Millersville Artist to Exhibit at 贬础颁颁 Lancaster Campus

Robert Andriulli will display his works, 淧ainterly Drawings, in the Art Space in the East Building of the Lancaster Campus from Nov. 3-Dec. 10, 2014.

A reception for the artist will be held Nov. 4 from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Hours of the exhibit are Monday-Thursday from 9 a.m.-7 p.m. and Friday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Both the exhibit and the reception are free and open to the public.

淭he drawings in this exhibition represent a wide range of subjects and ideas I檝e pursued in my artistic endeavors over the past three decades. All of the works are studio creations that evolve from other drawings and paintings created from direct observations, memory, invention, photos and discoveries made in the act of drawing, said Andriulli, a professor of art at Millersville University. 淐entral to the work is the exploration of the formal and expressive possibilities of a subject as revealed through the use of this particular medium and the language of art. What they share in common is my continued interest in seeking a visual equivalent that unites my experiences, musings and imagination.

Andriulli received a bachelor degree from William Paterson College of New Jersey in Newark, New Jersey, in 1975 and an MFA in painting from Penn State University in 1978. He formerly taught at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine; Seton Hall University in Orange, New Jersey; and Penn State University.

Andriulli has exhibited extensively over the past 25 years, including numerous shows in Delaware, Maine, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. Among the awards he has earned are Fellowship Grants from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1987 and the New Jersey State Council on the Arts in 1979 and 1985. His work is represented in numerous corporate and private collections and has been exhibited in solo shows at the Lancaster Museum of Art (1998) in Lancaster, Pennsylvania; the Westmoreland Museum of Art (1988) in Greensburg, Pennsylvania; and the Academy Art Museum in Easton, Maryland (2001). He has also participated in group museum shows, including the Ogunquit Museum of Art, the Bates College Museum of Art and the Colby College Museum of Art, all in Maine.
