20, 2000 April 20, 2000 The Banner Page 5 Features ct" Alt show displays impressive student work By Melissa Starnes staff Writer ian Dance med along 3S on April /Vortham with the older :d women danc- j-arming other ; them, choreo- , down onto the lale dancer fol- ig off his gauzy everal occasions, lartstotheaudi- ed this. Some :ulminated with iththe God who ileading, acconi- and wild ;d as a fit, illus- n and tortured If. Gready talented artists roam around on this campus. Maybe it is some- ' ri one of your classes. This turned out to be true in my case when I went to see the Annual Juried Student Exhibition in Owen Hall’s University Gallery. As I looked at that artwork, a woman from my drama class came and saw me. It just happens that she had two drawings here. I had :en her name yet and probably would not have made the Review Madalyn Rogers, senior art major :oncentrating in drawing, showed me her untitled work, which won a special award for the best drawing. gers explained the special awards were honorable mention awards, and were given to the best )ut of different categories for best culptor, best painting, etc. The drawing “is a picture of my bedroom,” she said. There is a dresser and a door with a cloth hanging on top of them. Or is it? “You don’t know if the items are )n the cloth or behind it,” Rogers explained. I couldn’t tell which one it was, and that made it mysterious. It amazed me that anyone could have drawn something to look like that. Knowing now that the artwork was judged, I looked for the win ners. I saw the third place ribbon placed beside a painting by Hooper T urner called “LaFornarina I.” This was a large painting of a nude woman lying on a green-colored bed with a sheet partly covering her. She has her left arm covering her face, but what really struck me about this painting was her hair color. Turner used a mixture of brown, gold, and red to make her wavy hair. It looked like if I touched it, I Id feel the smoothness. The second place winner was “Rose” by Seth Goodman. A heavyset woman sits in a green armchair with a nametag that read “Rose”. A Pepsi can and a cigarette still smoking in an ashtray are beside her. The body of a nude woman is in the background, but her face is not seen. The expression, on Rose’s face is either peaceful, lonely, or just thinking about the past when days were better. I searched around for the first place ribbon and finally saw it on a sculpture looking like it was made out of some metal. Called “Cursed Woman,” by Hunter Stamps, it was the neck down of a female, a bit distorted, made with different pieces of metal. It confused me, since I didn’t understand the message of it, but it’s interesting. My favorite painting, called “In the Garden” by G. Carol Bomer, showed Christ praying the garden. I took a deeper look at the painting and saw that words had been writ ten into the paint. I could only make it out as “shedding of blood The body posture and facial ex pression of Christ gives the paint ing a strong message. Christ kneels in the dirt. His hands face outward and he looks like he is about to catch something. The expression is of a person in total desperation and I can see him asking God, “Why?” Blood is mixed in his hair, and his eyes show the pain and agony he felt as he faced a brutal death in the next few hours. One painting gave me more ques tions than answers. “Not Again” by Seth Goodman showed a woman in a black bathing suit or leotard ■ hugging her knees near a corner. Her face has a combination of sad ness, anger, and confusion. I won dered what had caused her to be so Another painting incorporated three dimensional aspects into it, which I liked. “Blessed,” by Allison PHOTO BY JUSTIN MECKES Derek Jones, a sophomore environmental studies major, examines student art work displayed at the Annual Juried Student Exhibition in the University Gallery in Owen Hall. Randleman, which received a spe cial award, had three women all in dresses, but two women’s dresses may have been real cloth somehow putonto the painting. Ididn’twant to touch the painting, so I am not quite sure if it was material or not. The faces of these women are hid den so the focus is on the dresses, which look realistic since they are wrinkled and appear to be flowing. A self-portrait by Paul Jeanes re minded me of Vincent Van Gogh’s self-portraits. He has red hair and a strong facial expression. I could not tell if he was angry or confused. I liked a cute photograph called “Marcy and Saskia” by Cheryl Lore. It showed two young girls, around the age of nine or ten, lying on their backs beside one another. One smiles, the other doesn’t. It looked like it belonged in a scrapbook, and it brought back memories of childhood friendships. “American Flag” byTravis Smith has the flag made out of metal springs, but what I found inter esting was that the stripes were brown, not white and red. The drawings of the skeletons disturbed me, so I don’t know what else to say about that. The artwork will remain in the University Gallery until April 25. academic notices CSAC Scholarship Applications Available, RH 013 • due 4/28 Graduate Breakfast, DH, 8 am • 5/8 Commencement, Quad, 11 am • 5/13 Big South Conference Track & Feild Championship • 3 pm, 4/21; 9 am, 4/22 Men's Baseball vs. Lander • 2 pm, 4/21; noon, 4/22 Men's Baseball vs. Furman, 2 pm • 4/25 Men's Baseball vs. South Carolina, 2 pm • 4/26 career opportunities/jobs Career Center Webpoge-wwv/.unca.edu/career; job listings available or visit WHC; job openings, in Career Resources Library To be notified of part-time job openings via e-mail, e-mail kdkeller@unca.edu Sam Powell & Alex Morris Exhibitions, 2nd Floor Gallery, OH, (Opening Receptions 6:30-8:30 pm) *4/21-5/2 "Umbra" by Chris Perryman (opening 6:30-8:30 pm) 27 Broadway • 4/21 Special Collection Gallery Opening: "Still Relative," RL • 4/21 Annual Juried Student Exhibition, University Gallery, OH • thru 4/25 Blowers Gallery Photos: "1-26: Corridor of Change" • thru 4/29 Southern Circuit Film Series: "Jay Elvis," "Cartoon Girl" & "Comes to a Point Like an Ice Cream Cone," Lipinsky, 7:30 pm, free • 4/20 "Instinct," & "Awakenings" (spon. by Biology Club & After Hours), HCL, 7 pm•4/21 "In too Deep," 8 pm, HC Lounge (Pizza free) • 4/24 ^ I. april 20 thru ^ concerts/live entertainment ! april 27 leadership opportunities Leadership Awards Ceremony, Grove Park Inn, 7 pm • 5/3 Interns Positions: Greek, Multicultural • due 4/20; Leadership and G/L/B/T Safe Zone • due 4/21 UNCA FYI is a service of the Student Activities and Student Affairs offices.
