ABOUT FACE

September 7 – December 5, 2021
Sussel Gallery

Faces serve as the primary way we identify one another. They communicate individuality, heredity, emotions, and attitudes. This exhibition celebrates artistic interpretations of faces alongside current scientific understanding about the face’s unique relevance for human interaction. How do we recognize each other and how does that affect the way we forge relationships? How do we wordlessly communicate our innermost feelings, even when we may want to hide them? How do artists challenge us to rethink the way we see each other and ourselves?

BEHOLDEN: William Paul Thomas

October 19 – December 5, 2021
Burton D. Morgan Gallery
A sensitive portraitist, William Paul Thomas creates images of people within his circle of friends and family, calling on the viewer to consider their essential humanity and inner emotional lives. The larger than life-size portraits convey honor, respect, and even reverence for everyday people, and act as a bridge for us to connect.
BEHOLDEN asks us to look closely and consider how much we owe one another.
