DAAP Galleries Fall Exhibitions Bring Together the Creative Minds of Cincinnati Artist Educators

The DAAP Galleries open their fall season featuring work from some of the Cincinnati area’s leading artist educators. In the

Dorothy W. and C. Lawson Reed, Jr. Gallery

, DAAP School of Art faculty will showcase their work in an exhibition titled “Variable Proportions,” and at the

Philip M. Meyers, Jr. Gallery

former Art Academy of Cincinnati faculty member and Cincinnati Art Museum Board Member Stewart Goldman will exhibit new paintings in “NUANCES.”

“Variable Proportions,” running through Oct.4, takes inspiration from the law of input disproportional to output. Pulling from the wealth of backgrounds, knowledge and globally recognized expertise in DAAP’s School of Art that includes painting, ceramics, printmaking, textile arts, video and sculpture, this group of artists seeks to answer questions about production associated with art and the relationship of input and output within the language of their media.

“NUANCES” captures the transition of Goldman’s work from figurative to abstract, reminiscent of the ideological shift of painters throughout the history of art. Goldman’s work refines landscapes into distilled lines of color and form, capturing space and dimension within the creases of paint and canvas. “NUANCES” puts forth Goldman’s minimalist vision in fragmented landscapes that emerge in fissures of isolated color from figurative realism. The exhibition opens Sept.13 and runs through Oct. 25.

The artist reception for “NUANCES” is from 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 10, in the Meyers Gallery in UC’s Steger Student Life Center. The “Variable Proportions” artist reception will be held from 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 1, in the Dorothy W. & C. Lawson Reed Gallery in the Aronoff Center for the Arts at DAAP.
