SUMMARY:MFA Illustration as Visual Essay 2021 Thesis Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:School of Visual Arts (SVA) presents “Selections from Thesis Projects\,” an exhibition from the MFA Illustration as Visual Essay class of 2021. Curated by David Sandlin\, thesis coordinator\, the exhibition will be on view from Thursday\, November 18\, through Saturday\, December 11\, at the SVA Chelsea Gallery\, 601 West 26th Street\, 15th floor. \n  \nIn a time of unprecedented challenges\, the MFA Illustration as Visual Essay class of 2021 has achieved amazing things. The members of this unique cohort have responded to social and academic isolation and personal hardships with a brilliant burst of ambition and originality\, creating spectacular paintings\, drawings\, prints\, graphic novels\, children’s books and illustrated memoirs. \n  \nIronically\, the COVID-19 pandemic has offered rare uninterrupted time for these natural storytellers to observe and reflect on current events\, examine issues like social media’s overarching influence on individuals and popular culture\, and take deep dives into personal memoir and revelation. Each artist has capitalized on the past year’s restrictions to focus on a body of intensely personal work. Here are some samples: \n  \nOliver Allison’s enigmatic series of meticulously rendered ink and watercolor drawings\, reminiscent of William Blake’s\, are based on the Book of Isaiah’s “songs of the suffering servant” in the Hebrew Bible. \n  \nFlora (Ruojun) Bai examines contemporary social-media anxiety with a series of vividly colored line drawings. She augments the self-portraits with a life-size figure with a mirrored face to represent herself as she attempts to fit in with others’ preconceptions and expectations. \n  \nYichin Chen has fashioned a lyrical and provocative faux catalog of beauty items that question the ideals of feminine allure propounded by social-network influencers. \n  \nEmilia (Wei Yun) Chin has created an updated Land of Cockaigne in her brightly hued series of drawings\, filled with fantastical snacks and the whimsical creatures that enjoy them. \n  \nAbanti Deb Chowdury uses atmospheric colors and textures to set a somber tone for her series of drawings recounting the effects of her father’s death on the family. \n  \nKarlotta Frier’s ambitious\, exquisitely wrought graphic novel vividly recounts the tedium of daily life and emotional perils of a refugee family traveling through the bleak yet beautiful landscapes of a climate-besieged dystopia. \n  \nIn Taarika Ravi John’s elegantly illustrated bildungsroman\, a mutual love of the lyrics of Bob Dylan creates an indelible bond between an Indian father and daughter that transcends distance and culture. \n  \nIn a witty sendup of dating sites\, Carly Larsson has created a series of journalistic line drawings mocking Tinder profiles. \n  \nThe pandemic has provided inspiration for Sarah K. Meyer’s graphic novel of horror and paranoia\, depicting a woman’s spiral into alcohol abuse and mental illness. A misbehaving doppelganger and an unreliable boyfriend add to the angst. Is she really the crazy one here? \n  \nCarles Garcia O’Dowd exploits his immense talent as a draftsman as he builds a world of gigantic zaftig goddesses dominating hordes of mindless consumers of selfie culture and indiscriminate likes in this critique of influencer privilege. \n  \nA Proustian mix of food and memory suffuses Sanika Phawde’s visual biography of a food stylist and her epic epicurean journey through life. \n  \nJohn Rego’s modern-day interpretations of medieval tapestry hunting scenes are exquisitely painted in a surreal and hilarious style that’s a cross between Northern Renaissance painting and National Lampoon covers. \n  \nIn the subversive tradition of Roald Dahl\, Millie von Platen has created an instant classic with her sly morality tale of a cheeky trickster banana who refuses to learn from his pranks. \n  \nIn her delightfully illustrated children’s story\, Simiao Wang tells the tale of a young astronaut and the mysterious and very cute monster that changes her life. \n  \nPaul Michael Wright has embarked on a poignant series of light-suffused oil