Mimesis: The BFA Thesis Exhibition opens Friday, May 1 and continues through May 8 in the Arts Center Gallery at Nazareth University. A opening reception will be held Friday May 1 from 5- 7pm with refreshments. The exhibition showcases the work of five artists in a variety of media, including Painting, Printmaking, Ceramics and Metals. The work of Canandaigua, NY, native Aliza DeWolf confronts viewers with paintings depicting endangered animals who don't have a voice to speak for themselves. Painting images of the body, Celia Morgaine Kilgore, of Fairport, NY, uses personal and outside experiences to explore the ways in which physical and emotional trauma shape a person's life and future. Fascinated by the relationship of humans with nature, Autumn Cupano, of Rhinebeck, NY, creates dream worlds of co-existence in her cardigraph prints. Sophia Black, of Grand Island, NY, represents aspects of the female body through symbolic images of fruit, expressing ideas of innocence, fertility, and transformation. Pittsford, NY, native Catherine Biedenbach explores her connection to femininity and nature as she creates her own reality where the divine feminine can exist in its purest form. Arts Center Gallery hours: Tues-Thurs: noon- 5pm, Fri & Sat: noon- 8pm, Sun: noon-5pm
