| From January 24 to March 4, the Harold B. Lemmerman Gallery and Visual Arts Gallery are simultaneously exhibiting FLESH ART, a show curated by NJCU art historian Prof. José Rodeiro and featuring work by a dozen artists that employ flesh as subject matter and demonstrate the realm of possibilities in negotiating figuration and abstraction (here's a recent interview with Prof. Rodeiro discussing the exhibit).
|
| This multimedia exhibition explores how selected artists delve into the meaning and implications of flesh on many levels through painting, sculpture, photography, installation, and video. |
| This unique exhibition will feature three never before seen paintings by renowned painter, Joan Semmel, who, since the early-1970s, has created innovative flesh-based paintings and is considered a pivotal figure in Flesh Art. Also featured are NJCU’s eminent retired NJCU professor Ben Jones, who is a prominent figure in African-American art and NJCU professor and acclaimed sculptor Herb Rosenberg.
|
| he exhibition is greatly diversified by original works by Hanneline Røgeberg; strikingly visceral installation and multimedia works by Babs Reingold; intimate oil paintings by Jen Mazza; cityscapes incorporating flesh in media by John Hardy; and video art by Giuseppe Satta of Italy. Furthermore.
|
| We are also proud and grateful to include works by NJCU alumni, Matthew Lahm, William Coronado, Sandra Silva and Olga Cruz. All of these pieces demonstrate a legacy of “FLESH ART.”
