His process begins by collecting discarded colonial window panels that were used to protect the homes in Trinidad de Cuba during the Spanish colonization. He then photographs his subjects\, capturing them in a spontaneous moment. Working off of his photograph\, Lázaro meticulously carves layer after layer from the repurposed panel\, exposing the perfectly preserved wood under the surface. Using acrylic paint\, Lázaro adds touches of color to the piece\, choosing to leave the skin of the subject wood tone — connecting the person he has chosen to portray to the material that he has chosen to work with. The life of the tree\, the window shutter\, the home it protected\, the subject portrayed\, and the artist are all represented in each piece of art. \nArtist Demonstration: September 27 from 6pm – 8pm |Great Hall Auditorium\nLázaro Niebla\, Cuban wood sculptor\, explains his concept\, technique\, tools and cultural aspects of his work.  He’ll show an example of a work in progress and how he accomplishes the carved details of his subjects to create the multi-dimensional texture of his works.\n\nNEW!!! Opening Reception – RESCHEDULED FOR November 10 from 6pm – 8 pm | Pollak Gallery\nPlease join us for a meet and greet with the artist!

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.

It is the story of the architectural revolution of a solitary maestro who changed the appearance of Rome forever\, by pushing himself to his limit\, but also by battling conventions and prejudices\, with the humility to learn from the past to invent the future\, with the courage to pursue an idea despite knowing he would pay the price in the end. \nEstimated runtime: 102 minutes URL:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/event/borromini-and-bernini-the-challenge-for-perfection/ LOCATION:Pollak Theatre CATEGORIES:Arts at Monmouth,Broadcast in HD,Film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2023/07/BORROMINI_header.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20231116T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231116T174500 DTSTAMP:20260405T120241 CREATED:20230918T192310Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230918T192310Z UID:40810112141-1700152200-1700156700@www.monmouth.edu SUMMARY:Mihaela Moscaliuc and Michael Waters DESCRIPTION:Mihaela Moscaliuc is the author of the poetry collections Cemetery Ink (University of Pittsburgh Press\, 2021)\,  Immigrant Model (University of Pittsburgh Press\, 2015) and Father Dirt (Alice James Books\, 2010)\, translator of Liliana Ursu’s Clay and Star (Etruscan Press\, 2019) and Carmelia Leonte’s The Hiss of the Viper (Carnegie Mellon University Press\, 2015)\, editor of Insane Devotion: On the Writing of Gerald Stern (Trinity University Press\, 2016)\, and co-editor (with Michael Waters) of Border Lines: Poems of Migration (Knopf\, 2020).
