Art Exhibitions on Display at South Suburban College Beginning August 25


SOUTH HOLLAND, IL—(ENEWSPF)—UPDATED AUGUST 25, 2014

The Art & Design Department of South Suburban College (SSC) is pleased to present two exhibitions currently on display with closing receptions for the artists on September 17, 2014. A new exhibition titled ‘Trail to Arcadia’ is now on display in the Lee E. Dulgar Gallery.  ‘Trail to Arcadia’ is the show’s title piece for the exhibition of watercolor paintings from Chicago-based artist Anna Zanic that is exhibiting at the South Holland Campus through a closing reception at 12 noon on September 17th.  Zanic was born in Vinkovci, Croatia in 1976.  She earned her Master’s of Fine Arts from the University of Zagreb, Croatia, in 2002.  In this body of work, the abstracted notion of atmospheric landscape is a metaphorical expression of life’s mysterious and elusive path. Works are built with layers of watercolor washes, intermixed with dynamic lines, scribbles and marks of ink drawing.  There is a quiet tension between the watercolor’s fluidity, softness and calm, vs. the dynamic, rhythm and energy of drawing.

‘Trail to Arcadia’ joins another exhibition at SSC already on display in the Dorothea Thiel Gallery titled Welcome to Earth.  Welcome to Earth is a select body of ceramic sculptures from artist Matthew Groves that is exhibiting through the closing reception at 11:00 a.m. on September 17th.  ‘Welcome to Earth’ is both figurative and narrative, reflecting Groves’ unique point of view, and demonstrating his passion for craft and traditional forms.

The public is welcome to visit art exhibitions and receptions at no charge.  The Dulgar Gallery is located on the 1st Floor near the Atrium and the Thiel Gallery is on the 4th floor in the Art & Design hallway.  SSC Galleries are open at minimum Mondays through Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m., and Fridays from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.  The galleries are closed on weekends and holidays. 

For more information, please call (708) 596-2000, ext. 2445 or visit www.ssc.edu/art.   SSC is located at 15800 South State Street, South Holland, Illinois.
