Reception: Friday, November 6, 5–7 pm

Faculty member Alain Corbel’s upbringing on a small farm on the north coast of Brittany in France has had a major influence on his personal work. Now, as he travels personally and profes­sionally, he carries with him the sense of place that he developed growing up on the farm. His solo exhibition, The Garden of Kon­golote, will show part of the raw material produced in Maputo, Mozambique, Cape Verde, and São Tomé and Príncipe.

“I sometimes felt as if I was taking handfuls of life from around me to putting it in my drawings,” Corbel said. “In fact, it was there that I realized that I should mix drawings, photos, and text for this graphic novel project.”

Gallery hours: Monday-Saturday, 10 am-5 pm; Sunday, noon-5 pm; closed major holidays.
