A reception will be held for “Life Story: Paintings by Tim Fisher and Perin Mahler” from 5 p.m.-7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 22 in the Isabella Cannon Room, located in the Center for the Arts on the Elon University campus.
To express the theme of creating life stories through painting, Fisher and Mahler, artists and art professors at Grand Valley State University in Michigan, painted portraits of each other specifically for this exhibition. Other paintings to be exhibited include figure studies, still-life images, and large-scale narrative images with some surrealist elements. These images are linked by a skillful manipulation of paint to look like something it isn’t while also depicting a story.
The exhibit is part of the James H. McEwen, Jr. Visual Arts Series and will be on display from Aug. 19-Sept. 22.
