Susan Nicholas Gephart, a Penn State alumna, draws on her more than 30 years experience painting en plein air to express her appreciation for the environment through oils and pastels. Each painting is a multisensory response to capture the mood of the landscape at a moment.
This is an Art on the Move exhibit organized by the HUB-Robeson Galleries.
Michelle Bixby describes photography as a universal language, allowing her the opportunity to tell stories in a way that words could never succeed. Special Moments is a representation of each special moment she captured, conveying a spectrum of emotions.
This is an Art on the Move exhibit arranged by the HUB-Robeson Galleries at Penn State.
Serving as the centerpiece to Minichiello’s “A Dirge,” Tension addresses the strain civilization imposes on natural processes and the anxiety that may lie ahead globally.
This piece will be on display in Sculpture Corner, located in Art Alley.
This exhibition looks into a piece of North American history that existed for centuries, yet continues to be shameful to mention— slavery. Its value exceeded the total value of all the railroads, factories and all other businesses. The output of its forced laborer is unimaginable and key in the creation of the wealthiest nation on earth. The exhibit explores these ideas through a collection of slave artifacts supplied by Daryll Thomas.
This collection will be on display in the HUB-Robeson Galleries exhibit cases, located throughout the HUB-Robeson Center.
Howard Tran explores the Vietnamese/Chinese philosopher that is influenced by Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism in his To-Tien sculpture series. The exhibit stresses the ideas of simplicity, worship of ancestors, the cycles of life and connection to nature.
January 15- March 2
An artist reception will be held February 4, 4-6 p.m. It is free and open to the public. It is a First Thursday event.
Aubrie Sell's series is a response to places and things visited since December 2007. The result: paintings that are dreamlike visions of environments that might not exist, slippages or singularities in one person’s vision. In these works the paint is serving to not only document a landscape or figure, but to recreate a singular moment in time.

Paintings by Erica Harney
Calendar: Art On The Move
Posted by: HUB-Robeson Galleries
Location: Student Health Center
Details:
Harney’s oil and mixed media paintings are an expression of her interest in hybrid contradictions and how conflicting elements can either attract, repel or compete with each other. She works to mimick these ideas through tension and abstract elements in an array of landscape paintings.
