She is the recipient of a 2007 Individual Photographer’ David Hornung, professor of art, received his MFA in painting from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, WI and his BA in fine art from the University of Delaware-Newark, DE. His work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally. He is the author and designer of a color textbook (Color: A Workshop for Artists and Designers) that is widely used and has been translated into five languages. Hornung has been teaching art at art schools and universities for four decades and has been on the faculty of the Art and Art History Department at Adelphi University since 2004. In this exhibition, he will feature a group of cyanotypes made from cut paper collages. Influenced by his love for 19th century marble dust painting, these micro dramas reflect shadow puppetry and the cut paper animation of Lotte Reiniger. His pictographic renderings compose simple scenes of people alone and together under the night skies, beset by the dreams and dangers of existence. These pictures have evolved from his long-term fascination with the mystery that unfolds when the narrative and decorative are intermingled. Christopher Saucedo, associate professor of art, received his MFA from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor and his BFA from New York’s School of Visual Arts. After attending the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, he did post-graduate work at the Queens University of Belfast, Northern Ireland. Saucedo retired as research professor and chair of the Department of Fine Arts at the University of New Orleans where he ran the sculpture program for 20 years. He is the recipient of numerous awards including recent grants from the Pollack-Krasner Foundation, The Joan Mitchell Foundation and the New York Foundation for the Arts.
