Maryam Takalou (FSU Art MFA ‘22) is a featured artist in the Woman, Life, Freedom (Zan, Zendegi, Azadi) exhibition currently at Arts Fort Worth in Fort Worth,TX. This timely exhibition comes in response to “the Iranian women who are courageously demonstrating peacefully, protesting for their fundamental human rights in the wake of unspeakable tragedies including the death of Mahsa Jina Amini, who was arrested and detained in September for failing to adequately cover her hair, before dying in police custody."

FSU Art Alum Zoë Charlton’s Solo Exhibition “

FSU Art Alum Zoë Charlton’s Solo Exhibition “Ipseburg” at Tyler Park Presents in Los Angeles through February 25! Charlton (FSU Art BFA ‘95) creates figure drawings, collages, installations, and animations that depict her subject’s relationship to culturally loaded objects and landscapes. The exhibition, Ipseburg, features selections from three series of works by Charlton that focus on the body, material culture, and ancestry in large-scale drawings through self-portraiture. The word “ipseburg” is a compound word combining ipse: the Latin word for self and burg: a castle or walled building. Ipseburg is Charlton’s self-actualized term for a place, both real and imagined, that we are born into or have built with others. It represents a space where one matters and is worthy of care and protection. @fsuart @zoe.charlton.studio

“Divergent Entities,” a solo exhibition of art

“Divergent Entities,” a solo exhibition of artworks by Brad Blair (FSU Art MFA 2014), will be on display February 4-26 at the Delaplaine Arts Center, in Frederick, MD. This is Blair’s first solo exhibition since before the pandemic, and it will also be his largest exhibition to date. There will be 60 ceramic/mixed media works on display, with more than 25 that have never been shown before.

Blair says, “Along with the continuation of creature forms, many of my new sculptures have references to the fungi kingdom, a source of inspiration that has exploded for me over the past few years. The diversity of their shapes and colors, paired with their ellusiveness and mysteriousness, have inspired me to incorporate them into my artwork. Hundreds of hours have gone into the making of ‘Divergent Entities’ and I cannot wait to share it with the world!"

Operating hours for the Delaplaine Arts Center are Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. There is no charge for admission. For additional information, visit https://delaplaine.org/exhibitions/, email info@delaplaine.org, or call 301-698-0656. @bradblairceramics @fsuart @delaplaine

FSU Art MFA candidate ('25) Hannah Keats installed

FSU Art MFA candidate ('25) Hannah Keats installed invasive installations as part of Professor Tra Bouscaren's ART 3380C Experimental Drawing class. This course explores a variety of approaches to drawing using a wide range of media, materials, and strategies. Keats approaches the class by exploring how space can be manipulated through multimedia invasive spatial interventions. By combining digital techniques, such as textile design and digital printing with installation work, she engages the space in a way that confronts the viewer and makes them question the complex issues posed by invasive species and human intervention.

The show runs through March 1st. 👏🏼 @fsuart @ladybuchness @andgallerytucson

Works by Brooklyn based artist Elise Thompson (FSU

Works by Brooklyn based artist Elise Thompson (FSU ART MFA Alum ‘16) are featured in a duo show, Find / Fuse, with Cape Town based artist Stephané Edith Conradie at ceysson_benetiere Art Gallery New York. Find / Fuse is a process of perception, collection, withholding, joining. But also, probably, a critique of the unseen. Conradie and Thompson are alchemists of sorts—their material exploration and use of transparency calling the viewer to question what is visible versus what is known, acknowledging that the two do not always converge. On view now @ceysson_benetiere New York with @eeehhhhlise and @steph.edith curated by @raisin_fran and @maelleebelle until 3/11. 🔥 @fsuart @eeehhhhlise

Of Earth and Sky brings together the collaborative

Of Earth and Sky brings together the collaborative and individual works of Azucena Trejo Williams and Nathaniel Hendrickson (FSU Art MFA ’18). Rooted in sensory perception, memory, and environment; their works engage with subtleties of time and place, longing and belonging, absence and presence. Their work resonates with impressions of earth and sky, and winks at the horizon of human perception, performance and play. Revolve is a co-op contemporary art space that functions as part gallery, part studio, part performance and gathering space, with a mission is to support the varied creative energies of Western North Carolina, as well as regions beyond, to represent many different communities and forms of expression. @nathanielhendrickson @fsuart

