February 10 – June 3 at the Upcountry History Museum

Superheroes and Superstars: The Works of Alex Ross includes over 100 pieces of original artwork; including paintings, sketches, and models created by Alex Ross, one of the greatest artists in the field of comic books.

With brilliant use of watercolor, Ross has spent most of his career revitalizing classic superheroes into works of fine art. His breakthrough work on Marvel Comics in 1994 propelled him into comic book superstardom at the age of 24. Ross’s paintings revolutionized the comic book industry and transcended the newsstand origins of his profession.

Art by 15 Furman University graduating seniors will be on display April 10-May 3 in Thompson Gallery of the Roe Art Building on campus. Thompson Gallery hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

In the exhibition, “Disappointing Episodes,” artists will display a variety of mediums: painting, print making, ceramics, photography, film, textiles and sculpture. Many works will be available for sale. The exhibition is free and open to the public.

The Class of 2018 offers this statement about “Disappointing Episodes”:

“As students and artists, we have encountered many situations in which we have had to fail in order to succeed. The collegiate experience—facing the pressures of academics, social lives, and trying to find our artistic voices—has resulted in what we like to refer to as ‘disappointing episodes’—that is, moments where we feel we have been defeated. When we experience disappointing episodes, we must choose to learn and grow from them, or allow the episodes to define who we are. Our senior class, composed of 15 students with diverse backgrounds and visions, has chosen to prosper in the face of adversity. As a result, we have a show that represents our small community and our journey as artists in our senior year. We hope you view our work as an extension of our Furman experience, our progress as artists, and a glimpse into our futures.”

Students displaying work are: Aneesh Borah (Greenville, S.C.); Heather Brame (Manchester, N.H.); Allie Buchalski (Johns Creek, Ga.); Haena Chon (Greenville, S.C.); Emory Conetta (Sarasota, Fla); Kaitlyn Cothran (Pelzer, S.C.); Jack Goode (Chattanooga, Tenn.); Olivia Kent (Montgomery, Ala.); Jaime Lara (Taylors, S.C.); Celia Luck-Leonard (Charlotte, N.C.); Leanna Martin (York, S.C.); Emily McPeters (Albany, Ga.); John Derek Parsons (Easley, S.C.); Mary Roh (Anderson, S.C.); and Anna Sylvester (Norcross, Ga.).

Known for her expressionistic and colorful explorations of trees, Yuri Tsuzuki’s recent work acknowledges and refines this theme to create sculptural forms that are at once gestural, abstract and readily accessible.  Many of the metal sculptures in the exhibition were created in Bogota, Colombia, where the artist resided for 6 years before returning to Greenville in the spring of 2014.  Many of the works are powder coated in red, green, purple, orange – eye-popping colors.  Other works have the luscious natural patina of unapologetic steel.  The contrast plays well into the artist’s own personality of being both elegant and rebellious.

A gestural brush stroke in steel.  Like the Japanese pictograph that captures an image in one calligraphic stroke.  Steel is hard, cold and unbending.  In my metal sculptures, steel changes its mind.  It dances and plays with light, color and movement, becoming calligraphy in three dimensions.

I work in many mediums, but steel is a material that has pierced my heart like a sword.
