Visit Butler Community College’s first art exhibit this semester in the Erman B. White Gallery of Art Monday, Aug. 26 - Saturday, Sept. 14, featuring the award-winning artist, Tyler Griese. A “Meet the Artist” reception will be held Thursday, Sept. 5 from 6 – 8 p.m.
Griese’s work has shown nationally and internationally at the Mas Arte Gallery in Quito, Ecuador. The artist is an Assistant Professor of Art at Tulsa Community College, teaching painting and drawing.
“This work showcases the fleeting pause right on the brink of a monumental moment. I explore tensions between internal and external factors,” Griese explains. “Color and light play against each other to tell a story of interpersonal relationships, relationships with the environment, and ultimately the collective of human experience. These paintings have elements of voyeurism and confrontation as the viewer ruminates through moments of their own lives. I hope the viewer finds connection through shared emotions and experiences.”
