The UHD O'Kane Gallery will host an exhibit by artist Sharon Sprung from Oct. 25 though Dec. 13. An opening reception will be from 6-8 p.m. Oct. 25 in the gallery.

A Brooklyn, New York native, Sprung is a painter celebrating the visual world. Recently honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award by The National Academy Museum and School of Fine Arts, Sprung has work in many private and public collections including Princeton University, Chase Manhattan Bank, The Federal Court House, New York City and The United States House of Representatives, Washington, D.C. She is a painting instructor at The Art Students League and a drawing and painting instructor at the National Academy Museum and School of Fine Arts.

Sprung's paintings are often inhabited by singular figures that, while vulnerable, present an individual in private thought suggesting each subject's essence and spirit. A central theme in these works is the balance of the physical body against the thoughts and feelings of the individual, contrasting impeccably drawn and painted figures with the thoughts and character of the subject veiled by design through posture and composition. In addition to large groups of figural works, a grouping of cityscapes continues to address issues of the space humans inhabit and how they perceive and are perceived.

Gallery Hours:
