SOUTH HOLLAND, IL –(ENEWSPF)–August 1, 2013. The Art & Design Department of South Suburban College (SSC) is pleased to present an exhibition entitled Rinnio Della Vita from Monday, August 19th through Thursday, September 12th in the Dorothea Thiel Gallery. There will also be an Artist Reception for artists Anne Farley Gaines and Geoffrey Novelli on September 12th from 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.
According to artists Gaines and Novelli, the subject of “renewal” in this exhibit, or “rinnio della vita” in Italian, is expressed in multiple ways. Spiritual renewal is evidenced by Gaines in “The Form of the Fourth,” a very recent watercolor triptych. Another type of renewal is the re-use of materials, such as the yellow enamel pans that Novelli has used for the eyes of “Bumblebee” and the metal strips for wings. The two artists also are showing off a few pieces of older works in the exhibit, thus infusing them with renewed life and exposure to a new audience. Renewal is a very positive concept, and Gaines and Novelli feel that the world needs as much positive energy brought into it as possible.
The public is welcome to visit art exhibitions and receptions at no charge. The Thiel Gallery is on the fourth floor in the Art & Design hallway and is open Monday through Thursday from 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m., and Fridays from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., and closed on weekends and holidays. The galleries are supported in part by the SSC Foundation.
SSC is located at 15800 South State Street, South Holland, Illinois. Call (708) 596-2000, ext. 2445 for more information.
