The MFA program in Painting<\/a> connects the interests, sensibilities, and lived experiences of each student with the expansive possibilities of the medium. Students develop distinct artistic practices which, collectively, yield a wide array of material and conceptual approaches. Though their work takes many forms, overlapping interests emerge: time, landscape, attention, embodiment, movement, logic, and language. These seventeen extraordinary artists have grown in tandem with one another, sharing their challenges, successes, and failures. They\u2019ve proven that the regularity of a practice, no matter how reliable or experimental, provides stability. Through the vantage of their studios and the commitment to their work, these students have witnessed and made sense of a time of great turbulence and transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
