LWC Begley Gallery features frescoes and silverpoint pieces The exhibition includes total of 19 fresco and silverpoint pieces are on display. The silverpoint works are drawings that were created with a little piece of silver. Click on headline for complete story with photo(s) By Duane Bonifer News from Lindsey Wilson College COLUMBIA, KY - Works by Bowling Green, KY, artist Michael Nichols are on display Mondays-Fridays, 8am-4pmCT, November 10-21, 2014, in the Lucretia C. Begley Art Gallery at Lindsey Wilson College, Slider Hall, 155 Blue Raider Drive, KY. The exhibition includes total of 19 fresco and silverpoint pieces are on display. The silverpoint works are drawings that were created with a little piece of silver. He said the buon frescoes featured in the exhibit combine the ancient with the modern. "The technique is very old - it goes back to the ancient Romans - and I'm doing contemporary frescoes, so I'm trying to see if there are ways that I can push the technique a little bit to reflect the times a bit more," said Nichols, who teaches art at Western Kentucky University. Nichols said he has been an artist "as long as I can remember," and he became interested in creating frescoes when he studied art at Fontbonne (MO) University. Nichols honed his skill in the buon fresco technique while studying at the Fresco School in Los Angeles. "Historical imagery has been very important to me for a long time, and I went to a school that's rooted in traditional techniques," he said. "I think that was probably the beginning, it sparked my interest." Nichols said the inspiration for the 19 pieces in the LWC exhibit came from different sources. "I'm interested in imagery, and I think I'm always reflecting on metaphysical ideas ... the bigness and greatness of things," he said. "My work is more of a mediation and kind of a reflecting on the idea that there is so much beyond what I can sense and comprehend." This story was posted on 2014-11-08 11:19:42
