“Paintings, Ceramics & Mixed Media”
Sept. 30 – Nov. 6

Paintings, Ceramics and Mixed Media by Pat Scull will be on display in the Rose Lehrman Art Gallery on the Harrisburg Campus of HACC, Central Pennsylvania’s Community College, from Sept. 30 – Nov. 6. A lecture will be held on Oct. 22 at 6 p.m. in Whitaker Hall, Room 214 followed by a reception at the gallery.
Pat Scull is an artist working in the Washington DC area after living in Chapel Hill and Raleigh NC for 30 years. Her work comes from an iconography she has developed over the years, and her exploration of different media. She is inspired by the people she meets and the stories they tell. With her ceramic sculpture and her paintings she is attracted to abstraction and juxtaposing contrasting elements. She likes to wonder about how everything fits into the general cosmos often paring telescopic imagery with the microscopic.
Pat graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a BFA in painting and studied printmaking at the Corcoran school of Art in Washington DC and UNC Chapel Hill. She has shown her work nationally through the juried American Craft Council craft shows, Atlanta, Charlotte, Sarasota, Chicago, and Baltimore - Hand Workshop in Richmond - Washington Craft Show in Washington DC - Baltimore Clayworks, Baltimore - Crafts New York, in Manhattan and the Smithsonian Craft Show also in Washington, DC. One of her ceramic pieces is now in the permanent collection of the Mint Museum in Charlotte, NC.
The Rose Lehrman Art Gallery hours are 11 a.m.-3 p.m., Monday-Friday, Tuesday and Thursday 5 p.m.-7 p.m., or by appointment.

Luba Lukova
“Blues and Other Themes”
Exhibit opens August 31

Graphic Posters by Luba Lukova will be on display in the Rose Lehrman Art Gallery on the Harrisburg Campus of HACC, Central Pennsylvania’s Community College, from Aug. 31 – Sept. 25. A lecture will be held on Sept. 15 at 6 p.m. in Stabler Hall, Room 102 followed by a reception at the gallery.

Internationally renowned, New York-based Luba Lukova is regarded as one of the most original image-makers working today. Whether by using an economy of line, color and text to pinpoint essential themes of humanity or to succinctly visualize social commentary, her work is undeniably powerful and thought-provoking.

In Lukova's art, less is more. More effect, more message, more expression; all while doing it with less. The graphic elements are bold with few fine details but the intent is clear. Her messages reflect the human condition, fundamental fairness, and justice. Yet while it is easy to focus solely on the messages of her provocative works, it is important to take a step back to appreciate the artistic merit in her simplicity. Her use of striking, metaphoric images gives the viewers art to not only appreciate visually but intellectually.

Lukova's work is included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Denver Art Museum; Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris; Hong Kong Heritage Museum; Centre de la Gravure et de l'Image imprimée, La Louvière, Belgium; the Library of Congress; and the World Bank, Washington, D.C. Her solo exhibitions include the Smithsonian Affiliate National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati, Ohio; Jewish Museum Milwaukee; Museum of Design Atlanta; La MaMa Gallery, New York; The Art Institute of Boston; UNESCO, Paris; and DDD Gallery, Osaka, Japan.

Reflecting on complex social issues has been Lukova’s career-long focus because of her firmly held belief that art is central to human existence and that morality and creativity are aligned. In 2008 she released her Social Justice portfolio, addressing themes such as peace, censorship, immigration, ecology, hunger, and corruption. The twelve iconic images soon became a best-selling publication and requests for exhibits and reproductions in magazines, newspapers and books came from around the globe. The collection was included in the prestigious art exhibition at the first inauguration of President Obama in Washington D.C. and has been exhibited widely in the U.S. and internationally. More than a decade since its publication, the series is as relevant as ever and the artist continues to create new social commentary work. In her words, she has “plenty of topics to tackle in the future.”

Lukova has received commissions from Sony Music, Canon, The New York Times, Time, and Harvard University, among others. Her art graces the Verve Records CD box set Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington at the Cote D'Azur, nominated for a Grammy Award for best recording package design. She has collaborated with some of the visionaries of contemporary theater, creating stunning posters for the productions of Judith Malina and the Living Theatre, Ellen Stewart and La MaMa Theater, and Sir Peter Hall. The first theater poster she ever designed, There Is No Death for the Songs, is now included in the permanent collection of MoMA, New York. Lukova's many awards include the Grand Prix Savignac/World's Most Memorable Poster at the International Poster Salon in Paris; the Gold Pencil from The One Club in New York; Honor Laureate at the International Poster Exhibition in Fort Collins, Colorado; and a grant from the Reisman Foundation. She holds an honorary doctoral degree from The Art Institute of Boston.

