The artwork of students Jacob Capone ’19 and Javi Santana ’19 (aka Jay Frostt) is on display in a dual works-in-progress exhibition at the Catherine Dower Center, room 190, through October 21.
The exhibition, titled 1967, featuring Jacob Capone’s No Luck, No Surprises, and Jay Frostt’s Lost Love, is the first of its kind at the University.
Each body of work presents its own narrative, and carries the signature expression of each artist; Capone’s haunting black and white paintings find a strange residence somewhere between sound slumber and sudden consciousness, having been inspired by a dream the artist had in which he received a whispered message from a lost and trusted soul; Frostt’s stunning compositions feature a cast of vibrant characters amid washes of brilliant color, figures in turmoil, longing to be desired, their stories unfolding on a pathway of designs running between dangerous love and Apocalypse.
