Six local and regional artists are a part of Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology’s fall exhibit in Moench Hall.
They are Bekki Canine, Philip Dees, Suzanna Hendrix, Brian Charles Johnson, Sam Morlan and Todd Stokes. This group includes four painters, a glass artist/photographer and a Terre Haute artist known for his dynamic steel sculptures.
The reception to recognize these artists is 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Oct. 24 on Moench Hall’s first and second floors. Admission is free and open to all ages; refreshments will be provided.
On the first floor visitors will find paintings by Brian Charles Johnson, an artist from Austin, Indiana, known for his evocative paintings that often reflect his personal struggles and triumphs. His paintings are noted for their vibrant use of color and their ability to capture the beauty of Southern Indiana’s landscapes, particularly during dawn and twilight.
Sam Morlan, a recent MFA grad from Indiana State University, exhibits her paintings in the nearby stairwell, and they hold some of the same descriptors with textured paint and vibrancy, and her work is almost entirely over-sized paintings.
Suzanna Hendrix, also featured on our first floor, paints delicate watercolors of familiar local city and rural scenes, and she’s excellent at capturing the likeness of her subjects.
Bekki Canine’s works are in the charming, gold oval framed paintings in our second-floor study area. Her work is always well-researched and meaningful, and she states, “In my paintings, animals often take on the role of people.”
Philip Dees has spent years honing his skills as a welder professionally and for his art. You’ll see his sculptures on the pedestals along the top floor of Moench — also in front of Hadley Hall and on the front lawn of Olin Hall.
Todd Stokes is sharing his etched glass art and photography. His artwork has a tendency to fall into two categories, or two separate bodies of work. One that represents that “simple break” where we stop to notice, to realize what we’re given. Then a second that celebrates the creative energy that brought it all together.
The works will be on display through Mondays through Fridays, 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., through Dec. 20. For more information about the exhibit, contact Christy Brinkman-Robertson, 812-877-8452, [email protected].
