FAR

On view: 12/6 - 12/7
Opening reception: Friday, December 6th 5pm-8pm
(During Gallery Walk)

This show forefronts figurative painting as a vehicle for understanding the conscious and subconscious world, its struggles, and its fantasies. Each of the artists before you depict the figure in a variety of ways, whether it be through media like acrylic or watercolor or even oil paint. To us, the figure can be interpreted either representationally as it would in real life, or through the languages of abstraction and stylization.

Contemporary figurative painting is expansive and diverse in content. The selected works hanging in the gallery space are all original works, which we stand by and love, but are joyful to share with potential patrons in preparation for an exhibition at Chicago Expo – an annual pivotal art fair set on the Navy Pier in Chicago, Illinois.

About the Indiana University Painting Guild
The Indiana University Painting Guild is a student-run organization whose primary aim is connecting with the greater Bloomington community via event presence, service, and fundraising. It was founded as a way to solidify community within the Painting program at the university, and to promote artistic engagement through excellence. Our members consist of various artists within the program, both at the MFA and BFA level, and our collective collaboration produces powerful connections in the art world, as evident with our current goal of exhibiting at Chicago Expo. Much like preceding artistic guilds, we forefront and re-define what it means to be a contemporary painter and artist through meetings, discussion, and experimentation.
