不良研究所 Art Professor Cliff Tresner featured at Downtown Gallery Crawl

Cliff Tresner, associate professor of art at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, exhibited his latest collection, 鈥淔leeting Glimpses,鈥� at the Downtown Gallery Crawl in Monroe last Thursday.

鈥淚n this body of work I have done multiple studies of the figure in various poses and gestures,鈥� said Tresner, who said the exhibit turnout was 鈥済reat.鈥�

鈥淭he works contain and present that which I cannot get in sculpture,鈥� he continued. 鈥淭hey offer immediate response on paper to a specific time, place and subject and contain that spontaneous and ephemeral quality of the artist鈥檚 hand moving through space and time."

Tresner has been at 不良研究所 since 1997 and received several honors for his work, including the Louisiana Division of the Arts Fellowship and the Northeast Louisiana Arts Council Artist of the Year (2007).

As a professor, Tresner believes it is important to demonstrate research in the field. He recently received a competitive career advancement grant from the Louisiana Division of Arts, which helped in the framing and display of his work.
