The artists in Disrupted Narratives confront and reimagine the stories that shape their identities. Each painting begins with a deeply held narrative, whether rooted in family, culture, personal experience, or societal norms, and introduces elements of disruption, pushing against what feels familiar.
Through unexpected combinations of form, subject, and material, the works unravel assumptions about who we are and how we see ourselves. Inner monologues, reinterpreted cultural myths, and reconfigured moments of personal or collective history intertwine in these pieces, offering a glimpse into the fluidity of storytelling.

Disrupted Narratives invites viewers to reflect on the power and agency of rewriting their own stories, revealing the beauty in ambiguity, the freedom in transformation, and the potential for new perspectives to emerge.

About ART 221:

This studio course focuses on the acquisition of basic painting skills. Colour theory is used in increasingly intentional ways as students explore strategies of using picture plane, shape, plane, volume, and brushstroke. Students are involved in issues of how personal voice and concerns translate into painting practices.
