FALL 2020 EXHIBITIONS

Matthew Zivich: New Artworks

August 24th - September 19, 2020
Lecture: on line to be announced
Reception:  Covid restrictions prohibit a public reception at this time

The artworks in this show are Mat​thew Zivich’s most recent paintings ​with some drawings. The intention for these pieces is to creatively illustrate various​ images of historical events that have ​stayed in ​the artist’s mind for no apparent reason. The images are all appropriated from ​various sources, and that gives Prof. Zivich a chance to change the imagery into more ambiguous settings ​with suggested meanings. Some images are popular ​and may eventually be recognized. ​Prof. Zivich has been unabashedly influenced by Peter Saul, David Hockney, and Malcolm Morley, mostly because of their ​subjects and sardonic humor. Professor Zivich is a full-time faculty member in the Department of Art at SVSU.  For more information.