paintings describing his and his brothers’ carefree and love-filled childhood in New Orleans\, along with intimations of tragedy to come. \n  \nIn her finely detailed\, large-scale drawings\, Nadia (Yincao) Xu critiques traditional societal control using S&M images as a metaphor. Bound and pierced bodies tattooed with subversive slogans force the examination of patriarchal power dynamics. \n  \nIn his beautifully inked and dramatically paced graphic novel\, Zhilan Yang contrasts the dramatic life of mythic dragon hunters with the dronelike existence of contemporary counterparts whose searches are undertaken entirely online. \n  \nIn a swirling fantasy of light\, line and shimmering color\, Danlin Zhang retells the classic Buddhist tale of a selfless nine-colored deer. \n  \nThe beautifully crafted and richly colored drawings of Jiubi (Qinyu) Zheng tell the story of Chinese history through exquisite objects from antiquity and her reimagining of their romantic\, sometimes poignant\, backstories. \n  \nThe MFA in Illustration as Visual Essay at SVA is designed to maximize students’ opportunities as figurative artists\, from the conventional gallery wall to the full range of 21st-century media. The program fuses the development of creative thinking with technical and communication skills. Additional focus is placed on best practices in navigating the visual-art marketplace while empowering students to choose making art as a way of life. \n  \nThe SVA Chelsea Gallery is open Monday through Friday\, from 9:00am to 5:00pm\, and closed on Saturdays and Sundays. Public access to SVA Chelsea Gallery is permitted during gallery hours if visitors show proof of vaccination (FDA/WHO-authorized) and photo ID\, wear a mask and provide their contact-tracing details. It is fully accessible by wheelchair. \n  \nSchool of Visual Arts has been a leader in the education of artists\, designers and creative professionals for more than seven decades. With a faculty of distinguished working professionals\, a dynamic curriculum and an emphasis on critical thinking\, SVA is a catalyst for innovation and social responsibility. Comprising over 6\,000 students at its Manhattan campus and over 40\,000 alumni from 128 countries\, SVA also represents one of the most influential artistic communities in the world.

SUMMARY:In and Out of Time
DESCRIPTION:School of Visual Arts (SVA) presents “In and Out of Time\,” an exhibition of work by 31 BFA Fine Arts students and alumni. Curated by BFA Fine Arts Chair Suzanne Anker\, the exhibition will be on view from Thursday\, October 21\, through Friday\, November 5\, at the SVA Chelsea Gallery\, 601 West 26th Street\, 15th floor\, New York City. \n  \n“In and Out of Time” brings together works in a variety of mediums: painting\, drawing\, sculpture and video installation. Ranging in ideas drawn from popular culture\, formalism\, identity politics and even death\, these works address the spirit of our time. \n  \nIn our global perception\, time can be approached as an invisible geography of duration. Is time a dreamscape? Is it living breadth? Is it a repository of historical events? This exhibition\, the first “live” exhibition in “real” time since reopening the SVA BFA Fine Arts Department\, is a peek into the time we were dispersed as fine-arts students. \n  \nFeatured student-artists are Zack Beitel\, Zane Bohnert\, Chris Cortez\, Bryan Fernández\, Aden Hardin\, Miley Huang\, Emily Hwang\, George Johnson\, Mithila Malaviya\, Symia McKellar\, Joel Murff\, Vishva Patel\, Lexi Paulino\, Paulo Pomarico\, Allison Prezioso\, Fatou Ridgird\, Rosalie Santini\, Avery Skillin\, Nathalie Slowak\, Byron (Lupo) Smith\, Salma Soliman\, Heaven Weathersby\, Yuyan Yang\, Ying Zhang\, Yiran Zhang and Sining Zhu; and alumni Srishti Dass\, Darius Dyson\, Lanyi Gao\, Antonia-Marie Kim and Farwah Rizvi. \n  \nThe SVA Chelsea Gallery is open Monday through Friday\, from 9:00am to 5:00pm\, and closed on Saturdays and Sundays. Public access to the SVA Chelsea Gallery is permitted during gallery hours if visitors show proof of vaccination (FDA/WHO-authorized) and photo ID\, wear a mask and provide their contact-tracing details. It is fully accessible by wheelchair.

