Truckee Meadows Community College (TMCC) Art Galleries is currently showcasing four new exhibitions featuring both visiting and local artists. The Main Gallery presents works by Bay Area artists Courtney Sennish and Lisa Rock, while the third-floor galleries host solo exhibitions by three local artists. These exhibitions are open to the public from November 12 to December 5 at various locations on the Dandini Campus.
The opening reception for these exhibits will take place on November 13 from 5-7 p.m. at the V. James Eardley Student Center and Red Mountain Gallery. Visitors can enjoy refreshments as they explore the art.
Courtney Sennish and Lisa Rock's exhibition, "Roadside Attraction," explores urban infrastructure's relationship with natural growth through sculpture and two-dimensional works. "Roadside Attraction explores the dynamic relationship between urban infrastructure and natural growth," said Kyle Karrasch, Art Galleries Curator.
Sogand Tabatabaei's "Stitching in Silence, Beneath the Skin" is displayed in the Red Mountain Gallery. Her work delves into personal and collective memories of home using Persian miniature painting influences. "In Stitching in Silence, Beneath the Skin, the artist intricately weaves personal and collective narratives," Karrasch commented.
Eddie Guth's exhibition "Ded and Co." is showcased in the Erik Lauritzen Gallery. Guth experiments with materials beyond traditional oil painting techniques to create textured works that invite deeper viewer engagement. Karrasch noted, "In this dynamic collection, the artist embarks on a transformative journey transcending traditional oil painting techniques."
Grace Herzog’s series "Succumbed" is featured in the Red Mountain Student Gallery. Herzog examines death as a universal experience through paintings depicting stages of grief influenced by Memento Mori themes. Herzog explained her work: “Death, a universal experience, weaves through the fabric of our lives.”
