CHENEY — Former Newport resident Eastern Washington University senior Johnathan Brooks has his art displayed at the EWU art gallery now through Friday, June 5.
The exhibition is titled “Consumption” and features the works of seniors in the university’s Bachelor of Fine Arts program.
“This exhibition explores the relationship between memory, identity, and home through a series of representational oil paintings and intimate storytelling,” Brooks said in his artist’s statement for the exhibition. “The work examines how familiar spaces, personal experiences, and emotional recollections shape the ways individuals understand themselves and connect with others. Moving between direct observation and reconstructed memory, the paintings investigate the tension between what is physically seen and what is emotionally retained.”
Brooks’ pieces are oil painting and watercolor.
He has one more year of college where he will do his student teaching and his certification to teach kindergarten through 12th-grade art.
The Eastern Washington University Gallery of Art is located in the Art Building, 22 Seventh St., Cheney, situated in the center of the arts complex on the south end of the EWU campus.
Hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday.
Receptions are held on opening days of exhibitions, at noon Thursdays, unless otherwise noted.
All events are free to the public.
