CONWAY, Arkansas (May
30, 2023) — Professor Matthew Lopas will be featured in an exhibition entitled
“panelspheres” at the Washington Art Association and Gallery in Washington
Depot, Connecticut, on June 10-23, 2023.
There will be an opening
reception Saturday, June 10, from 4 to 6 p.m., at 4 Bryan Memorial Plaza,
Washington Depot, Connecticut. The Washington Art Association
is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon
to 4 p.m. For more information, visit www.washingtonartassociation.org.
The exhibit will
feature a variety of different works in different mediums by Lopas and fellow
artists Jackie Lima and Mark Lewis. These
three accomplished artists have exhibited extensively throughout their
careers with works in many private and public collections.
“Rather than just
look at a place from a distance, my work invites the viewer to actually inhabit
the spaces depicted,” Lopas explained. “A possibility of being intimately
present in a place is created. We see that the world is wonderfully alive
through our own living vision.”
Lopas has previously
been recognized for his “global panorama” paintings of various locations. His
work has been featured in various exhibitions including the McKinney
Avenue Contemporary and Bowery Gallery Invitational Exhibition.
Lopas joined the
Hendrix faculty in 1999. He earned his bachelor’s degree at the University of
Michigan in 1983. In 1991, he completed his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from
the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Four years later, he completed his
Master of Fine Arts degree from the Yale School of Art.
