The Immortals
May 17 – June 29, 2013
The Salisbury University Art Galleries Downtown Campus (120 N. Division Street)
Reception: Friday, May 17, 5-8 pm

A solo show of works by local artist Jessica Cross Davis. Her paintings explore the permeable boundary between realism and abstraction through the manipulation of a familiar medium: portrait painting.
Her portraits of young men and women play with light, projections, symbolism and painterly technique to show what she calls the “universal dichotomy between strength and vulnerability. The works address the notion that we are, as human beings, the only species on earth conscious of both love and ambition who have an inexorable expiration date.”
Davis has been creating and displaying art for more than 10 years. She earned her M.F.A. from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 2007 and has had several solo exhibitions throughout the mid-Atlantic. She also has sold works internationally. She teaches painting, drawing, design and printmaking in SU’s Art Department.

This Land
July 22 – September 7, 2013
University Gallery
Closing Reception: September 7, 4:00pm

The lyrics to the beloved Woody Guthrie song, “This land was made for you and me,” present an assumption about our natural world, primarily that it is there to serve man. In turn, the land is “made” by us through altering ecosystems, extracting resources, and agriculture. The work of the different artists presented in this exhibition explore man’s relationship with nature, presenting nuanced views of how the land (and sea) are shaped both physically and figuratively by human activities.
