new art exhibit

Our art tutor, Shawn, is having his work exhibited in Dan's program gallery. His paintings are colorful and when you walk in to the hallway it's really quite arresting. He has some of his older stuff (from when he was in high school) up on display too- these are the very impressionistic gouache landscapes. The oil paintings are ones that he did during his undergrad years. Now he's a graduate student, though I haven't really figured out what his program is. He's in the art department and about the closest I could get was something like physiology - basically he studies body structure, but in relation to art, not health sciences. He's spent the last few weeks in his studio with a lot of bones, learning how to draw their structure and then applying that to his paintings of people.

This is him, on the left, with Dan and several of the program's students and tutors, at the opening ceremony for the exhibit, which was Shawn's first.
