Professor Barbara Keim’s Digital Computer Graphics Exhibited Internationally
As Women’s History Month comes to a close, it’s especially important to highlight women-oriented events which took place this March. Far away from our Western Massachusetts campus, Barbara Keim’s art exhibit at the Holy Art Gallery in London showcased the talent of the ý State faculty member for the world.
Keim had four pieces in the gallery’s “Aura” show, all presenting an homage to another women artist – Frida Kahlo, an artist who Keim describes as a woman who persevered despite facing many hardships in her life.
She notes, “Frida Kahlo was an incredible woman of her time period” with a “profound physical and emotional essence.” This essence inspired Keim’s colorful art which aimed to draw attention to Kahlo’s ideology that “life is a gamble.”
The dazzling collection of artwork featuring intense, vibrant hues of blue, indigo, and red was on display in London February 13 – March 13 of this year.
Keim’s work has also been featured at the which runs through the end of the month.
