The Integration of Tradition and Change: Paintings by Kenneth Freed
The Muskegon Community College Overbrook Art Gallery is please to present this exhibit. It is linked to the Muskegon Area Arts and Humanities Festival '08 with the theme of "Tradition and Change". The artists faces both these fears of tradition and change, embracing academic painting traditions passed down through centuries while at the same time allowing for radical experimentation within the same canvas. Sections of Freed's paintings morph from one style into another, straddling an ambiguous space inclusive of both photorealistic images and completely nonrepresentational passages. Exhibits are always free and open to the public. Gallery hours are 9:00 am to 4:30 pm weekdays. (open also during special weekend and evening hours during theatre performances, receptions, and gallery talks). The Muskegon Community College is located at 221 S. Quarterline Road.
