UIU Fine Arts to Present “Spiritual Visions” Exhibit

Fayette (January 20, 2006)—The Upper Iowa Art Department is pleased to present the paintings and prints of guest artist, Robert Kennon, Associate Professor of Art at Ashford University in Clinton, Iowa.

Kennon’s work is influenced by 18^th and 19^th century romantic art and theory, concentrating on the sublime, or that which is absolutely great and awe-inspiring. “I have chosen to represent God in abstract form through the attributes of infinity, vastness and astonishment,” says Kennon. “I wish to restore the importance of spirituality and faith.”

The show will be on display at UIU’s Edgar Fine Arts Gallery from January 18 through February 15, 2006.

The Edgar Fine Arts Gallery is located in room 200, Edgar Fine Arts Hall, near the corner of Clark and Union, on the Upper Iowa University campus in Fayette. The gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. or by appointment. For more information, please contact John Siblik, Assistant Professor of Art at 563-425-5241 or siblikj@uiu.edu.

The public is invited to attend free of charge.
