Hosts Exhibitions by Goran Fazil and Ray Esparsen
Lewis-Clark State College Center for Arts & History presents
the work of Goran Fazil
in Gallery I,
a series of acrylic, ink and charcoal images by artist Goran
Fazil. Goran’s work runs
simultaneously with an installation by Ray Esparsen in
Gallery II, January 11, 2008 through February 8,
2008.
Artist Goran Fazil’s life has been shaped by the turmoil and change
of civil war in his homeland, the former Yugoslavia. In
1993, Goran left the region of present-day Bosnia and
Herzegovina and escaped to Italy where an artist took him
into his studio. Subsequently, Fazil pursued an education
in Fine Arts and attended the Fine Art High School in
Italy. In 1997, he emigrated to the United States and began
attending Albertson College of Idaho in Boise. Now 28,
he is
currently working toward an MFA at the University of Idaho
and will complete his degree in 2009.
His creativity is expressed through a variety of media and
explores the many facets of social conflict such as
violence, destruction, displacement, racism, warfare.
Artist Ray Esparsen’s two and three-dimensional installation
explores the parameters drawn, physically and culturally,
when borders are imposed on people, places and cultures.
Esparsen’s work examines those boundaries and the resulting
targets that permeate relationships, both positive and
negative, within the constructs of cross-cultural
interactions. Ray Esparsen, whose work has been exhibited
locally and internationally, is currently the Professor of
Fine Arts at Lewis-Clark State College.
The Center for Arts & History, a department of Community
Programs at Lewis-Clark State College, promotes community
exposure to; involvement in; and understanding of;
Performing, Literary, and Visual Arts and area History. For
