Featuring work by spring 2010 MFA candidates Eric Bork, Jason Miller, Denice Rhodes, Raleigh Rodger, and Ryan Vanderley.
About the candidates:
Eric Bork's recent works investigate the subject couples of long term relationships. The works featured in this exhibition are large scale oil paintings arranged as diptychs. Each painting depicts a figure in the environment of their shared domestic space, and leave the viewer to imagine the conversations between them.
Jason Miller's works are typically large scale digital photomontages in which he arranges a very imaginative array of subjects together within a single composition. The resulting images read as bizarre grand narratives that are surreal, dark, and whimsical all at once.
Denice Rhodes is a sculptor working with installation. Her recent work aims to explore the theme of the spiritual bond between father and daughter. Her thesis work is based on the fairytale The Road to Oz, and employs the image of shoes as a metaphor to explore this theme, as well as ideas power, value, holiness, and culture.
Raleigh Rodger uses photography to explore the realm of memory by engaging habitual responses from her viewers. For this body of work, she has chosen to use a toy film camera, which results in a photograph with a nostalgic feeling. Using this technique, Rodger aims to explore the whimical, mystical aspects of mundane, everyday life.
Ryan Vanderley is a painter who works in both abstract and realistic style, and is especially interested in the way these two modes of painting inform one another. His thesis work is a series of realistic paintings that depict figures interacting with a portrait of the infamous modern art critic Clement Greenberg. These paintings are meant to tell about Vanderley's thoughts on his process.
