The Emperor's New Clothes:
Contemporary Paintings and Drawings by Donald Vaccino
This exhibition features extraordinary artworks that are done from memory, imagination, observation or a combination of the three. They do not conform to usual expectations in that apparently different styles co-exist. The distinction between the figurative, realistic, naturalistic and abstract is regarded by Vaccino as an artificial one. Furthermore, the works vary in size from tiny sumi brush drawings to abstract, life-size images. "They are done in the spirit in which a musician practices with the intent of keeping my eye and hand in shape," explains Vaccino.

March 20-May 22, 2008
Salon 2008
Works of art by students enrolled in Fairfield's Studio Art Program in the Department of Visual and Performing Arts are featured in this salon style exhibition of paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures and installations. Representational, abstract and conceptual pieces will outline the space, and works by Junior and Senior Studio Art Majors are highlighted as they weave through and dot the exhibition space.

June 12-July 31, 2008
Falling and Floating: Paintings by Tom Weaver; Curated by Jo Yarrington, professor, Studio Art Program, Fairfield University
This exhibition features paintings on paper by Tom Weaver, Chair, Department of Art at Hunter College. Weaver's range of painterly means encodes subtle contradictions in his works which combine the "immediacy of touch" of "pointillist" drawing, glazing technique, blending, scumbling and dripping with "mechanized" devices for repetition, found wood blocks and decorative-pattern rollers. These combination assemblage images are not seamless but rather assert and question their own authority. The artist communicates states of introspection, absorption, isolation, revery and loss of control.
