Peter Duyan’s photography is focused on perception of space, light and color. His images question the way we perceive a horizon line in landscape photographs, exploring the photographic filters that separate the artist, the art and the viewer from a direct visual experience. Duyan is a current student in the MFA Photography, Video and Related Media Department.
In his painting The Many-Worlds Interpretation, Peter Gregorio creates a fractured, monotone architectural landscape. Using a combination of dark oil paints and subtle charcoal lines over a skin-like wash, Gregorio’s treatment of negative and positive space works as an interpretation of parallel universes. Gregorio is a current student in the MFA Fine Arts Department.
Seth Lambert gives the traditional grid form a contemporary twist in his minimalist abstract photographs. Lambert scans objects such as hair, water and sand and creates digital grids—examining the impulse to order our perceptions. He explains, “The grid is a tool. It manages to be limited and limitless, positive and negative, and material and spiritual. It is at once the presentation of organization and the representation of the process of organizing.” Lambert is a current student in the MFA Photography, Video and Related Media Department.
Anatole Shaw’s photographs explore how a microcosm reflects the macrocosm. His large, minimalist color prints evoke a monumental sense of abstraction while retaining references to nature. In the artist words, "The edges in these pictures are like the frontiers we constantly invent—the horizons of consciousness that we grasp at, defining the shape of our world." Shaw is a current student in the BFA Photography Department.
