* The Kruglak Gallery is closed because the building is being remodeled. We are looking forward to the opening of our brand new gallery in the Spring of 2025 adjacent to the Art Department and Arts Media Center.
Through My Lens
A virtual art exhibit
The practice of the artists in this show is diverse and runs the gamut from historic processes to experimental digital systems. “Through My Lens” features the art of Christopher Ferreria, Lauren Greenwald, CJ Heyliger, Aaron Pedro, Benjamin Poarch.
Ferreria works both in color and black and white and use both abstract and representational imagery to explore and understand the tensions between the public and private dimensions of identity formation, and perception in society. Greenwald is a visual artist working in photography and video, using a range of traditional and contemporary methods to explore landscape, perception, and the experiential. Heyliger's interest lies in using the camera and light-sensitive material to investigate the boundaries of photographic description and human perception. In response to the advances in artificial intelligence and ideas of perfection, he has deliberately created “flawed” works—photographs that celebrate the eccentricities of photographic material, or making images that are predicated on the human limitations of the camera operator. Pedro is deeply attuned to his surroundings. The ocean, in particular, is his greatest muse. Photographing the ocean at dusk, he uses long exposure techniques to emphasize the movement of waves and clouds. Through photo-compositing, blending portraiture with landscapes and seascapes, he creates photographs that evoke both emotion and conceptual art, offering a new perspective on scenic photography. Poarch uses a unique process to create his images called a tintype. A tintype is a photograph made by creating a direct positive on a thin sheet of metal.
