THE MASLOW STUDY GALLERY FOR CONTEMPORARY ART

@ MARYWOOD UNIVERSITY


Water: A Student Curated Exhibition

May 1 - 25, 2009


This exhibition was curated by Samantha Urbanick, an Arts Administration student at Marywood, upon the completion of her internship with The Maslow Collection. Following is a statement that Samantha prepared to accompany the exhibition:

"The collection of works that I have selected for this exhibition share a common theme of water. I chose to present this theme using abstract examples of water, opting for paintings that display cool tones coupled with that ephemeral, relaxing feeling one often experiences while swimming. I invite viewers to lose themselves in the modern pointillism of Joseph DiGiorgio's Oceanside No. 11 and to sink into Robert Moskowitz's print, Swimmer, which was the inspiration for the entire exhibit.

It was a wonderful experience working with The Maslow Collection, and I hope you enjoy my selections from the collection as much as I do."
