TROY, Ala. (TROJANVISION<\/a>) \u2014 Troy University’s International Arts Center<\/a> (IAC) has worked to bring students and staff two new galleries as part of its rotating exhibits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two exhibitions are named “So Near, So Far<\/a>” by Daniel White and “Transience: Trace and Erasure in Lost Landscapes” by Angel Fernandez and Winter Rusiloski.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The art pieces consist of oil paintings, assemblages, statues, and abstract paintings.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Art is everything,” said Angel Fernandez, a sculpture and educator from Texas. “Art is life, the artwork that I make is my identity.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Artists hope to not only share their artwork but also inspire students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 “If it’s an art student I hope it inspires them,” said Daniel White, an oil painter and museum director from Tuscaloosa, Alabama. “I hope it helps them keep being creative and to express themselves. If it’s a person from the public I just hope they have a great evening and enjoy the work.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0The artists also hope their artwork will not only bring people together, but also shed light on the art itself and add meaning to the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 “The arts in general like dance and music and writing, they’re all ways for us to express ideas, emotions, thoughts on humanity,” said Winter Rusiloski, a contemporary artist from Texas.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 They also hope to convey other messages about labor, life, and childhood.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If their is one thing that viewers walk away with perhaps an appreciation for this soil that we share,” said Fernandez. “There’s a memory, there’s a history. It’s not always beautiful, it’s not always pleasant. But you know none of our histories I think are pleasant.”\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students have their own perspective of the pieces ranging from philosophical to just enjoying the childlike nostalgia. Some even enjoyed the art solely because it looked funny. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 When asked about her favorite piece, Makayla Allen, a senior art education major from Albertville, Alabama said, “Probably Sisyphus tires. That one’s just really cool, pointing back to like Greek mythology, and just that never ending battle with labor.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rotating exhibits will be here until November. Guests interested in seeing the galleries can visit the international art center any day until then. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
