Perspective & Paradigm



Two Columns Gallery and the Fine Arts Department at Ringling College of Art and Design invites you to Perspective & Paradigm, a senior thesis exhibition by Danielle Colón, Mackenzie Vartanian, Yilmaz Sazak, Tammy Zeitler, and Sara Brady.

Through utilizing the mediums of painting, sculpture, and digital imagery, the artists present a diverse range of work concerning the mental and physical spaces individuals choose to occupy. We are living in a fast-paced world where many moments and issues can be overlooked, intentionally or otherwise. Perspective & Paradigm was conceived not from a desire to answer questions, but to create them.

Perspective & Paradigm is on open April 1 to  April 4 from noon-3pm.  Please come to the reception on Friday, April 3, 2015 from 7pm-9pm.

Echo

Two Columns is pleased to present ECHO​, an exhibition featuring the works of Corey Allen, Carrianne Bullard, Dana Dojka, and Kyler Duhé. This exhibition consists of a dozen pieces highlighting concepts relating to both acts and processes of repetition. ECHO​ is presented through multiple mediums, including: video, installation, painting, and printmaking. For artists Duhé and Allen, their practices rely upon recurring rhythmic gestures found in motions like painting (for the former) or sewing (for the latter) in order to create their individual artworks. Similarly, Dojka is a printmaker who utilizes the methods of duplication and replication inherent to the medium to optimize her imagery. Finally, in many ways, Bullard simply redefines the effort by relying on the emulation of natural processes in sculpted images.

ECHO​ is formed from diverse personalities which share a collective motif. This presentation explores how four emerging artists delve into personal motivations to display the slippage of recalled memories, naturally occurring structures over time, the vulnerability and strength captured in intimate portraiture, and the creation of a spontaneously­formulated experience. Their work focuses on generating a personal sensation for the viewer that echoes the intent of the artists upon close examination.

Allen was born in Sarasota, Florida, Bullard born in Lakeland, Florida, Dojka born in Tampa, Florida, and Duhé born in New Orleans, Louisiana. They are all receiving their BFA from Ringling College of Art and Design in May 2015.


The reception for the artists will be held on March 20​ from 7:00 - ­9:00 pm. The show will be open March 17-21.
