Shen Exhibit at PAC Through April
Artist Byron Shen will exhibit a collection of his
paintings, "Emerging Light: Works by Byron Shen," in the
PAC's Gallery from April 1-30.
Byron Shen was born in Hong Kong and grew up in Chevy Chase,
Maryland. He received a B. A. in English and Writing from Juniata
College in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania and an M.F.A. in Painting from
Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. He
currently is on the board of the Oklahoma Visual Artist Coalition
and teaches art at the Holland Hall Upper School.
"My paintings are emotional landscapes, places to be traveled
internally. In many of them it is where the horizon is far away and
it is the journey that leaves its mark upon the viewer. The driving
force behind my painting is in the process, which resides in an
intuitive and spiritual nature. In order to interpret some of these
sojourns, I have attempted to formulate a way of painting that
translates these passages. Hopefully, the viewer will have a way of
entering into a dialogue with the work and that is both seen but
more importantly, felt."
