Reception | Sketching a Lineage Exhibit

exhibit description

A group show representing sketchbook works in portraiture from artists Seymour Simmons PhD ED., Seth Rouser, and Stephen Crotts. This selection of artists is unique in the connection of education. Mr Rouser was a student of Dr. Simmons, and Mr Crotts a student of both Simmons and Rouser. All three artists have a deft hand, combining gestural line, tone, and contours in their delicate depictions of people. Subjects range from part-time models, passers by and/or folks unaware, to intimate portraits of persons in the artists’ lives. These drawings span from the 1970s and until the present. "Sketching a Lineage" is anticipated to be a catalyst for discussions on activities - whether personal or professional - and/or workshops related to drawing.
