UC Blue Ash Art Gallery Features 'Modes of Representation'
"Modes of Representation," the second exhibition of the new season for the UC Blue Ash College Art Gallery, will be on display from Sept. 8-Oct. 2.
The group exhibition will feature three artists working in various representational approaches: Jeremy Long (figurative oil paintings), Nicole Trimble (figurative oil paintings) and Elijah Van Benschoten (charcoal drawings). A reception for the artists, with free refreshments, will be held from 5-8 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 11, in the UC Blue Ash Art Gallery
(located at 4131 Cooper Road, Blue Ash, Ohio 45242)
. The event is free and open to the public.
Jeremy Long, an exponent post-abstract figurative painter and Chicago native, is an associate professor of art at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. Nicole Trimble, an MFA graduate from the University of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning (DAAP), is a Cincinnati-based figurative painter currently teaching at Miami University. Elijah Van Benschoten, a painter, draftsman, printmaker and photographer, is a Cincinnati resident who also teaches at Miami University.
According to co-curator and catalogue editor, H. Michael Sanders, these artists explore a wide range of representational strategies, all of which revolve around creating visceral, intimate worlds that reach far beyond mere reproduction of subjects in the physical world. While they differ in style, media and inspiration, all three of these artists are engaged in active investigations of the fertile intersection between concrete reality and eternal flux, from which a surprising and instinctive sense of poetry emerges into compelling visual form.
The standard hours for the UC Blue Ash Art Gallery are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. A full-color print catalog of the exhibition titled, "Modes of Representation," is available in the gallery.
More information about the exhibition, including the PDF version of the "Modes of Representation" catalog, is available on the UC Blue Ash College Art Gallery website at
