Jenny Cullinan, living and working in South Africa, embroiders small internal organs onto delicate surfaces. Lu Zhang from China, living and working in the USA, works with the notion of body extensions through finely articulated pen drawings. May Wilson, living and working in the United States, focuses on the discarded and precious qualities of life through the representation of animal forms. Ashley Lyon, living and working in the United States, creates works that investigate the idea of the human body in relation to the idea of sculpted and psychological realism. Through the manipulation of various materials, these artists speak to the fragility of the body and reveal the way in which we locate the interior and exterior and extensions of the body to ideas of the sacred and secular.

GRAPHITE ON PAPER AT SCHOOL 33 ART CENTER
Graphite on Paper
Curated by René Treviño
November 12-December 31, 2010
Main Gallery
Opening reception, November 12, 2010, 6 to 9pm
A group exhibition of artists who employ graphite on paper in their practice, this exhibit will be a celebration of drawing. Since this show is using Graphite on Paper as it’s thematic current, preliminary drawings, sketchbooks, doodles as well as refined and “finished” works will be included. Matted and framed work under glass will hang beside sculptural work, video pieces and drawings that are thumb tacked to the walls. Graphite and paper are merely the starting point. The goal is an exhibit that has a wide breadth of approaches to the materials…humble materials that everyone has a basic understanding of, but materials that hold infinite possibilities.
Participating artists:
Alexa Brooks
Amanda Burnham
Todd Frye-Matte
Gary Kachadourian
Michelle La Perriere
Jan Razauskas
Juan Rodas
Matthew Shelly
Molly Springfield
Justin Storms
