Visit Rowan College of South Jersey (RCSJ) to explore the winter art exhibit, Skin Deep. This thought-provoking exhibit celebrates the artwork created by tattoo artists from the South Jersey area and is inspired by the art of tattooing.
从现在到周五, 3月10日, RCSJ will feature artwork created by Philadelphia-based artist, Deborah Morris Zakheim and tattoo artists from the surrounding South Jersey and Philadelphia areas. The exhibit is being held in the Dr. Ross Beitzel Art Gallery located in the Eugene J. McCaffrey College Center on RCSJ's 威尼斯人注册 campus.
The Main Gallery will feature the collective work of local tattoo artists, artists working on obtaining a tattoo apprenticeship, or those who have been influenced by the art of tattoos. This exhibit was created with the hope of bringing more awareness to the creative talents of tattoo artists. Many of these individuals have artistic backgrounds including bachelor's degrees in fine arts or have previously worked as fine artists before picking up a tattoo machine.
The artists spotlighted in this space, 和扎克海姆一起, 包括Danielle Cartier, 罗伯钱伯斯, 梅丽莎·康利, Milja丹, 阿什利·埃文斯, 本质汉普顿, 加上更多的.
The Upper Mezzanine Gallery will showcase Zakheim's work which boasts a series of portraits featuring tattooed individuals. Her paintings are inspired by women who collect artwork as lines of ink and areas of color under their skin.
“My paintings are storytelling of the psychological sort,“萨克海姆 stated. “They are not fixed stories; every detail is exacting of real consequence, but for the viewer to complete with their own eyes."
“I've always wanted to create work that is about the people that surround me and tell their stories,她接着说. “I never wanted to just paint a painting – I want to tell a story."
2月1日星期一. 13，下午1点.m., Zakheim will also be featured for an artist talk at the gallery. There she will discuss the intricacies and thought processes that go into her work.
Attendees will discover “Why I've chosen to paint these paintings of women with their tattoos and their significance and what it means in today's culture,“萨克海姆, who also loves cooking and spending time with her grandchildren, 披露. “They'll also learn how I paint, how I find my subjects, and how I paint them."
This event is open to the public and no registration is required. Both exhibits run until 3月10日. 医生诊所的营业时间. Ross Beitzel Art Gallery are Monday through Friday 8 a.m. 到晚上9点.m. No appointment necessary and there is no cost to attend the gallery.
