Showcasing work by nine current and recent graduates of The Art Students League’s Certificate Program
The Art Students League of New York is pleased to present the Final Project Exhibition, which includes the work of nine emerging artists following the culmination of a four-year course of study in the Fine Arts at The League, and offers students the opportunity to present a cohesive body of work in their selected discipline. The Certificate Program provides a strong foundation for artistic development and is designed to cultivate the growth of the individual artist’s talent within The League’s renowned atelier system. The Certificate Program consists of a prescribed course of study that leads to professional certification from The Art Students League of New York in one of the major disciplines: Painting, Printmaking, Sculpture, Drawing or Mixed Media.
Canan Atalay works in ceramics to create human and animal forms, Francis Nguyen creates relief sculptures as well as fully three-dimensional works and drawings in classical figurative imagery. Printmaker Miho Hiranouchi uses etching and aquatint to create flowing colorful forms and larger jewel-like works in watercolor in monotype. The strong reds in the lipstick-inspired oil paintings by Shajeel Rehman reference pop art and advertising. Young Shin Kim works from the figure and presents a series that centers on the subject of women, all of whom are avoiding the gaze of the viewer and instead appear to focus on their own personal spaces. Additionally, Antonio Sanches predominantley works with models and incorporates other imagery, using photography as a base for works. Lush landscapes and quiet still lifes are seen in the paintings of Michael Murton. Leila Yassami Ghodsi uses lively brush strokes in her oil paintings of figures, landscapes and still lifes. Elizabeth Liangzi Wang uses digital techniques to create her Rococo inspired portraits.
