Three Wright State professor emeriti of art have collaborated on a new exhibition of prints and paintings at the Dayton Visual Arts Center.<\/p>\n

The exhibit features works by professor emeriti Raymond Must and Ernest Koerlin and is curated by professor emeritus David Leach.<\/p>\n

Must, a printmaker, and Koerlin, a painter, explore the people, places and things of their lives in the retrospective exhibition. Leach organized the exhibition to highlight a range of work by two of the most influential artists in the Miami Valley.<\/p>\n

\u201cOil and Water: Raymond Must and Ernest Koerlin\u201d runs from May 9 to June 21. An opening reception will be held Friday, May 9, 5\u201310 p.m. during downtown Dayton\u2019s Urban Nights, and a free gallery talk is planned for Thursday, June 12, at 6:15 p.m. The Dayton Visual Arts Center is located at 118 North Jefferson Street in Dayton.<\/p>\n

The exhibit was selected from 117 applications through the art center’s 2012 biennial call for exhibitions.<\/p>\n

Koerlin and Must each taught drawing, printmaking and painting at Wright State for more than 30 years and have created art for more than 45.<\/p>\n

While stylistically different, their work shares many common motifs, traits and themes.\u00a0\u201cEach has a rare capacity to be led by an educated yet facile curiosity,\u201d Leach said. \u201cIn this dual exhibition, oil and water do readily mix, as revealed in the fluidity of their individual marks and gestures.\u201d<\/p>\n

Koerlin\u2019s artistic training and graduate work at Yale University provided a wide scope of potential directions to pursue. Influential figures as diverse as Jack Tworkov and Bernard Chaet left their mark, leaving Koerlin with a deep respect and understanding of abstraction and the traditions of figuration and the landscape.<\/p>\n

Must\u2019s close ties with Sidney Chafetz at The Ohio State University encouraged a sense of art as storytelling and belief sharing. Both artists have a keen understanding of art\u2019s long and diverse history and share in their abilities to express this through their work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
