In this exhibition of works on paper, the AVA gallery will serve as a metaphor for the artist’s brain, according to Jeffrey Morton, professor of art at Covenant College.
Morton, who served as curator for the show, was inspired by a 1984 installation at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, in which the artist Jonathan Borofsky exhibited a series of large-scale self-portrait sculptures that served as symbolic representations of the artist.
“There is something special about the drawings of an artist, and it seems to me that when I view such drawings, I have an immediate access to the thoughts and mind of the artist,” Morton said.
The artists who will have works on display in the show include: Bill Thelen, John Tallman, John W. Ford, Jean Hess, Joseph Peragine, Jake Kelley, Jered Sprecher, David Young, Ron Buffington, Marilyn Murphy, Mark Hosford, Jodi Hays, and Chris Scarborough.
