Fields and Monuments
An Eclectic Combination
The opening reception that took place on Friday, Sept. 17, 2010 at the Texas A & M International University College of Arts and Sciences Department of Fine and Performing Art Gallery was a great success. Both artists, Joey Fauerso and Riley Robinson, were present at the opening reception. The show was from 5 to 7pm with food and drinks for those that attended. The show was free to the public and all were welcome to attend.
During the show, both artists were available to answer a few questions and try to explain their works of art to those that wished to know. Joey Fauerso, explained that her art work was based on the merging of the human figure and the environment. Some of the pieces were that of the human figure that may appear to the environment, but the curves and lines gave the appearance of a figure. She wanted for some the boundaries to be unapparent and for some of them to appear as if they were engaging in sexual acts within itself. Others appeared to be as though it was a open mouth and one is able to see inside, but the white frames and backgrounds were the boundaries and you get a sense of depth without actually being able to go directly inside the painting. Fauerso wanted for the figures to seem as thought they are being suffocated or submerged into the surrounding environment. She is really able to get a viewer to try to decipher what he or she may be seeing and try to understand her point of view. The colors and overall flow of her art work is cohesive.
Riley Robinson's artwork was easily described to eclectic. He uses of industrial and raw wood materials is what made his art work well together as a whole. Robinson stated that he tried to use soccer and a trip or residency to Norway as his inspiration. He was thinking about the breaking down of boundaries and put everything together. He stated that when in Norway, the surrounding cities and countries were not defined and they sort of came together as one, but when it game down to playing a friendly game of competitive soccer, they divide back into their own groups. His art work is sort of like that in a way. His art work seems to work in the same way. Each piece is extremely different, but they all work well together and the reason as to why they work is because they all share the same differences. The differences between each are what bring them together. He tries to work in the now and does not stay with the same theme throughout too many. He tries to create what he feels at that particular time or what his interest might be at that moment.
The exhibit will be on display until Oct. 14, 2010. For more information you can contact TAMIU FPA Center or Alma Haertlein at 956-326-3041 or you can email almah@tamiu.edu.
