CUAC is excited to introduce Rashawn Griffin to Sanpete county. Griffin is coming from New York where he exhibits regularly. He will be installing new work constructed onsite that focuses on landscape.

Griffin's work takes the normal and mundane and elevates it to a newer artistic level. It moves between the public and private, the obscure and transparent. His work transcends any specific genre; constructed wooden panels wrapped in fabric resemble large minimal painting reminiscent of the color field painters and at the same time calls back to assemblage: handmade and rough.

Griffin's installations of mundane materials and hand-made construction engage the viewer and foster interpretation. His paintings, sculptures and multimedia collages explore the innate nature of materials and the context in which we encounter them. It balances between the recognizable and the foreign.

He will be lecturing at Snow College on Wednesday, February 22 at 7:00 p.m.
