2. MAURA SCHAFFER: RECENT WORK

Eric Dean GGallery, Randolph Deer Art Wing, Fine Arts Center, October 24 through December 9, 2005

Opening Reception Monday, October 24, 8-9:30PM

Artist Maura Schaffer’s work uses the familiar imagery of domestic life to convey aspects of what it means to be human.  The stylized sculptural forms of chairs, tables, windows and doors are created to suggest human activities like dancing, fighting or lovemaking.  The anthropomorphic qualities of the work bring our own human patterns to mind – eating, moving, resting and communicating.  She says of her work, “I explore how different media, materials, and textures can be integrated to create sculptures that connect with the human condition.”  Schaffer, a member of the Purdue University Art Department, has created works that are both objects and installation based.  The artist will be on campus for activities surrounding the exhibition opening.

Nature, Observed and Expressed

Recent works by Linda Salerno, Betsy Stirratt, Joe Trumpey

This art exhibit illustrated the varied ways artists are influenced by and respond to nature. Joe Trumpey '88 is an associate professor of scientific illustration at the University of Michigan. His paintings of the animals and insects of North America examine these subjects in exacting detail. Bloomington, Indiana artist Betsy Stirratt's paintings consist of layers of organic forms and lush colors that recall both micro and macro views of esoteric organisms, creating a sensuous surface. Linda Salerno, who lives in Canton Ticino, Switzerland, and whose works are provided by the Lydon Fine Art Gallery in Chicago, mixes paintings of plants from the 19th century along with direct imprints of live nature in a lush color field.The first art exhibit of the new year will feature a Wabash College graduate's work. The Art Department's first 2005 exhibit is titled "Nature Observed and Expressed."
