Painting
Image
Whether it’s painting on a surface or the integration of new digital technologies, painting as a medium is about new space. From linear perspective with its unbending world view to social practice and its liberating atmosphere, the aesthetics of engaged transgression are always part of the sphere of painting. In celebration of the inaugural theme of New Space(s) there will be a show by painting students along with their peers from the Sculpture department. By displaying these images and objects together in one convergent site there will be an opportunity to engage in conversation and provide a point on the horizon where the 2-Dimensional and 3-Dimensional intersect.

ABOUT
Painting at RISD prepares students to engage in an individual search for meaning and cultural representation through the development of strong visual skills, keen critical reasoning abilities and an understanding of broad historical and social contexts. Faculty encourage both the freedom and discipline essential to this process by embracing a wide range of aesthetic attitudes and offering flexible programs, along with a place where ideas rooted in the tradition of painting are openly examined and exchanged, challenged and refined.
