LOCATION:Rotary Ice House Gallery CATEGORIES:Art and Design,Arts at Monmouth ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2018/07/Yoon_SilkscreenWallpaperDetail.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
