Monique Janssen-Belitz, "Unfolding Dreams", Jan. 7 - Feb. 7


The Lane Community College Art Gallery is proud to present the exhibition, Unfolding Dreams, by well-traveled artist, Monique Janssen-Belitz, who currently resides and teaches in Crete, Nebraska.

“My life is a collection of landscapes, colored by atmosphere and eloquent light. Immersed in the awareness of the transience of life and illusory promises of happiness, the land always offers more, something beyond eternity, beyond hope and beyond disappointments. In landscapes that are so huge you could lose yourself in them; becoming an inconsequential speck of dust as part of a larger-than-life orchestra celebrating the joy of nature. Variety inside repetition; multiples generate textures; textures morph into forms; forms create depth. This inter-connectedness mirrors the forces, which shaped the land over time. Its geological genesis etched the surface as did the ebb and flow of cultural sediment and weathered erosion.”

The show runs from January 7th to February 7th. A lecture will take place on Thursday, January 17th, beginning at 3:00 with a reception immediately following. The lecture and reception are free and open to the public. The gallery is located in building 11 on the main campus of Lane Community College, 4000 E. 30th Avenue. Eugene, OR. There is no charge for admission. The Art and Applied Design Department phone number is 541-463-5409.

Zina Mussmann, "Under the Sun", Jan. 7 - Feb. 7


The Lane Community College Art Gallery is proud to present the exhibition, Under the Sun, by mid-western artist, Zina Mussmann.

Zina Mussmann was born in Milwaukee and received a BFA in Painting and Drawing from UWM's Peck School of the Arts in 2002. She went on to complete her MFA in Painting at Northern Illinois University in 2008. Zina has exhibited nationally in cities including Milwaukee, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Sacramento, and Chicago. Her work was recently featured in the Manifest International Painting Annual 1, which was published in late 2011. Currently, Zina is the Co-Director of greymatter, an artist run initiative that she established in 2011 with artist Rachel Quirk.

“My process involves the collection and appropriation of images and words from various ephemera, such as photographs, documents and film. I am interested in de-contextualizing this information and re-contextualizing it into mixed media works. These new constructions are a hybrid of drawing, painting, and collage that create ambiguous meanings which complicate understanding. I allow the work to exist in a state of absurdity by choosing to exclude certain information that is vital to the interpretation of the images. The work becomes more about questions than answers and alludes to the fact that, as humans, we can never really find real truth, only temporary conclusions. That really, there is nothing new under the sun.”

The show runs from January 7th to February 7th. The gallery is located in building 11 on the main campus of Lane Community College, 4000 E. 30th Avenue, Eugene, OR. There is no charge for admission. The Art and Applied Design Department phone number is 541-463-5409.

JS Bird Exhibit - "Psyche" - Opens November 13



The Lane Community College Art Gallery is proud to present the sabbatical exhibition, Psyche by art faculty, JS Bird.

JS Bird is a painting instructor for the Department of Art and Applied Design at Lane Community College. Following a recent sabbatical, JS has been producing a new body of work exploring the myth of Psyche and Eros…using  “iconographic female images of Pop culture to cast in the role of Psyche, famous women who are culturally associated with beauty and sexuality.  While these icons are associated with sexuality and fantasy, there actually is no relationship between the icon and the viewer, except what lives inside the viewers head.”

In discussing his art as it relates to his audience, JS states, ”In most cases art is neutral, it is an object, (objectified) yet the viewer creates a relationship with the art only by looking at it.  While adopting pop culture’s pictorial conventions of sexuality, I am relying on context to transform the images into a form that transcends the very conventions utilized.  Such an overt, embellished fantasy, perhaps, holds within it, the capacity to force the viewer to confront, rather than indulge in, ones desire, or rejection, of the image.
The show runs from November 13th through December 6th. A sabbatical talk and closing reception will take place on Thursday, November 29th, beginning at 4:00 pm with a reception immediately following at 5:00. The lecture and reception are free and open to the public. The gallery is located in building 11 on the main campus, 4000 E. 30th Avenue. There is no charge for admission. The Art and Applied Design Department phone number is 541-463-5409.

Gina Hartmann - Sentiments, Oct. 15 - Dec. 6



The Lane Community College Art Gallery is proud to present the exhibition, Sentiments by Portland artist, Gina Hartmann.

Gina Hartman is a working artist living in Portland, Oregon.  Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, she has made her way to Portland after living briefly in California, New York, England.  She is a well-known sculptor, writer and multimedia artist known for traditional forms and exhibit ecosystems.

“My work has moved from the personal to the universal within the exploration of my individual vision. There is a consistent theme found in the work: a conviction to convey our relationships to ourselves, each other, and to the world. In essence, the human condition. Despite diversities in cultures we all feel, breathe and search for that which will ultimately provide us sustenance. There is a need to share with others that heightened awareness; our humanity, if just for one moment.”

The show runs from October 15th through December 6th. A lecture will take place on Thursday, October 25th, beginning at 3:00 with a reception immediately following. The lecture and reception are free and open to the public. The gallery is located in building 11 on the main campus of Lane Community College, 4000 E. 30th Avenue. There is no charge for admission.

"balance" - Anna Stehle and Justin Stuck - May 7-24

The Lane Community College Art Gallery is proud to present “balance”, a two-person show featuring artists and Lane Community College Studio Technicians, Justin Stuck and Anna Stehle. Justin works in the sculpture studio and Anna works in the ceramics studio within the Department of Art and Applied Design. The exhibition consists of both sculpture and ceramics, along with installation work.

