UA Art Gallery Welcomes Nationally Renowned Painter

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The Sarah Moody Gallery of Art on The University of Alabama campus will feature an exhibit by acclaimed painter Clarence Morgan entitled “Clarence Morgan: Hybrid Archetype” from Oct. 24 - Nov. 23.

Morgan has participated in more than 100 individual and group exhibitions since 1979 and has been a member of the art faculty at the University of Minnesota since 1992. Morgan also has been a visiting artist and lecturer at universities across the United States.

Morgan’s style of painting emphasizes color, rhythm and pattern, and “Hybrid Archetype” promises to feature vivid colors and rich imagery. The abstract style allows the viewer to interpret the art for himself and make it more personal.

Morgan will give a lecture in 205 Smith Hall at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 23. An opening reception for the exhibit will be held on Friday, Oct. 24, in the Sarah Moody Gallery of Art, 103 Garland Hall, from 6-8 p.m.

Funding for the Sarah Moody Gallery of Art is provided by the UA College of Arts and Sciences, with additional funding provided by the College of Arts and Sciences’ Diversity Committee and the Visiting Artists Committee of the department of art. Gallery hours are Monday-Friday 9 a.m.- 4:30 p.m. and Sunday 2-5 p.m. For more information call 205/348-1891.
