If looks can kill, then the images in this exhibition need to come with a warning. As windows to the soul, the eyes tell it all. Fitting then that the artworks in this exhibition, many of which are self-portraits, show figures with intense expressions. Their penetrating gazes trigger an exchange or mental interaction between the viewer and subject. All this intensity, however, does not necessarily signal mental imbalance, but rather reflects the potency of the sitters’ emotions. Gaze...

The human head is the nexus of thought, emotion, and expression. Four of our five senses are located there.

A number of the pieces are portraits of specific individuals and they present some interesting artistic linkages....

This exhibition will feature photography and time-based media created in the last ten years by established and emerging artists who sensitively reveal, with radical openness, the current notion of family.
The exhibition is curated by Alison Ferris and organized by the John Michael Kohler...

This exhibition of sculptures by Arlene Shechet offers an up-to-the-minute look at her iconoclastic approach to ceramics. Shechet favors improvisational methods and a trial-and-error process over methodical and technical facility. At once comically awkward and elegantly poised, her paradoxical forms teeter, lean, bulge, torque, and reach in multiple directions at once, defying their own weight. Shechet’s latest works combine a cartoonish demeanor with painterly effects. She constantly...
As the MOA commemorates its 50th year, this student-curated retrospective exhibit showcases the museum’s history through a detailed timeline featuring photographs from the institutional archives and artifacts from around the world.

MOA’s new permanent exhibit provides an overview of the ceramics produced by families at the Changsha Kilns during the Tang Dynasty more than one thousand years ago. The exhibit puts Tang ceramics into their historical, geographic, and cultural context. The Tang Dynasty was a time of peace, prosperity, and acceptance in China, during which Changsha ceramics and other goods were traded to reach as far away as western Asia and Africa. The exhibit features more than 100 spectacular...
Los Angeles-based artist Annie Lapin draws much of her inspiration from her personal memory of historical works of art. Working from her imagination, Lapin builds up her images in layers, allowing them to develop over time. The resulting works are highly evocative impressions that capture the emotional experience of encountering some historical paintings. Her exhibition at the Weatherspoon will include recent and new works that evoke landscape and figuration yet remain open-ended and...
In her fantastical, hybrid works, Atlanta-based and Korean-born Jiha Moon combines traditional Asian landscape-painting techniques with American Modern and Pop Art influences. Composed with flowing, gestural brushstrokes, and an array of iconic references (emoticons, Lucky Cats, lotus blossoms, scrolls), Moon’s imaginative mash-ups offer an intense experience. Her colorful compositions blur the lines between East and West to speak to the cultural pluralism of contemporary society.
Nancy Rubins is one of the foremost sculptors working today, with an extensive list of solo and group exhibitions in this country and abroad, and a series of some of the most impressive sculptural commissions executed over the last decade. This exhibition will be the first to consider the relationships between the artist’s works on paper and sculpture. Common to both are Rubins’s adventurous confrontation with gravity, the transformation of industria l— or seemingly...
