NEW EXHIBITION at PSAM: Refugee Trilogy

[Edith Ellis]

*Plattsburgh State Art Museum is pleased to announce the reopening of Burke
Gallery to the public.*

Starting Monday, August 30th *The Refugee Trilogy* will be viewable from
12-4pm.  Galleries will be closed Mondays, effective September 1.


*The Refugee Trilogy* series by Rick Shaefer, which represents the
Connecticut-based artist’s passionate and cerebral response to the Syrian
refugee crisis, the seismic effects of which continue to resonate around
the globe.  Employing monochromatic drawing as his medium, Shaefer creates
powerful compositions abounding with figures and motifs inspired by Rubens
and Géricault among other artists in the art historical pantheon,
harnessing the lexicon of old master painting as he plumbs the expressive
capacity of art to address the timeless human tragedy of exile, migration
and dislocation.

Opening reception will be Thursday, September 9th @5-7pm. (Free and open to
the public.) The artist will be present.
