Paintings explore Southwest

Southwestern Showdown, a South Campus art exhibit, will feature works by John Rust.

“ [Rust’s] paintings highly reflect a Southwest influence rendered with a pop-art flare in style, Paul Benero, associate art professor on South Campus, said.

The public can view Rust’s work in the Carillon Gallery of the Performing Arts Center on South Campus, Jan. 19-Feb. 16. The exhibit will be open noon-3 p.m. Monday-Thursday with a closing reception on Feb. 16.

Students can meet with Rust between 6 and 8 p.m. during the closing reception.

The entire exhibition, South Campus’ first of the season, and reception are free.

Call the art department for more information.
