“He examines how such art has acquired recognition for his aesthetics and his impact on modern art movements,” he said. “Speech will also immerse itself in the themes of self-expression, authenticity, creativity and mental illness, and the evolutionary definition of art itself.”
“This is an exciting year for the window of artists from the Health Sciences campus, while we are celebrating our 20th year,” added the president of the HSC Artist showcase, Jodi Jameson. “In 2005, the first showcase was a solo exhibition, starring the paintings of Professor Associate Emeritus and local artist Paul Brand. Since then, the window has expanded and many of the same artists – Dr. Brand inclusive – continue to participate year after year. We owe the longevity of the window of these artists and their exquisite talents. »»
The reception and the conference are free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be available.
