BEYOND THE FLESH

Art Expressions welcomes Codruta N. Tolan to their gallery as their featured artist for October. Born in Valcea, Romania and now a resident of Brevard County, Tolan's work will be on exhibit through October.

"It all started with a simple look through a painting studio, a glance around the room fascinated me: the skeleton, the model, an animal skull!....Despite the general idea that bones are connected with death, decay and usually something unpleasant, I personally discovered a particular beauty in their intricacy and organic aspect of the forms. In my works bones represent history--history of our existence and our creation as beings. Therefore, my works tend to venture into what is "beyond the flesh", beyond this visible world."

Tolan has studied with graphic artist Matei Serban and at the Luceafarul Art Academy in Bucharest. She is currently involved in pursuing an AA degree at BCC.

Please join us as we welcome Codruta Tolan in her first solo exhibit! An artist reception will be held Sunday, September 30th, from 1 to 4pm.
