November 01, 2018-December 15, 2018 Location: Robert F. DeCaprio Art Gallery, Moraine Valley Community College Reception: Thursday, Nov. 8, 10:30 a.m.-Noon Artist Talk: 11 a.m. In Toby Zallman’s sculptures there is always a combination of unrelated materials to represent dialectical oppositions such as hard/soft, ephemeral/enduring, open/closed and natural/fabricated. Since 2004, she has been using some form of recycled material as the basis for her pieces. The ubiquitous presence of plastic bags in our lives inspired the most recent sculpture and drawings. Their usefulness belies the damage that they wreak on the environment. The newest work combines the drawings and sculpture into multimedia installations.  LAURIE WESSMAN LEBRETON
September 27, 2018-October 26, 2018 Location: Robert F. DeCaprio Art Gallery, Moraine Valley Community College Reception: Thursday, Sept, 27, 10:30 a.m.-Noon Artist Talk: 11 a.m. To Honor and Comfort is Laurie LeBreton’s series of paper tapestries, each a kind of meditation or prayer. Some reach out to a greater power (Worshipping with Red, Instructions for a Ritual, and Homage to the Goddess). Others reach out to a particular person (Solace for Pablo) or refer to an important time (Beverly Shores). In the atrium, Evidence of Things Unseen, a related exhibition, shows pulp paintings that are a fusion of the many different altars in the world.  Artist Mays Mayhew will be exhibiting her graphite works that explore different doppelganger forms in the opening exhibition of the fall semester at the SXU Gallery (Located in L-114 of the Warde Academic Center). On view from August 27 to September 18, the work examines double-mindedness, narcissism, spiritualism, introspection and fearlessness.
Mays Mayhew says about her work, “Using pencil on paper, my approach is as simple as my tools. I use the grayscale of graphite to keep the image open-ended for the viewer to mirror, creating a new tangible doppelganger. Ultimately, my art is to create provocative images about the human condition, beautifully.” Hear more from the artist directly as she presents her work at a reception in the SXU Gallery on Wednesday, September 12 at 3:30 p.m. Born and raised on a farm in Wisconsin, Mayhew currently resides in Aurora (west of Chicago, IL) with her husband and two children. She studied studio arts at UW – Madison, WI, Rhode Island School of Design, and in Italy. She has had over 50 exhibitions in 20 years, most notably, Pulse Contemporary Art Fair during Art Basel, Miami. For more details and to see more artwork, visit www.MaysMayhew.com.  ELIZABETH / SIDEBOTHAM
August 13, 2018-September 22, 2018 Location: Robert F. DeCaprio Art Gallery, Moraine Valley Community College Reception: Thursday, Aug. 30, 10 a.m.-Noon Artist Talk: 11 a.m. Elizabeth/Sidebotham embraces the paradox presented by the intersection of a traditional domestic landscape and artistic productivity. Fragility interplays with strength and reverence replaces frivolity. The materials, forms, and modes of productions are infused with memory and sentimentality and exist in a state of premature nostalgia. There is profundity in the banal, but it is also spectacularly boring. Elizabeth/Sidebotham strives to capture this contradiction. The gallery exhibition will continue into the atrium. June 6-Aug. 1
Reception: June 9, 1-3 p.m. Summer Gallery Hours: Mon.-Thurs. 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. The local community is invited to submit artworks for this annual juried exhibition with cash prizes for the “Best of Show” artwork. A call for entries begins in April 2018 and can be found online and at the Fine and Performing Arts Center. Robert F. DeCaprio Art Gallery Fine and Performing Arts Center Moraine Valley Community College 9000 W. College Pkwy. Palos Hills, IL 60465-2478 |
