September 11, 2019 | The Clarion Campus News Page 3 'Southern Class' bc security art exhibition By Chloe McGee Arts & Life Editor On Friday, Sept. 6, the Brevard College Art Department hosted an opening reception in Spier’s Gallery for local artist Travis Donovan to introduce his sculptural exhibition titled ‘Southern Class.’ As a native of Southern Appalachia—^bom and raised in Valle Crucis, a small town outside of Boone—Donovan developed a fascination for the region’s unique culture and prevalent motifs. In 2004, Donovan received a BFA in Sculpture from Appalachian State University. Fie later continued his education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Flill where he earned a Studio Art MFA in 2011 and, upon graduating, became a North Carolina Artists Fellow. Donovan now works as a North Carolina interdisciplinary artist and educator, currently serving as an Assistant Professor of Sculpture and Area Coordinator at his alma mater Appalachian State University. Inspired by his experience living in the mountains of North Carolina, Donovan began his pursuit to study, challenge and capture themes of economic and gender dynamics throughout the South. ‘Southern Class’—Donovan’s current artistic exploration—delves into the relationships between southern identity, integrity and memorabilia which define life under the Mason- Dixon line. In his exhibition and throughout his other works, Donovan experiments with an array of materials, techniques and innovative concepts. From traditional artistry to contemporary media, Donovan’s creations feature an assortment of aesthetic elements, which often appear collectively in a singular piece. “My current work utilizes this storytelling tradition of embellishment by investigating unexpected presentations of materials and objects that I have encountered growing up in the South, in hopes of coaxing new poetic connections from an established cannon of reality,” said Donovan. ‘Southern Class’ is open to the public and will remain on display until Sept. 27. Gallery hours for the show are from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. on weekdays. report Photo credit TravisDonovan.com The most recent security reports for Brevard College have been released as of Tuesday, Sept. 10, 3:30 p.m., according to Brevard College Campus Security.
