Lecture Series


Art Department Visiting Artist Lecture Series
        Fall 2011 Visiting Artist: Favianna Rodriguez
        When and Where: Wednesday, September 21, 5:00 pm @ UT-108

Favianna Rodriguez, Print

Favianna Rodriguez is a celebrated printmaker and digital artist based in Oakland, California. Using high-contrast colors and vivid figures, her composites reflect literal and imaginative migration, global community, and interdependence. Whether her subjects are immigrant day laborers in the U.S., mothers of disappeared women in Juárez, Mexico, or her own abstract self portraits, Rodriguez brings new audiences into the art world by refocusing the cultural lens. Through her work we witness the changing U.S. metropolis and a new diaspora in the arts.

Printmaking Visiting Artist
        Spring 2011 Program Visiting Artist: Asuka Osawa

Asuka Ohsawa is an accomplished relief printmaker and painter with a distinct narrative style. She is born in Torrance, California, but her visual inspiration derives the traditional and pop culture from Japan, where she lived several years as a child. She has developed her own version of the "Super Flat" style during her graduate study at Museum School in Boston. Not unlike her Japanese counterparts, such as Takashi Murakami, she found her inspiration in the world of comic as well as traditional masters.

Ohsawa is represented by Richard Heller Gallery in Santa Monica.

Student Activities


California: Adulterated Landscapes and Deflated Icons at Raid Projects

California: Adulterated Landscapes and Deflated Icons aims to create a dialogue between artworks that represent a disintegrating California landscape and artworks that portray hollywood-bred iconic figures who have often failed to transcend their aging careers. Within this dialogue are questions of which of these has had the greater influence on the culture itself.

A mixed media installation work by Brian Borlaug is selected by the exhibition curators, David De Boer and Kio Griffith.
