An art exhibition featuring Rebecca Litt will begin this Monday in the Bry Art Gallery.
On display at the Art Exhibition will be a collection of pieces entitled “False Fortress” by Rebecca Litt.
“False Fortress” is a collection of pieces that involve a variety of different human figures (both male and female) that are captured in various places and settings doing everyday things.
The “False Fºortress” collection uses very warm colors in settings and background to contrast with the neutral colors used in the human figures. The media used to create these pieces consists of canvas and oil paints.
Litt is an accomplished artist who received her B.A. in political science in 2001 from Tufts University in Medford, Mass.
Litt also received a B.F.A. in painting from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Mass., in 2001 as well as a M.F.A. in painting from the Indiana University School of Fine Arts in 2007.
Litt has been featured in numerous exhibitions such as the Life Inside and Out Exhibition in New York, N.Y. in 2012 as well as Contemporaries held at the Ogunquit Museum of American Art in Ogunquit, Maine and Surrealism at Factory Fresh Gallery in Brooklyn, N.Y., in 2011.
“I think that this will be a great event for those students who love dance and art. I am planning to go visit the gallery at least one day while the exhibition is there,” said senior track and field athlete Jennifer Drew.
“I’ve seen the performing arts professor down to the students perform several times and it is always entertaining,” said junior biology major Lavarian Tillman.
Students and faculty, as well as citizens of the community, will be in attendance, and everyone is encouraged to come out and indulge in the Arts.
The Exhibition will be open for viewing from Sept. 24 until Nov. 15.
The Bry Art Gallery is open Monday-Thursday 8-5 p.m. and 8 a.m.-12 p.m. on Friday.
