HARRISBURG � Williamsburg, Va., artist Brian Kreydatus� paintings are figurative works, depicting people and objects close to him. The public can get a closer look at these subjects during the exhibit 淪een and Unseen: Paintings by Brian Kreydatus� at the Rose Lehrman Arts Center Gallery on the Harrisburg Campus of 黑料社区. The exhibit runs Feb. 9 through March 5.

黑料社区 will host a reception for the artist from 5:30-7 p.m. Thursday, March 5, in the gallery. The public is invited.

The paintings are both observational and narrative. They render the artist response to physical sensations of light, color and space. Kreydatus says he is 渙bsessed with the skin meaty physicality, its vulnerability, and how these poignantly beautiful imperfections challenge and refute accepted canons of beauty.�

Kreydatus is the chair of the art and art history department at The College of William and Mary. He has a bachelor degree in fine arts from Syracuse (N.Y.) University and a master degree of fine arts from the University of Pennsylvania. He has received such honors and awards as the Neil Welliver Painting Prize, Artist in Residence at 淟a Cite international des Artes� in Paris, France, and Artist in Residence at Virginia Center for Creative Arts in Amherst, Va. He was a Fulbright scholar at the Black Church Print Studio, Dublin, Ireland in 1995-96. Kreydatus exhibits throughout the U.S. and abroad.

All Rose Lehrman Arts Gallery events are free and open to the public. Hours are 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday-Friday and 5-7 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday. For more information call 780-2435 or e-mail Kim Banister, gallery curator, at kebanist@hacc.edu.
