Chao Ding: LEFTOVER Art Exhibit Opening Reception and Artist Lecture
August 29, 2024 @ 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Free
Broward College’s Visual and Performing Arts department is hosting an opening reception for an art exhibit called “LEFTOVER” on Thursday, August 29 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Rosemary Duffy Larson Gallery, located on the A. Hugh Adams Central Campus (3501 Davie Rd. in Davie). Artist Chao Ding will give a lecture at 5 p.m.
The gallery is located in Fine Arts Building 6 on the southwest corner of the campus. The event is free to attend and no prior registration is necessary.
In “LEFTOVER,” Chao Ding reveals the unusual beauty and poetic significance of deserted spaces through his expressive painting. In mundane scenes of quiet places and exploration of negative space, Ding finds narrative possibilities in a silent dialogue of human absence. Through this imagery that expresses feelings of isolation and displacement, he seeks to create quiet moments of reflection in our fast-paced world, so that new connections may be made.
Chao Ding is a Beijing-native perceptual painter now living and working in Sacramento, California. He received his MFA from Louisiana State University after completing his BA at Beijing University of Technology and postgraduate coursework at SUNY Buffalo State College. Ding’s work has been shown in both solo and group exhibitions nationally, including a commission for documentary art from the Burden Rural Life Museum. His residencies include New York’s Golden Foundation and the Vermont Studio Center, and his work is represented by Elliott Fouts Gallery.
The free exhibit will be on display at the Rosemary Duffy Larson Gallery from August 19 to September 21. The gallery is open on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. It is closed on Sundays and on Monday, September 2 in observance of Labor Day.
