Running at Artway from January 6th to 26th, Visual Ramblings consists primarily of work created by Stephanie Czolij at the University of Guelph. Currently in the final semester for her Bachelor of Arts Honours, Stephanie was a VAB youth class member for 21/2 years.At Guelph, she is majoring in Studio Art with a minor in Art History. She tells us:
"In my art historical studies, I’ve been most interested with the Baroque and Renaissance periods as well as the art and culture of Ancient Greece. In Studio Art I have had the opportunity to investigate a variety of art forms, but I’ve concentrated on drawing, computer graphics, and have most recently developed a greater interest in painting."The exhibit includes drawings, paintings, prints and a couple of digital works. She believes the pieces show her development as an artist over the past few years, and the techniques and styles she experiments with and develops.
The majority of her work is fairly light-hearted--Stephanie insists on keeping things fun while trying to fulfill assignment requirements. Much of the work also reflects her interest in illustration.
Pictured is "My Masterpiece", based on a Roy Liechenstein, and a painting featuring Bambi and Mickey Mouse, called "Untitled".
