Greensboro College Art Exhibit by James Brooks III Opens Oct. 7
GREENSBORO, N.C. – The Greensboro College Department of Art presents James Brooks III’s exhibition, “Brooks Isn’t Done: In Retrospect While Contemporaneous,” Oct. 7-Nov. 14 in the Anne Rudd Galyon Gallery in the Cowan Humanities Building on campus.
Regular gallery hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays. A closing reception will be held 6-8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 14. Admission is free, and the public is invited.
Brooks, with both academic and self-taught skills, makes large, extremely active, and brightly-colored images of pop icons as well as many engaged with religiously-tinged settings and iconography. He also has new work with a social commentary edge, which he is excited to share.
His social-political work includes sneak appearances of famous figures, joined across time. He writes and recites his own performance-art poetry to accompany the reception, assisted by a live string instrumentalist.
Greensboro College’s Department of Art offers the B.A. or B.S. in Art and the B.A. in Art Education, as well as the B.F.A. in painting or sculpture.
The program, with individual attention to students, combines classic art principles with the liberal-arts foundations of diverse branches of inquiry, including both science and the humanities, so that students can incorporate as much of the world as possible into their own art-making.
