Galleries at Kean

Internationally recognized contemporary artist Knowledge Bennett will open a multimedia art exploration at Kean University, beginning Wednesday, September 1. Pieces of a Man, his latest body of work, focuses on matters of science, mathematics, spirituality and societal issues. 

Today’s cultural influences motivate our fashion choices and the contemporary art landscape. Artist Amanda Yoakum brings three-dimensional, Warhol influenced, pop culture art to Van sneakers. Paired with two-dimensional paintings, her unique perspective of the world comes out with color-rich elements of design. This combination of artworks inspire self-reflection about who we are and where we are as a society.

By bringing this exhibition to Kean University, we are able to harness the power of familiar imagery connecting students to art and encourage them to tap into their own creativity while learning about pop culture and social issues.

This culminating exhibition features the work of five remarkable artists who, in pursuing their Master’s Degree in Fine Arts, have deepened their artistic understandings and creative identities. See the work and hear from the artists and  Advanced Seminar instructor Professor Judy Wukitsch (Fine Arts) on the virtual event at on April 17, at 2pm

Artists: Chris Brandon, Paula Cox, Kristen Rusterholz, Eric Schiabor, Haoting Wang
