Artist Talk with Laura Colomb

Florida-based painter Laura Colomb will give an artist talk related to her current exhibition, Laura Colomb: Sinkhole, on Wednesday, February 5, at 4:30pm in the Upper Traylor Gallery. This event is free and open to the public. Refreshments and snacks will be available after the talk. No RSVP necessary. 

Colomb’s painting practice focuses on historic sites and preserve land within Florida, a place she sees as one of many dualities. For Colomb, the sinkhole embodies this duality. Sinkholes create crystal clear natural springs for swimming and diving, but they can also destroy lives and property within seconds, holding both intense wonder and terror alike. Laura Colomb: Sinkhole explores this contradiction and those contradictions inherent in our current and historic use (and abuse) of our environments. This exhibition will be on view from January 22 through February 28 in the Upper Traylor Gallery.
