Embodiment II (invitational group exhibition)

Moon Gallery, M-F, 9am-5pm

Embodiment II features artwork created by artists who utilize the human figure in a range of media and approaches. For many, the human form is the site of identity or the generator of narrative, while also providing a structure for formal and material experimentation. Exhibiting artists include Pam Beagle-Daresta, who works across disciplines to encourage discovery. Local artist/musician Russell Cook works with the figure in a range of media including collage and sculpture. An Associate Professor of Art at Georgia Highlands College, he holds degrees in painting from the University of Georgia (MFA) and Georgia State University (BFA). Jason Guynes creates highly representational work with drawing materials and oil paint often using himself as a subject. Craig Hawkins creates paintings and drawings that often employ the figure to explore issues surrounding belief and truth. He is an associate professor of drawing and foundations at Valdosta State University, where he received his BFA. (His MFA is from the University of Georgia.)
