The Rise: Senior Show Exhibit

Reception: Saturday March 17, 2017, 1:30-3:30pm

 The A.D. Gallery is pleased to present the first wave of seniors presenting their thesis show. The exhibit includes six seniors. The exhibit’s theme revolves around the modern day stigmatizations and struggles amongst young individuals such as mental and physical disabilities and the search for one’s identity.

Amongst this group of seniors, there is a variety of technical abilities and process that they go through. Emily Nick uses a mix of 2-D and 3-D materials to create her pieces, focusing on the use of ceramic clay and acrylic paints. Ashley Nordquist focuses on traditionally 2-D media that involves a specific multi-layer process and acrylic paintings. Angel Crespo creates unique sculptural pieces through sculpting a variety of material including authentic animal skulls. Jaekwon Parker combines the use of real people in his everyday life with original characters that he’s created and combines them with high contrast in colors. Bonaventure Ogbaugo uses digital and traditional media to connect back to his theme of self identity. Aaron Baldwin uses digital painting to create his original characters.
