Fine Arts Center Gallery

The Fine Arts Center Gallery will be closed December 20 – January 4. Best wishes for a peaceful holiday season!

Currently featured in the Fine Arts Gallery are drawings and prints by Jon Swindler, Assistant Professor of Art at the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia in Athens. Swindler’s recent work includes graphite and latex drawings on paper and several series of mixed media relief prints. His large-scale works in woodcut, stencils and chine colle’ utilize recognizable – but not quite familiar – symbols to interpret his view of the suburban landscape. Two series of etchings employ similar graphic symbolism but with the addition of broader color. A group of intimate-scale lithographs complete the range of the exhibition. “New Hybrids: Ink & Graphite” runs December 3 through January 23, 2009. (NOTE: The Fine Arts Gallery will be closed during the University’s Winter Break, December 20 – January 4)

Jon Swindler received a BFA in printmaking and art education from Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kansas and earned an MFA in printmaking and drawing from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale.
