On Sept. 21, The University of Tampa’s Scarfone/Hartley Gallery will open a new exhibition, At Hand, exploring the intersection of color, materiality and the blurred lines between image and object. The exhibition runs from Sept. 21–Oct. 19, with an opening reception on Friday, Sept. 21, from 7–9 p.m.
Curated by Ry McCullough, assistant professor of art and design, At Hand brings together works by three nationally recognized contemporary artists — Damien Hoar De Galvan, Cynthia Mason and Ryan Sarah Murphy — developing a conversation between artists to explore this nexus in contemporary art. Each artist brings a unique aesthetic vocabulary that elevates humble materials by celebrating the poetry of the hand-made through their exceptional sculptural works.
