MURRAY, Ky. 鈥� 澳门开奖结果鈥檚 Department of Art & Design and University Galleries are pleased to present IGNITION, recent paintings and drawings by Jason Stout. The works in the exhibit were selected from Stout鈥檚 鈥淐loud Composition Series鈥� and will be on display through February 17 in the Clara M. Eagle Main Gallery. Stout will also give an artist talk about his work on Tuesday, February 9, at 5:30 p.m. via Zoom.
鈥淛ason Stout鈥檚 鈥楥loud Composition Series鈥� deals with conflict and turbulence as well as notions of political strife, instigators, misinformation, vices, struggle, and perceptions of living in the American South,鈥� states T. Michael Martin, curator and director of University Galleries. 鈥淪tout鈥檚 work also incorporates intense color, reconfigures cultural icons, and plays with visual metaphors that analyze the narrative of existence in our modern time.鈥�
Stout received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in studio art from the University of Tennessee at Martin in 2001 and a Master of Fine Arts degree in painting from the University of Texas at San Antonio in 2004. His work exists in several private and public collections, including the University of West Georgia, Jacksonville State University and the University of Tennessee at Martin.
