The Drake Art Gallery–featuring SPA alum Duke Nguyen’s collection, “Spreading Ashes”–opened on Oct. 8. The collection, dedicated to Nguyen’s late sister, was a way for him to come to terms with his grief. “Death is represented in paint,” he wrote in a poem regarding the gallery. “This is how I heal.”
The collection, comprised of 22 works, portrays a range of colors, patterns and other visual details. The paintings primarily highlight themes of fire and liquid, as well as botanical motifs: particularly cherry blossoms.
Nguyen will be hosting an artist reception on Nov. 8 from 5-7 p.m. The exhibition will run until Nov. 8.
ART BREAK. Sophomore Miles Messier takes a few minutes during a free period to admire the paintings on display.