The Rose Lehrman Art Gallery hours are 11 a.m.-3 p.m., Monday-Friday, Tuesday and Thursday 5 p.m.-7 p.m., or by appointment.

Ceramic Sculptures by Travis Winters
Public Lecture and Reception will be held on Feb. 11

Ceramic Sculptures by Travis Winters will be on display in the Rose Lehrman Art Gallery on the Harrisburg Campus of HACC, Central Pennsylvania’s Community College, from January 20 – February 13. A public lecture will be held on Feb. 11 at 12 p.m. in Whitaker 214 followed by a reception at the gallery.
Travis Winters constructs characters, often humorous, each focused on its own individual narrative. These stories are based on mundane day-to-day life, past struggles, and real people. Throughout our lives we encounter many “characters” and create our own stories. Some of these people and stories become part of our personal identity as we pass them on to those around us. Travis narrates these stories derived from human nature, universal experiences, and his own personal understanding of the world around him. Drawing from these observations, he is able to manifest prevalent themes about life within our contemporary society. By creating comical figures, he initiates a non-threatening conversation about a variety of topics prevalent within our culture. Captivating the imagination of the viewer through open-ended stories, he invites the fabrication of personal narratives and encourages an intimate connection with the characters. This dialogue between viewer and figure encourages various interpretations, all while relating the narrative back to themes of everyday existence and experiences. With his work, he is modeling his figures with exaggerated folds and wrinkles in order to create a visceral encounter with each narrative. Through sculpting in this stylized yet realistic way, the viewer gets hooked in as their curiosity leads them to closely examine each character.
Travis Winters is a ceramic artist and Programs Director at Touchstone Center for Crafts in southwestern Pennsylvania. Originally from Corning, NY, he found his fascination for working in clay at community college and later went on to receive a BA from Buffalo State College and an MFA from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. Winters exhibits work nationally and has shown at the Baltimore Clayworks in Baltimore, MD, the Clay Studio in Philadelphia, PA, the Workhouse Arts Center in Lorton, VA, the Baton Rouge Gallery in Baton Rouge, LA, and the AMOCA Museum in Pomona, CA. Travis was the Lormina Salter Fellowship Artist at the Baltimore Clayworks, a long term Resident at Odyssey Clayworks in Asheville, NC, a Kiln God Summer Resident at the Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts in New Castle ME and a Short-Term Resident Artist at the Red Lodge Clay Center in Red Lodge, MT.
The Rose Lehrman Art Gallery hours are 11 a.m.-3 p.m., Monday-Friday, Tuesday and Thursday 5 p.m.-7 p.m., or by appointment.

Please join us tomorrow night for Lillian Bayley Hoover's lecture and reception!!

Paintings by Lillian Bayley Hoover will be on display in the Rose Lehrman Art Gallery on the Harrisburg Campus of HACC, Central Pennsylvania’s Community College, from Sept. 2 – Sept. 26. A lecture will be held on Sept. 25 at 6 p.m. in Whitaker 214 followed by a reception at the gallery.
Hoover’s recent paintings begin as encounters in landscapes, particularly those marked by geological “deep time.” They bear witness to human interventions in the landscape, and to our interactions with the non-human world. Such interventions reify systems of control and speak to notions of access — specifically, who have access to nature. Portions of the picture plane seem to be torn away or excised, revealing flat passages of chromatic grays, blacks, and browns. These interruptions and barriers prevent the viewer from fully entering or navigating the space. Competing visual languages and surfaces reflect our experience of the land we inhabit, our interactions with what is considered "wild," and the varying degrees to which our encounters with nature are mediated. Given the rift between human and non-human worlds, how should we proceed? How might we live well within these disrupted spaces? Part meditation, part metaphor, part elegy, these landscapes explore the anxiety, despair, terror, and joy which characterize our shared precarity.
Lillian Bayley Hoover's work appears in public collections including the Baltimore Museum of Art, Weatherspoon Art Museum (Greensboro, NC), and the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities. She is the recipient of a Pollock-Krasner Grant, the Bethesda Urban Partnership's Trawick Award, multiple grants from the Maryland State Arts Council, a travel grant from Philadelphia’s Center for Emerging Visual Artists, and fellowships to attend residencies at Vermont Studio Center, Monson Arts Center, and Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. Her work has been featured on the cover of New American Paintings. She has had solo exhibitions at MoCA Arlington (Arlington, VA), Goya Contemporary (Baltimore, MD), BlackRock Center for the Arts (Germantown, MD), and VisArts (Rockville, MD), among other venues. Hoover holds an MFA from Maryland Institute College of Art and a BFA from University of North Carolina Asheville. She teaches at Towson University.
The Rose Lehrman Art Gallery hours are 11 a.m.-3 p.m., Monday-Friday, Tuesday and Thursday 5 p.m.-7 p.m., or by appointment.
