'Bacon Sunrise' Featured in the Park National Bank Gallery at UC Clermont

The watercolor exhibit, Bacon Sunrise, will be featured in the Park National Bank Art Gallery at UC Clermont College from August 3-27.

 

Artist Monika Malewska exhibits large scale watercolors depicting various wreath-like arrangements made of bacon. “I enjoy combining the formal elegance of design with the recognizable banality of bacon, along with the surreal and absurd accompaniment of other decorative elements such as flowers, butterflies and fruits. The arrangements are playful and whimsical in a Rococo fashion but also grotesque, states the artist,” said Malewska. 

 

Malewska is an associate professor of art at Juniata College in Huntingdon, Pa. She earned a master’s of fine arts degree from the University of Texas.

 

The Park National Bank Art Gallery is located in the Snyder building on the UC Clermont College campus in Batavia at 4200 Clermont College Drive. Summer gallery hours are Monday-Thursday 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. The gallery is closed weekends.
