Investigations in areas such as social commentary, the environment and material processes
are embedded in paintings, ceramics, prints, sculptures and more. The diverse content
and techniques on display represent the breadth of research being conducted by the
Art Program faculty. Happening only once every three years, this exhibition is a special
opportunity to see studio faculty work in one exhibition.

January 14 – February 17, 2022
In 2009, the FGCU Art Galleries first presented its collection of Purvis Young’s work
to the university and community as a celebration of a gift from Miami’s Rubell Family
Collection. This year, in celebration of African American talent, history and art,
the galleries are presenting Purvis Young’s work in two arenas: the FGCU ArtLab and
the Black History Museum of Fort Myers.
Purvis Young worked with materials that he found, recycled, put together, recreated
and constructed. His contextually uncluttered approach to art made no assumptions
about what should or should not be used to produce his works, or how such materials
should be combined. Born in 1943 in Miami’s Liberty City neighborhood, Young is most
associated with the Overtown neighborhood where he settled in his 20s. Young’s work
touched on social and racial themes, depicting the struggles and joys of Miami’s poor
black community, but the story he recorded in paint is the story of everywhere. His
concerns were universal. His view from the street was the view of the people. Heads,
figures, animals and icons appear within the abstractions of his layered and complex
compositions.
Sponsored by Gene and Lee Seidler; the State of Florida, Department of State, Division
of Arts and Culture and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture; and WGCU Public Media
The Galleries are open Monday-Friday from 10:00 am-4:00 pm, and closed weekends, all
FGCU hollidays and breaks, and for the summer. More information can be found at https://www.fgcu.edu/artgalleries/currentseason/#CurrentShow

January 28 – March 3, 2022
Social injustice and the economic and political structures that perpetuate oppression,
racism in America, the refugee crisis and the current global political environment,
are all issues that have been subjects in Travis Somerville’s work. He often uses
stereotypical and confrontational racial imagery for its nostalgic familiarity, asking
the viewer to confront their internal feelings about racism and class struggle. Somerville
grew up in the Southern United States in the tumultuous 1960's and 70's surrounded
by the Southern gentility that harbored underlying racism and hostility. These social
dualities, contradictions and hypocrisies are exposed in his work paintings, drawings,
sculptures and installations.

with social commentary, Collins works with stencils, silhouettes and cutouts of varying
materials. She layers and juxtaposes these elements to activate the space as a stage
for a cast of characters and symbols. The challenges of communication in daily life
and the emotions they trigger fill the landscape of images.

At the end of their studies, art majors are required to develop and present a coherent
body of self-generated work. This exhibition combines their knowledge of techniques
and concepts while drawing on research of historical and contemporary artists. Each
senior art major in the exhibition designs and creates a unique installation that
combines their technical skills and conceptual vision.
