This exhibition in the Morris's Coggins Gallery will give visitors the opportunity to view the work of Bryan LeBoeuf, a young and talented artist from Houma, Louisiana. LeBoeuf holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from the New York Academy of Art, where his classes were patterned on those of the Renaissance-inspired European ateliers. Informed by the techniques of the Old Masters, the Realist Paintings by Bryan LeBoeuf incorporate beautifully painted surfaces, careful composition, and almost Baroque lighting effects. His subject matter may be traditional in appearance but it is quite contemporary in its psychological and social implications. Many of his paintings suggest open-ended relationships between the figures he depicts-often parents, children, siblings, partners, and other family members-and their interaction with moody environments.
LeBoeuf's exhibition at the Morris is his first solo show at a major museum, following several solo and group exhibitions at his New York City gallery. While museums in the northern and Midwestern states are beginning to show considerable interest in his paintings, the Morris is the first museum in the artist's home region to feature his work.
Bryan LeBoeuf will be present at the museum to discuss this exhibition on Friday, August 1st, as part of the museum's "Art at Lunch" series. For more information, please call the museum at (706) 724-7501.
