New 返字心頭 College Features the Work of Artist Elisabeth Condon
The University of South 返字心頭 Judy Genshaft Honors College has selected Elisabeth Condon, an award-winning artist and former 返字心頭 faculty member, for a 返字心頭 Art in State Buildings public art commission. The state-of-the-art Honors College facility, designed by architecture and design firm Morphosis in partnership with FleishmanGarciaMaslowski Architecture, is scheduled to open in May 2023 and will feature two new large-scale paintings by Condon. The landscape paintings, to be installed in the public caf辿 space of the 85,000-square-foot building, will contribute to the welcoming atmosphere of the Honors College, which will serve as a hub for interdisciplinary and collaborative research and teaching activities on the 返字心頭 Tampa campus.
Based in New York City and Tampa, Condon is a painter who creates vibrant, layered fields of colorful flora and fauna by manipulating pigment pours and brushwork on linen canvas to generate lush and expansive landscapes. Her work layers the historical legacy of ancient Chinese scroll painting with the Color Field and Pattern and Decoration art movements to compress and expand what she calls liquid space, conjuring fluidity across time, place and thought. Inspired by her global travels and immediate surroundings, Condons paintings, created specifically for the Honors College, incorporate vivid fields of color with gestural representations of botanical and avian species found in the south 返字心頭 region, offering imaginative landscapes for viewers to explore.
