Linda Mitchell

Fall MFA Show featuring Shaun C. Whiteside
November 4 December 16
Reception: November 4, 5 7 pm
Shaun C. Whiteside works with acrylic paint in a style most influenced by Abstract Expressionism, with an emphasis on the metaphysical and emotional realm rather than on optical reality. Using several layers of thin glazes, partially washed away, he creates oppressively dense atmospheric environments with biomorphic, liquid shapes within them. Whiteside graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts from Christopher Newport University in 2007 before coming to Radford University to earn a Master of Fine Arts degree. He has recently been awarded both a Best in Show at the Peninsula Fine Arts Center's 2010 Biennial Exhibition as well as a 2011-2012 VMFA Fellowship grant, and his works are in several private collections across Virginia.

Reproducing the History of Photography
January 23 February 2
This is an exhibition by students enrolled in ARTH 423/ART 551 (History of Photographic Media and Camera Arts) during fall 2011. Students were asked to choose a photographer whose work interested them, try to replicate that work using the same technology and processes, and then apply those techniques to a work of their own. The show contains the replications, the original work, and a brief statement about the photographer chosen by each student. It's a great introduction to photography from the 19th and 20th centuries as well as a show with some examples of unique and unusual student work by photography majors at RU.
