Karen Bright, MFA, professor of Art and Design, will host a new art exhibit, \u201cIt\u2019s a Question of Survival [a collection of thoughtful paintings]\u201d at the Atlantic Highlands Arts Council from Jan. 29-March 5.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Bright\u2019s collection includes 25 paintings created using encaustic, a painting technique that incorporates resin, beeswax, and pigment, adding multiple layers and depth to the work. The exhibition features paintings completed during the pandemic next to pre-pandemic work, showcasing the evolving shift in style and approach between the two periods of time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cThis collection \u2013 curated from my body of work \u2013 is meant to create a subtle visual experience that evolves as you walk through, clockwise \u2013 starting and ending \u2013 with the front wall facing the street. All of my work is intended to express an aspect of life using materials that speak to the fragility of our planet \u2013 set against the beauty that all creatures possess \u2013 as we all face the challenges ahead that threaten our ability to thrive,\u201d Bright said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

An opening reception, rescheduled due to inclement weather, will unveil her completed work on Saturday, Feb. 5, from 6-8 p.m., with a 30-minute artist talk beginning at 6:30 p.m. Bright is also planning a walk-and-talk sometime February, with a specific date to be announced.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The exhibition will be displayed during the Atlantic Highlands Art Council hours, Thursday-Saturday from 12-8 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Gallery hours may change. Check the Atlantic Highlands Art Council website<\/a> prior to attending.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
