JUROR’S STATEMENT:

It was an honor to juror the 2020 Student Exhibition at Drake University. Thank you for allowing me to participate in your progress, both in your exploration of mediums and concepts. The concepts and techniques in this exhibition embody strong voices of experimentation and perspective pertinent to the larger conversation of art and culture. Congratulations to those who were selected as your work shows breadth and ambition.

You are artists and designers in the NOW and your voice is important to the contemporary conversation of art making.  I commend ALL who entered. It takes courage to be an artist; not only to make work, but also to show it. Putting your work, as an extension of yourself, out to be critiqued is hard.  I applaud all those who took that risk. Continue to try and try again in your artistic practice. Continue.

Rachel Merrill, 2019 Iowa Artist Fellow & Associate Professor of Art & Design at Grand View University

DRIP PAINTINGS IN THE STYLE OF JACKSON POLLOCK

On display March 3 – March 22, 2020, in the Weeks Gallery in the Harmon Fine Arts Center at Drake University.

This is an exhibition of paintings created by teams of students in the Material World of Art course. After an introduction to Pollock’s life and work including photos and films of the famed US artist in the act of painting, the artists fashioned their own responses using Pollock’s style.
