Artist Christina Renfer Vogel is showcasing a selection of her paintings and drawings at Berry College’s Moon Gallery Feb. 8 through Mar. 4.
The exhibition presents selections from a number of series Vogel has created since completing graduate school that, in her words, “explore the familiar and unremarkable.” Her subjects include figures often cropped and turned away from the viewer silhouetted in a field of color.
Vogel uses her art to portray “a sense of isolation or interaction, longing or discomfort.” An assistant professor at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Vogel is nationally recognized, receiving a number of accolades for her work including a 2014-2015 University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Research and Creativity Grant and a Nebraska Arts Council Independent Artist Fellowship.
A native of Pennsylvania, Vogel holds degrees in painting from Tyler School of Art, Temple University and Massachusetts College of Art.
There will be an opening reception at 5 p.m. Feb. 9. The Moon Gallery is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. - 5.p.m. and is free and open to the public. For further information contact J. Bradley Adams at badams@berry.edu.