FSU Studio Art BFA ’16 Todd Jones will have a so

FSU Studio Art BFA ’16 Todd Jones will have a solo exhibition at 621 Gallery in Railroad Square Art District. “Salting The Dig” will be exhibited from February 3rd through the 23rd. The opening reception will be on First Friday, February 3rd, from 5 – 10 pm.
Todd received his BFA with a double major in Studio Art and Psychology from Florida State University, an MFA in Painting + Drawing, and Graduate Certificate in Visual Arts Management from Ohio University. He is currently living in Raleigh, North Carolina, where he is a Visiting Assistant Professor / Gallery Director at Meredith College.

Born and raised in Tallahassee, Florida, Todd is an artist who pushes the boundaries of painting into sculpture. Todd reformulates discarded and mistint house paints into a visual record of cultural history through material transformations by pouring numerous layers to create strata-like forms that mimic natural sedimentation. The new relationship of each color layer is exposed through excavation and creates a cultural snapshot that examines the development of our society through patterns of culture/identity shedding. Process plays a central role in his work as he recontextualizes materials through collection and intervention. Salvaging and molding layers of paint into newfound forms, these stratifications expose remnants and the foundation of their previous lives. @fsuart @taahd

A few pics from our amazing visit to the 20th annu

A few pics from our amazing visit to the 20th annual Art Basel Miami Beach last month. The Department of Art once again brought a cohort of over 20 MFA students to an eventful four days of non-stop art fairs, special exhibits and studio openings in South Florida. Highlights included a visit to the Pérez Art Museum Miami, attending the main Art Basel and Untitled Art fairs as well as various satellite fairs, meeting Puerto Rican American artist and ceramicist Roberto Lugo at the opening of his solo show at The Wolfsonian-FIU museum, and ending the trip at the Rubell Museum Miami and the Margulies Collection at the Warehouse. The work of an FSU MFA Studio Art alum, Mark Creegan, was represented at the Untitled Art fair and he offered a talk to students about his professional journey after completing his master’s degree. Professor Grace Ali arranged access to several events for students, including a roundtable discussion of Artists Addressing Mass Incarceration at the Pérez Art Museum, an open studios brunch tour at the Oolite Arts creative learning center, an Art and Environment Summit with special lunch and discussion curated by the Women Photographers International Archive, and a tour of the Sunshine exhibition by curator Luisa Múnera at the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts’ YoungArts program. Our graduate program is strengthened by research travel and building relationships with the larger art communities to which our students are connected. 😎 @fsuart

Dedicated to materiality, this contemporary exhibition is meticulously crafted through ‘handiwork’ methods passed down by women across generations. The show runs through February 22. @fsuart @teneehart @aprilwebb4602 @leahgossett_art @thomasvillearts

Florida State University professor and Studio Art

Florida State University professor and Studio Art BFA program director Carrie Ann Baade, a surrealist painter whose work has been exhibited in museums and galleries nationally and internationally, has been a member of the Department of Art faculty since 2007. In her works, Baade incorporates the materials and techniques of renaissance painters and often interprets this style through a feminist lens. Her book, Scissors & Tears, recently published by La Luz de Jesus Press and now available from Amazon and other retailers; is a comprehensive look at her work throughout her career and provides insights into her process and the narratives behind the collage-style elements that are present throughout her body of work.
La Luz de Jesus Press presents the first comprehensive monograph on the paintings of Carrie Ann Baade. Showcasing approximately 100 paintings from 2002 to the present, this is a vivid exploration of Baade’s investigation into surreal self-portraits. Introduction by curator Anna Wall. Art historian Susan Aberth provides insight into Baade’s working method with collage. Fiction author Selena Chambers offers a guided tour of an imagined metaverse exhibition of Baade’s works. Baade herself provides an enlightening view into her own creative process.⁠
