USU Professor's Work Displayed in NYC Art Gallery

Utah State University professor of drawing and painting Jane Catlin, from the Department of Art and Design in the Caine College of the Arts has been chosen to exhibit at the Going Big exhibition at the Central Booking Gallery in New York City.

Her painting “Buoyant” is on display through Aug. 28.

Going Big refers to the seemingly limitless potential of artists finding kindred spirits online, as well as to the expanding exhibition possibilities this creates in different locations, exhibition literature said. The exhibition brings together artworks from Texas, New Mexico,  Utah, Georgia, Tennessee, Washington, California, Colorado, Michigan, Wisconsin, Alabama, Illinois, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey and New York. The show originated online with the artists meeting and becoming familiar with one another’s work through social media.

Going Big has inspired an outpouring of generosity and cooperation among the artists themselves by helping one another pay for fees, buy supplies and sharing the work of installing the show, exhibit organizers said.

Catlin’s work revolves around human impact on our ecosystem. She has received many awards for her artwork, including a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant and a Visual Arts Fellowship from the Utah Arts Council. Her work has been widely exhibited with solo shows at The New York Art Center, the JK Gallery in Los Angeles, the Togonon Gallery in San Francisco and the Gail Art Museum in Gyeonggi-Do, Republic of Korea.

Catlin received a bachelor of fine art from USU and MFA and MAE from Rhode Island School of Design.

Going Big can be seen at the Central Booking Gallery on 21 Ludlow Street, New York.
