Union College's Mandeville Gallery will feature the exhibition “Inside/Outside: Paintings and Drawings by Bruce McColl and Don Resnick.”Inside/Outside runs from July 21 through September 25 at the Mandeville Gallery in Union College's Nott Memorial.
The gallery hours are daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The artists' reception, with a question and answer format, will be Thursday, September 22, from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at the Nott Memorial.
“We like the idea of pairing two artists whose styles on the surface seem to be quite different, but their approaches to art, and their use of color especially, is quite similar” said Rachel Seligman, director of the Mandeville Gallery.
Resnick's work deals with themes of nature, the outdoors and the observable world, while McColl focuses on interiors and created worlds.
“The subject matter and inspiration for my paintings is the intense experience of the particular light and space of a place, at a unique moment,” said Don Resnick. “Painting is my way of sharing what I have seen and experienced.”
McColl explores the subject of domestic and personal interiority: working from sources like observation, drawings, and memory. The resulting paintings represent his experience of time, place, and people rendered in abstract, and largely, poetical terms.
