Clark’s MFA in Visual Arts program presents an Art Talk with visiting faculty RJ Messineo. RJ Messineo makes paintings involving observation and abstraction. Messineo engages a wide and sometimes incongruous range of scale relationships, mark-making, and compositional structures to make the paintings, from expressionist gesture, to process-based systems and chance encounters. Messineo is represented by CANADA, New York, NY, and Morán Morán, Los Angeles and has exhibited at venues such as: Pace Gallery, James Cohan Gallery, Thomas Erben Gallery, all in New York, NY; Ceysson & Bénétière, Koerich, Luxembourg; and Night Gallery, Los Angeles.
