    WNEP ABC 16: Professor's Latin American heritage inspires artwork

    Eddy Lopez knew from a very young age that he was interested in art.

    "Growing up in Nicaragua under the revolution, I was always picking up pencils, drawing on my parents' walls. I knew it was something I had to do," Lopez said.


    Lopez was born in Nicaragua and moved to the United States when he was 9 years old. He's now an assistant professor of art at Bucknell University in Lewisburg.

    En el programa de hoy Reinaldo estará conversando con Eddy López artista del grabado y educador nicaragüense, originario de la ciudad de Matagalpa. Eddy nació en tiempos de guerra creciendo durante una transición política entre la dictadura y el triunfo de la revolución sandinista. Desde pequeño encontró la inspiración entre los grandes murales que ilustraban iconos revolucionarios. Gracias a una colección de libros que sus padres tenían, Eddy se fue adentrando en el mundo gráfico y el dibujo, iniciando esta gran travesía que lo llevaría a explorar los conflictos armados y la cruda realidad de aquellos afectados por la guerra que muchas veces son ocultados por los medios de educación.

    IPCNY New Prints 2019

    An umbra is the deepest, darkest part of a shadow. During the selection process, Saar described how she was “immediately taken by the number of prints that reflected the somber atmosphere of our times,” which made the metaphor of the umbra a unifying concept. Through technically dynamic approaches to print in sculpture, animation, books, and paper, the works respond to contemporary and often historically pervasive concerns around race, gender, labor, and land. Saar reminds us that “some works are angry, some pained and some are healing and hopeful, but all are passionate about the precarious state of our troubled times.” These artists employ methods of response and resistance that conjure the hope that this precarity is temporary. The pattern of history has often shown dark periods preceding periods of enlightenment, indicating that these artistic mediations are paving the way toward a brighter future—one that is more just, balanced, and inclusive.

  • Transformers: Artistic Alchemy

    All art-making implies an act of transforming - changing materials from one thing to another-increasing or decreasing the voltage of the materials- changing the form, appearance or character of these materials.

    The Transformers in this exhibition are artists who begin with a recognizable object as the raw material for their act of transformation. The enhancement or subversion of the original object can involve adding layers of meaning or complexity to the object or can reverse the original intent of that object, whether it be as tangible and indestructible as a massive rubber tire or as ephemeral as a virtual image.

    The Dalton Gallery welcomes guest curator Dorothy Moye and the work of Temme Barkin-Leeds, Chakaia Booker, Sonya Clark, Elyse Defoor, Bryant Holsenbeck, Jess Jones, Susan Lenz, Eddy Lopez, Pam Longobardi, Amy Orr, Joe Peragine, Karen Searles, Gregor Turk, Naomi Wanjiku Gakunga, and John Westmark.

    Organizers: Sean P. Morrissey and Lenore Thomas

    This portfolio reflects the dynamic field of printmaking by inviting artists who fluidly work across or at the edge of disciplines to apply their aesthetic and conceptual vision to the multiple, representing the ability of the print to move from one point to another in terms of execution and definition. Utilizing their unique skill set combined with the aforementioned attributes, the artists in this portfolio explore the history and future of printmaking while redefining the possibilities of what a contemporary print can be. Non-traditional media, digital processes, and otherwise divergent approaches are highlighted while contributing to the growth, revitalization, and solidification of the discipline of printmaking.
