Description:
The Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech presents an Art Reception for "Peaceable Kingdom" on Thursday, May 9, 2019 in the Grand Lobby of the Moss Arts Center.

The Moss Arts Center’s newest exhibition will feature Roanoke-based artist Gerry Bannan’s latest work, which has ventured into a new direction, introducing color and a variety of small creatures in magical forest and riverbank scenes.

In a departure from his characteristic ballpoint pen still lifes, Bannan has ventured in a new direction, working with watercolor on Yupo paper, a brilliant white Japanese watercolor paper. This exhibition focuses on this new body of work, in which the artist introduces color, as well as birds, plants, and other small creatures in vivid, meticulously rendered forest and riverbank scenes.

Bannan received a bachelor of fine arts degree in printmaking from Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia and a master of fine arts degree in painting from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. He is a long-term professor of fine arts at Patrick Henry Community College in Martinsville, Virginia. His work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions throughout the state of Virginia, as well as in Atlanta and Philadelphia.

Admission is free and all are welcome.

This exhibition will be on display until June 1, 2019.

The Moss Arts Center’s galleries are regularly open from Monday-Friday, from 10:00 am until 5:30 pm and on Saturday from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm.
