SUMMARY:“Obedient to…”—An Exhibition of Metal Work and Fiber Art
DESCRIPTION:When artistic alums Doug Abbott (’10) and Sheryl Schwyhart (’20) first met at the lunch table at United ten years ago\, neither could have foreseen how a friendship would be forged around theology\, art\, and personal struggle. It is fitting that in this time of Lent\, a period of reflection and seeking to “see differently\,” they would collaborate to bring an exhibition out of persistence and faith.  \nJoin us onsite or online at the Arts Lunch on April 1 at 12:15 PM for a conversation about their process for creating “Obedient to…”—An Exhibition of Metal Work and Fiber Art. \nNOTE: The password is Awes-Freem \nJoin Us Via Zoom >

SUMMARY:Theology and the Arts Lunch: “Tradition and Juxtaposition in the Work of Mahmoud Saleh Mohammadi”
DESCRIPTION:Mahmoud Saleh Mohammadi (b. 1979) is an Iranian artist from Tehran who studied as a painter at the Art University in Tehran and then continued his education at Brera Fine Arts Academy in Italy\, graduating in Visual Arts. \nIn his works\, he combines the focus\, uniformity\, and tradition of the (Middle-)East with the Western ideals of creative expression. In many of his pieces\, Saleh Mohammadi juxtaposes iconography from Persia to explore the histories of Iran\, Italy\, Japan\, and other countries of his encounter. His vision continues to push the boundaries of his own art\, urging spectators to look beneath the surface and uncover the essence of materials\, colors\, and cultural intersections. \nHe is currently based both in Milan and Antwerp. \nJoin Us Via Zoom > \nQuestions? Contact Dr. Jennifer Awes Freeman.
