Works On Paper Gallery

The Works on Paper Gallery is located on the 4th floor of Building 13 across from the Burnell R. Roberts Triangle Gallery. This gallery features artwork from local, national, or international artists. While called Works on Paper Gallery, other 2D art is often featured in this space.


Current Exhibition:

Lauren Scavo-Fulk
May 15-June 14, 2023

Overgrown Bridge by Lauren Scavo-Fulk

Scavo-Fulk creates intimate landscapes that often break out of a delimited rectangle, while wide borders on the drawings invite the viewer to consider the single, experiential moment represented. In her work, she seeks to depict the contrast between the objective depiction of nature and the subjective human element that is always present in the interpretation of one’s surroundings.

Street Story Montages by Marc, a documentary photographer, is a series that explores American identity and sense of place. He captures public gatherings where American character is revealed and has created a series of montages from digitally stitched panoramas and photographs. The result is a view into American culture which is complex, socially charged, historically layered, and in constant flux.

Drinker by Maureen O'Keefe
Maureen O'Keefe "Drinker"

Seeking Inherent Value by O’Keefe is a series of painted portraits based in blind contour drawings. These works, accented in gold, are a meditation on the value a person holds and how societies often tie value to productivity in one way or another, thus leaving the inherent value of a person in question.
