SUMMARY:Gallery Exhibition: Hon Eui Chen - After the Sun
DESCRIPTION:January 20 – March 7\nRechnitz Hall\nDiMattio Gallery – First Floor\nLecture: Thursday\, January 29\, 4:30 – 5:30 p.m.  Wilson Hall Auditorium\,\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, January 29 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. \nThe poetics of intimate spaces and the exploration of the idea of home are what interest me in paintings and installation.  The subject of home remains an abstract concept and is the motivational force for my studio pursuits.  Born in a refugee camp that lies between Cambodia and Thailand\, I moved with my family to Mississippi at the age of six.  Growing up\, the sense of belonging and not belonging to the Southern culture of Mississippi affected my sense of identity.  The memories of my childhood on the Thai-Cambodia border became just a faint beacon of light as the years go by; the need to remember\, to retrieve those childhood memories of a past life remains a constant act in my work. \nIn my installations\, I make objects that convey themes of identity\, memory and longing to transform and activate a room.  I use acrylic paint\, varnishes\, resin\, plaster and photographs as the structural realization for a subject as formless and transitory as memory.  The concept of travel and memory are embedded in the current series of mixed media paintings – layered earthy\, dark colored background with graphite drawn trees and foliage and an overlay of concrete.  My work seeks to simulate the impermanence of memory\, the fleetingness of its existence in mixed media installations\, creating structures that translate the mind’s formless but living past into physical material and sensation and transforming space that poetically simulates a timeless place for recollection and dreams. \nArtist website: www.honeuichen.com \nImage Caption: Untitled\, 8” x 8”\, acrylic\, image transfer and concrete on panel\, 2014

DESCRIPTION:January 20 – March 7\, 2014\nRechnitz Hall\nDiMattio Gallery – Second Floor \nJacob Landau (1917-2001)\, printmaker\, painter\, humanist\, and teacher was an artist whose works explored the basic themes of human existence and morality with an insight that was both passionate and indignant. He was born in Philadelphia\, PA\, where he began as an illustrator\, but he lived most of his adult life in Roosevelt\, NJ. Here he immersed himself in the town’s thriving artistic community\, along with such noted artists as Ben Shahn\, and began a distinguished career as professor at Pratt Institute\, Brooklyn\, NY. The art he created gained him an impressive reputation\, with many of his works included in the permanent collections of the world’s finest museums\, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, the Museum of Modern Art (New York\, NY)\, the Hirshhorn Museum (Washington\, DC)\, as well as the National Gallery of Art in Washington\, DC. He also received numerous honors\, including fellowships from the Guggenheim and Ford Foundations.\nIn retirement he became Professor Emeritus at Pratt and received an honorary Doctorate in Fine Arts from Monmouth University in 1996. \nIn 2008 the Jacob Landau Institute donated more than 300 of the artist’s prints\, drawings and paintings to Monmouth University.  Jacob Landau: Selected Paintings from the Monmouth University Permanent Art Collection will feature approximately twenty original paintings. \nImage Caption: Satanic Wheels\, Watercolor\, 36 1/4″ x 50 3/4″

SUMMARY:Gallery Exhibition - Evelyn Leavens Retrospective 1924 - 2013
DESCRIPTION:November 7 – December 19\nRechnitz Hall’s DiMattio Gallery\nOpening Reception: Friday\, November 14\, 2014 from 7 – 9 pm \nBorn in 1924\, Evelyn Leavens is a life long resident of Red Bank. Her first solo show was in 1952 at the Old Mill Gallery\, Tinton Falls\, known then for the introduction of Alice Neel and Martha Graham.\nIn 1958 a book of drawings “Boswells’ Life of Boswell” by Leavens was published by Simon and Schuster which became #2 on the New York Times children’s best seller that year. \nShe has received two fellowships from N.J. State Council of the Arts and was included in the 1977 N.J. Arts Council biennial at the Trenton State Museum. Her work has shown\, notably\, at City Without Walls\, Aljira\, Tweeds\, Summit Art Center and the Morris State Museum. \nPrimarily self taught\, she attended the Vermont Studio Center in 1987 where she studied with Malcolm Morley\, Archie Rand and Niel Welliver. \n“Black Convergence is a bit hard to describe. First\, it is not an abstract. It takes nothing from nothing. This painting is non-objective because it has nothing in its mind to start with. The first mark on the paper is the way to the second mark.  This progresses\, through many marks and changes to become a true non-objective. It makes many changes until\, through love and hate\, eventually becomes acceptable. I never give up”.\n– Evelyn Leavens \nThis exhibition will include works from throughout the artist’s life. \nImage Caption: Black Convergence\, 2012\, Watercolor on paper\, 16″ x 20”

