Studio Art Thesis Exhibition Comes to Frederick R. Weisman Museum
The Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art at Pepperdine University will exhibit Is This It: The Studio Art Thesis Exhibition from Thursday, April 12 through Saturday, April 28, 2018. Is This It will feature works by seven artists who are graduating from Pepperdine's Seaver College with BA degrees in Studio Art. There will be a public reception to meet the artists on Thursday, April 12 from 5-8 p.m. The student artists include Reagen Brewster, Grant McCutchen, Iris Lee, Carissa Mosley, Peau Porotesano, Angelica Ramos, and Julia Solazzo.
The work displayed will include paintings and installation, as well as reflective concept art focused on social commentary.
"The show will engage all the senses; we have everything from defaced currency to immersive installation work. The variety should make for a rich dialogue between viewer and artist," artist Carissa Mosley said. Mosley has spent her senior year exploring indigenous plant species and video-installation work.
"Throughout college, people have asked me what my major is, and so far, I've only been able to tell them. I'm excited to finally show them," illustrator and installation artist Peau Porotesano said.
For these rising artists, this show represents the culmination of four years of work. "Not only is this our last show, it's also work that we have been developing for the last four years," painter Julia Solazzo said. "The title, Is This It, reflects on the finality of the show for our undergraduate careers, and the beginning of our stepping out as rising artists."
