Grateful and honored to have collaborated with these 12 tremendously talented graduate student artists from the Department of Art, Design, and Art History at California State University, Fresno in creating their photographic composite illustration celebrating the opening of their exhibition “The Human Condition” for ArtHop, Thursday, December 1, 5:00-8:00pm, in the M Street Gallery, 1419 M Street, Fresno. Fresno State MFA creative writing students will be reading their work on the theme starting at 6:30pm. The show will also be open on Saturdays, December 3 and 10, 12:00- 4:00pm, and Thursday, January 5, 5:00-8:00pm for the January ArtHop What does being human mean? We present different perspectives, exploring the nuances of navigating the world, finding ourselves, and how we relate to each other and the global community. Is the human condition an ailment we all suffer from? Do we suffer as a group, as social beings, or as individuals? Are we autonomous and self-sufficient, or do we have needs that cannot be fulfilled on our own? The works in this show are an attempt to diagnose and dissect the human condition. As we search for understanding and a desire to be understood, we reveal insecurities, but we also show that by relating to others and empathizing, we build community.The show will include sculpture, ceramics, mixed media, painting, printmaking, installation, and drawings. #fresnostateartdesignandarthistory #compositeportrait #portraitphotography #studioportraits #thehumancondition (at M Street Arts Complex) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clg6vmyP5NIHNlr3hImjGutV6vOWqTcPjEiPtM0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