SUMMARY:Gallery Exhibition: David H. Wells
DESCRIPTION:September 2 – November 14\, 2014\nIce House Gallery\nOpening Reception:  Thursday\, September 25\, from 4:30 – 7:00 p.m. \nAn exhibit about the empty homes and foreclosed dreams littering the American landscape in the wake of the foreclosure crisis. \nOwning a home was once the American dream. At the peak of the foreclosure crisis\, one in five American homeowners was either behind on their mortgage payments or in the process of foreclosure. Their empty homes and foreclosed dreams are powerful symbols of lives shattered and families devastated. \nAfter a house is foreclosed upon there is a fleeting moment when the ghosts of the one-time owners are all that is left – before the houses are cleaned and returned to the real estate market.  The remaining signs of life photographed during this period of time echo the voices and footsteps that once filled these emptied houses. \nI focused on empty homes\, as they are immovable objects and stand in stark contrast to the highly mobile American dream. I chose not to focus on individual families in foreclosure because I wanted to explore the issue from a broader perspective. The final work is made more powerful by its lack of literalism and its attention to chillingly mundane objects.  An open-ended canvas\, viewers can project their own ideas into the photographs – about home\, America and family\, into the empty spaces of the houses. \nI started the project in April of 2009\, with the goal of understanding the upheaval we are living through. I initially photographed in the Central Valley of California\, an epicenter of the foreclosure crisis. Then\, I worked in Rhode Island\, which has a foreclosure rate very similar to California’s. To date\, I have photographed in eighteen states. \nMy audience is America itself\, including those who worry about the possible foreclosure of their own dreams\, those who have already experienced that trauma and anyone concerned or interested in what’s happening to the American dream.

SUMMARY:Gallery Exhibition: MAVIS SMITH / THINK AGAIN
DESCRIPTION:September 2 – October 17\, 2014\nRechnitz Hall\nDiMattio Gallery – First Floor\nOpening Reception: Friday\, September 19\, from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. \nWe interact with hundreds of people throughout our lifetimes\, yet can we ever hope to grasp the intricate web of experience that makes them tick? Imagining the hidden realities of other people’s existences is a continuing theme in the work of artist Mavis Smith. “It’s not so much specific people or events\, but the general sense of unknown depths that intrigues me”\, says Smith. “It does not have to be dark; heroic acts toward total strangers or simple people rising to extraordinary occasions are equally in the mix.” Smith\, who’s works are often done in egg tempera\, brings an almost surreal aesthetic to her paintings that further suggests the dislocation of appearances and realities. \n“I have a love/hate relationship with egg tempera. It’s a labor intensive medium\, but the luminous effects you can achieve makes it seem worth it to me. I build up layer upon layer of thicker paint\, alternating with sheer washes of pigment – back and forth\, back and forth. The actual process is very meditative\, and I believe it contributes to my subconscious imagination coming into play.” \nBucks County\, PA resident Mavis Smith studied at the Pratt Institute in the 1970’s\, and has exhibited her work in Holland and Switzerland as well as Santa Fe\, New York City\, and several venues in NJ and PA including a solo show in 2012 at the Michener Art Museum in Doylestown\, PA. She is also a prolific illustrator and author of children’s books\, having authored 10 and illustrated at least 75. This exhibition samples a range of Smith’s work from years past\, as well as several new pieces\, including both paintings and works on paper as well as some recent sculptural works incorporating egg shells.

SUMMARY:Gallery Exhibition: Robert Mueller - Selected Works From the Monmouth University Permanent Collection
DESCRIPTION:September 2 – October 17\, 2014\nRechnitz Hall\nDiMattio Gallery – Second Floor \nInspired by mathematical models\, literary sources\, and his own social consciousness\, Robert Emmett Mueller\, artist\, engineer\, inventor\, author\, musician\, puppet maker\, and general wizard\, is on a never-ending search for visual equivalents to his ideas. \n“Such is his mind\, and such is his personality that I know whatever he is doing artistically is a search for form\, a search for beauty\, and a search for the meaning of things”\, said Bernarda Bryson Shahn\, and artist and Mueller’s longtime neighbor in Roosevelt\, New Jersey. \nMueller’s creations are largely varied.  They include woodcuts\, like a recent triptych entitled: Ravages of Pre-emptive War; The Devil Stalks Baghdad; America’s Bitter Presence\, whose theme is the U.S. invasion of Iraq.  Many of Mueller’s pieces can be found worldwide and are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the Museum of Modern Art\, and The Pushkin Museum in Moscow\, the New Jersey State Museum\, the Rutgers University Museum\, the Victoria and Albert Museum of London\, and other museums worldwide.  He is also a painter who describes his personal style as “Mathematico-abstract.”  Mueller has written two books\, The Science of Art\, published in 1967\, and Inventivity\, published in 1963. \nMueller’s own “inventivity” took a circuitous route to art.  He grew up in St. Louis\, where his father was a baker and his mother was a seamstress and milliner.  After serving in the Navy\, he was sent to a college preparation program in Asbury Park and later graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. \nAfter moving to New York City to study philosophy at New York University\, Mueller began to meet artists from Roosevelt\, which was begun as a planned workers’ community but had evolved into an artists’ colony that included\, among others\, Ben Shahn\, and Gregorio Prestopino\, both who influenced Mueller’s work.  Mueller moved to Roosevelt with his wife Diana Lobl\, an attorney\, in the 1950’s.  They now have two grown children\, Rachel and Erik. \nMueller said that through Roosevelt he became “conscious of human inhumanity\, moral and social problems\, the depths of degradation\, and the heights of elegance over which human nature ranges”\, and he believes that artists should use their work to react to crises in society\, to encourage protest\, and to fight for economic\, political\, and human well-being. \nIn this exhibition\, all of the above are skillfully communicated. \nImage Caption: Classic Figure\, 1996\, Woodcut\, 23 1/2″ x 17 1/2″
