Hidden in the Layers Exhibition

Boston University Art Galleries presents Hidden in the Layers in 808 Gallery this fall.

Flat and colorful designs, black and white figures, and abstract compositions create the works in this exhibition…but there is more than meets the eye. This art exhibition brims with hidden and not-so-hidden meaning. From drawing inspiration from the old masters to highlighting motherhood to reacting to the current political landscapes – all seemingly disparate themes – these works are connected by their deeply layered, meaningful intentions. These prints are more than just the finished work on the walls; they are an exploration into the human condition. Hidden in the Layers features print media and photography artists, Charles Suggs (CFA'20), Joshua Brennan (Technical Associate, Printmaking and Photography; Lecturer, Printmaking), Lynne Allen (Professor of Art, Printmaking; Chair of Print Media & Photography), Deborah Cornell (Professor of Art, Printmaking; Chair of Printmaking), and Toni Pepe (Assistant Professor of Art; Chair, Department of Photography).
