Sarah West, Clemson University MFA in Art Alumna, Solo Exhibition at Hillyer Art Space

Sarah West, holoscape, 2016, oil on panel, 60"x60"x3"

Hillyer Art Space, opening Friday, Jan. 6, 2017.  The opening is part of the First Friday Dupont gallery circuit and will last 6-9PM with complimentary wine and food. The exhibition will be up through January 28th.

About the show: This series features new work created over the past year, including three small paintings created during Ms. West's time at the Vermont Studio Center. Using these panels as inspiration, she continues her exploration of the Early Renaissance and digital themes, focusing on the process of merging digital and analogue in crafting these works. Inspired by touchpads and the finger swipes used to interact with digital devices, these paintings address a desired intimacy between technology and body, a potential for permeation.


Sarah received the Master of Fine Arts degree in Art with an emphasis in painting from Clemson University in 2012.
