Click on headline for full story plus photo(s) By Duane Bonifer News from Lindsey Wilson College, Columbia, KY Rivers have inspired humankind since the beginning of art. But in a current exhibit at Lindsey Wilson College, artist Lynn Dunbar's works take a somewhat nontraditional view of the Ohio River. In 17 oil paintings on display in the LWC Lucretia C. Begley Gallery, Dunbar explores the shape and colors of the Ohio River Valley from an aerial point of view. The public is invited to meet Dunbar and discuss her latest work at a reception, which will be held at 3pmCT. on Thursday, February 24, 2011, in the LWC W.W. Slider Humanities Center Recital Hall, 155 Blue Raider DR, Columbia, KY. room 100. That will be followed by a 4:30pmCT presentation in the Begley Gallery. Both events are free and open to the public. Dunbar, who works in a studio in Louisville, KY, said she got the idea for her recent exhibit while working on a book for the Indiana Plein Air Painters Association.. "When I was working on that project it occurred to me that this would be an excellent way to show the river and also different aspects of agriculture as well," she said.. To create the 17 paintings in her exhibit at Lindsey Wilson, Dunbar shot pictures out of a window of a chartered plane where she said she chased "patterns and play of light across the land's surface through seasonal changes.". "This project took me a couple of years, but it was very interesting to see the river and farms from this perspective," she said.. A graduate of Purdue University, Lafayette, IN, Dunbar began her career as a commercial artist with advertising agencies before becoming a full-time artist.. Her work over the years has portrayed scenes of life around her with colorful and energetic strokes. She has strived to capture what she calls "fleeting moments of light and feeling through luminous colors and expressive brushwork.". "A good piece of art can transport us to a different season, time, or place," she said.. Dunbar's work expresses ephemeral moments of light and atmosphere and moments of transitory beauty with impressionist style. Her works also convey a love of the land, as well as the spirituality of everyday life.. Dunbar said she hopes viewers of her current exhibit will "smile when they see my paintings.". "I hope they smile because it's kind of cool, and I hope they feel unbalanced looking at them because they are a little off-kilter," she said.. Lynn Dunbar's exhibit will be on display through Feb. 24 in the Lindsey Wilson College Lucretia C. Begley Art Gallery, which is in the W.W. Slider Humanities Center, 155 Blue Raider DR, Columbia, KY. Gallery hours are 8am-4pmCT Monday-Friday. A reception will be held at 3pmCT on February 24, 2011,with a presentation to follow at 4:30pmCT. This story was posted on 2011-02-14 06:57:00
