Reception Thursday for Nevada Arts Council exhibit 'A study of Human' at OXS Gallery
Prints by artist Eunkang Koh makeup the latest exhibit at OXS Gallery in Carson City. Within the offices of the Nevada Arts Council, OXS provides a public space for talented Nevada artists to share their work. The new exhibit is now open and runs through Nov.16. The Arts Council will sponsor an artist talk and free reception from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 27 at 716 N. Carson St. Guests are welcome.
In her work, A Study of Human, Eunkang Koh uses intaglio printmaking to depict creatures that are part human and part animal, living and interacting in a world without the pretense, she said, that human behavior is altogether different from animal behavior.
“As these creatures interact, they produce ironic gestures that are both humorous and grotesque at the same time,” Koh said. “These hybrids represent those humans who are dimwitted, not knowing or choosing to see anything outside of the facts they are taught.”
Koh is assistant professor in printmaking at the University of Nevada, Reno. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Hong-Ik University in Seoul, Korea and a master’s degree from California State University, Long Beach. She has had significant solo exhibitions in South Korea, San Francisco, Spain, China and Bulgaria. She received a Nevada Arts Council Artist Fellowship Honorable Mention Grant for fiscal year 2013.
OXS – Office Exhibition Series is managed by the Artist Services Program of the Nevada Arts Council, a division of Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs. Funding is provided by the Nevada State Legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts. The OXS gallery features artists who have been recognized by NAC through its Artist Fellowships or the Governor’s Arts Awards. The gallery is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and admission is free.
