blog I love: Jewett Art Gallery

John Udvardy Opening Reception at the Jewett Art Gallery

The Jewett Art Gallery is not only a wonderful place to see great art on campus (thanks to gallery director and studio art member extraordinaire Clara Lieu), I love their blog.

Clara always brings great, often local artists, to the college, as well as features the artwork of faculty, staff, and students. The work on the walls is constantly changing and the opening receptions have a tasty assortment of cheese and wine; what’s not to love.

I got to see a whole new side of Clara last September, when she participated in the exhibition Calculated Risks at the Davis. Here’s one of her beautiful, large scale drawings. It’s hard to get a full sense of the drama of her work from a little web-ready jpg. Her pieces are made of layered paper, are about ten feet tall, and capture a sort of exquisite loneliness.