SUMMARY:Tissue Memory
DESCRIPTION:School of Visual Arts (SVA) presents “Tissue Memory\,” a juried exhibition of multidisciplinary works by SVA students. Organized by SVA Galleries\, the exhibition will be on view online from Tuesday\, March 23\, through Monday\, April 12\, at galleries.sva.edu. \n  \nThe body is a repository for experience. Tissue memory refers to the theory that the elements of our bodies themselves could store memories of trauma and emotions that otherwise go unprocessed—the things that our minds are unable or unwilling to fully grasp. The artists in this exhibition use the body’s presence\, absence or surrogate in the same way. From the skin’s surface to the artist’s gesture\, this work examines what otherwise remains hidden from our consciousness. Longing\, trauma\, anger and the deeply hidden corporeality of our own bodies are revealed by tissue memory. \n  \nArtists featured in this exhibition are Annie Chen Ziyao (MFA Photography\, Video and Related Media)\, Ryan Cosbert (BFA Fine Arts)\, Maho Donowaki (MFA Fine Arts)\, Jingyi Gao (MFA Photography\, Video and Related Media)\, Lanyi Gao (BFA Fine Arts)\, Iveyology/Alena Ivey (BFA Fine Arts)\, Shelley Lake (MFA Art Practice)\, Seungheon Lee (BFA Fine Arts)\, Xinyi Liu (MFA Fine Arts) and Julia Lopac (BFA Illustration). \nImage credit: Julia Lopac\, The Breaking Point of Perfectionism\, 2019\, pen\, 40 x 30 inches.

SUMMARY:Reclaimed – Online
DESCRIPTION:School of Visual Arts (SVA) presents “Reclaimed\,” a juried exhibition of multidisciplinary works by SVA students. Organized by SVA Galleries\, the exhibition will be on view online from Thursday\, May 14\, through Thursday\, May 28\, at galleries.sva.edu. \n  \n“Reclaimed” addresses ownership of the human figure in an age of exploitation. Critiquing social institutions by protest through art\, each artist in this exhibition explores different approaches to harnessing control and freedom of the figure through lens-based media. From intimate portraits soaked in natural light to the stark juxtaposition of vacation and urban environment\, the works in “Reclaimed” tell many stories. The authors of these stories invite viewers to question their experience of finding identity through physical expression. \n  \nArtists featured in this exhibition are Stephanie Shay Anderson (BFA Photography and Video)\, Tyler Hooks (MPS Fashion Photography)\, Heather Olker (MFA Photography\, Video and Related Media)\, Esteban Kuriel (MFA Photography\, Video and Related Media)\, Ulaan (Yang Yu) (BFA Photography and Video) and Annie Chen Ziyao (MFA Photography\, Video and Related Media). \nJuried exhibitions are a way for SVA students to recognize the achievements of their most distinguished classmates. Artists are selected from a large pool of applicants to the annual SVA Galleries call for entries\, whose submissions undergo a rigorous examination of presented materials\, including documentation of work and artist statements.

SUMMARY:Man Made Monsters – Online
DESCRIPTION:School of Visual Arts (SVA) presents “Man Made Monsters\,” an exhibition of projects by BFA Illustration and BFA Cartooning students. Curated by the faculty of the course Pictorial Problems: Nicholas Bertozzi\, Joseph Cavalieri\, Brian Adam Douglas\, Joo Chung\, Teresa Fasolino\, Peter Fiore\, Frances Jetter\, Eliott Lilly\, Travis Louie\, Joshua Neufeld\, Carl Potts\, Jessica Ruliffson\, Koren Shadmi\, David Soman and Lauren Weinstein\, the exhibition will be on view online from Monday\, May 4\, through Monday\, May 18\, at galleries.sva.edu. \n“Man Made Monsters” explores fictional and biographical texts and images that involve the man-made monsters that we create. This theme has been fodder for writers\, filmmakers\, composers and journalists for generations. \n  \nWith a commitment to excellence dating back to SVA’s founding in 1947\, BFA Cartooning helps students develop a point of view and an individual voice as they master the rudiments of line\, color and form in a wide range of media. Studies of art history and world cultures are paired with painting\, drawing\, storytelling and pictorial problem solving\, culminating in the production of a portfolio of original work that presents each student’s distinct sensibility. Comic books\, graphic novels\, children’s books\, editorial cartoons\, theatrical posters\, figurative art exhibitions\, film and television credits and production designs—all are powerful vehicles for artists’ inner worlds and meaningful contributions to a public forum. At SVA\, cartooning students are prepared to lead the way. \n  \nBFA Illustration cultivates expert individual voices that are sustained by a high degree of craft\, with a curriculum designed to spark the imagination as well as teach the art of interpretation: the ability to carefully read and cross-reference texts\, research visual styles and conceptualize and produce significant bodies of work. As they progress through the program\, assignments become increasingly professional in nature and reflect the diversity of the illustration marketplace\, from media\, entertainment and publishing to fashion and toy design\, figurative painting in a fine art context\, and other fields. Students develop sophisticated\, multifaceted portfolios and participate in industry-sponsored competitions\, which provide valuable exposure and networking opportunities.
