The Student Union Gallery will host the exhibit “Monuments” through Wednesday, Sept. 18. The display features work by Lydia Goldbeck, a UNC Charlotte alumna.
According to Goldbeck, she hopes to captivate viewers with a sense of intimacy through her confrontational pieces created through raw and unpolished surfaces.
“My artwork is an expression of the terrifying yet beautiful nature of the human experience and the incredible power of the individual,” said Goldbeck.
Liz Walton, art gallery coordinator, noted “Students will be inspired by the unique method of creativity to create their own art employing similar methods” after viewing the exhibit.
Goldbeck graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting and a minor in art history from the UNC Charlotte in 2011. A winner of “Best in Show” at the Hart Witzen Gallery for her work “Showdown,” Goldbeck continued her education as an artist-in residence at the Vermont Studio Center in March 2013.
In addition to serving as a guest lecturer, Goldbeck has exhibited many of her works throughout the Carolinas.