When asked about her current work for this exhibition, Anna stated, “Finding a balance between my love of making pots and the countless daily events in my life has been a struggle over the last couple of years. With family, work, friends and all that goes along with that, pottery has taken a back seat. I have come into this new chapter in my life with pottery gradually, seeking a balance along the way.”

Justin says his work is being “drawing from my personal experiences I hope to tap into “something honest and real”, which translates universally, “the reality of human experience,” to others.”

The show runs from May 7th to May 24th. A lecture featuring both artists will be held on May 10th at 3:00 pm with a reception immediately following. The gallery is located in building 11 on LCC's main campus, 4000 E. 30th Avenue in Eugene, Oregon. There is no charge for admission.

League of Innovation Winners

 
We have sumitted the work of five students for the League of Innovation Competition. We  will keep everyone posted as our students move through the national competition.



Candice Westberg:  "I enjoy the moment when viewers realize that those aren’t living birds that adorn my pot. It opens a dialogue that allows me to share their stories. This piece features thirteen bird species that were brought to extinction by man’s direct involvement. It is my attempt at honoring their lives."



Daniel Balter:  My preferred medium is oil paint. I first create an under painting to establish the values then I use a series of colored glazes over the under painting; this is the same technique that was used by the Old Masters. I use direct observation and my imagination to create images that include vintage, tin toy robots and Japanese vinyl monsters. My paintings explore universal themes such as love and heartbreak, isolation and alienation, domestic violence and triumph in the face of fear. 



 

Douglas Wiltshire "Evolutionary Pull":  It is my contention that Art represents feeling. That is a powerful thing, to invoke passion and the desire to make things better. Evolutionary Pull is an exploration of our connection to our primal selves and how our past affects our present. 



Oktober Comstock: “Reflections” is a self-portrait. Not many people like to do self-portraits; perhaps as an artist or even a human being it becomes difficult to document what we see in the mirror. But I think that it is important to be willing to dive deeper into our reflection and attempt to understand what makes us tick.



Ramey McAlezander: I didn’t set out with a real theme for my paintings. I think this is reflection of my inner thoughts. I am always expressing my unspoken words through my paintings. I can’t say where my art is going but I do know I will continue to learn and grow as an artist. I think there is an endless quest in art.

3 Points North - Rob Beishline, Daryn Lowman and Andreas Salzman, April 2 - June 14

The Lane Community College Art Gallery is proud to
present “3 Points North ”, a three-person exhibition
featuring works in ceramic, sculpture and mixed media. The featured artists are: Rob Beishline, a ceramic professor at Whatcom Community College, Bellinghan Washington; Daryn Lowman, a ceramics professor at Hibbing Community College, Hibbing Minnesota and Andreas Salzman, a ceramics and sculpture professor at Lane Community College, Eugene Oregon.

Rob Beishline’s work uses birds and animals to create experiences for himself and the viewer, “I do not see the pieces as metaphors, but realize that they could be read that way. I can identify with animals and am tempted to try to read myself in them, but the really valuable moments are when I can stop and look in silence.”

Daryn Lowman’s pottery and the use of the vessel create a dialogue reflecting time. “ I am drawn to the exploratory manner of working with ceramic processes. With playful sensibilities and direct decisions, my work plays on the whimsy of the soft material, and the sharpness of the durable fired surface. I like to ask questions about time, as it reflects our sense of new and used, cherished and abandoned.”

Andreas Salzman’s mixed media sculpture reflects the world in which he lives. “As an artist I feel that I can only talk about the issues of which I am passionate. The most important issues in my life are the relationships I have with the people around me. I try to illustrate the innermost feelings and emotions that are a result of the roles and decisions within my life. I include specific evidence of my journey to this state so I can build a sense of personal ownership of the content of my work.”

The show runs from April 2 through June 14.

The gallery is located in building 11 on main campus, 4000 E. 30th Avenue in Eugene, Oregon. There is no charge for admission. The Art and Applied Design Department phone number is 463-5409.

Public Works and Private Thoughts, Lee Imonen Exhibit, 2/27-3/22

The Lane Community College Art Gallery is proud to present the exhibition, Public Works and Private Thoughts, by sculptor and Art instructor, Lee Imonen.  The show runs from February 27th to March 22nd. A lecture will take place on Thursday, March 1st, beginning at 4:30 with a reception immediately following. The lecture and reception are free and open to the public.

Lee Imonen is a well-known Northwest sculptor with many public works throughout the state of Oregon. This exhibition will showcase work and reflections compiled from a recent sabbatical. As stated by the artist, “Public Work & Private Thoughts brings together two separate but related directions in my studio practice over the past decade.” 

In discussing both aspects for this exhibition Lee had this to say in regards to the public work aspect, “I have begun thinking about my public sculptures as research projects; opportunities for understanding a place, material, culture or organization in a more comprehensive way. My goal is to shift the direction of public work away from sculpture that is simply placed in the public realm, to work that not only engages the public, but equally speaks of its physical, historical and cultural environment.”

The intent of the pieces representing private thoughts, Imonen feels, ”these pieces are more intimate, often showing only a framed portion of the original object, like sculptural snapshots taken from close-up.”

The gallery is located in Building 11 on the main campus of Lane Community College, 4000 E. 30th Avenue. There is no charge for admission. The Art and Applied Design Department phone number is 541-463-5409.
