SUMMARY:JORDAN LUCKOW
DESCRIPTION:LOCATED IN THE SMALL [BUT MIGHTY] WALL GALLERY (3rd floor) \nArtist Bio\nJordan Luckow of Sioux City\, IA is a recent graduate from Iowa State University. While at Iowa State he received his bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts focusing on printmaking\, and painting.  Jordan currently is a full-time designer at Lincoln Center Hy-Vee Floral in Ames\, where he continues to create and find inspiration arranging flowers. In his downtown he continues to make art\, publishing a book\, and is participating in Art Festivals and shows. \n  \nArtist Statement\nWords of rap artist\, Lil Wayne “I didn’t set out to be different. I set out to be me and people thought it was different.” Art celebrates one person’s differences and makes them accessible to the world. Acrylic and ink provide the medium for Jordan Luckow to express his uniqueness to the world. \nEach of Jordan’s pieces reflects the different steps he takes in the journey of life. His non-traditional content contains metaphors that represent what he was going through\, feeling\, or experiencing at the time. For example Jordan uses a cacti in most of his pieces as a metaphor for himself\, defensive\, prick-ish\, yet beautiful\, strong\, and continuously growing. Jordan plays the role of “You can hurt me\, but you cant kill me” just like a cactus. \nThe art comes alive when someone views it and they begin to see the world in a nontraditional way. Although Jordan doesn’t set out for his art to be different\, he does set out to be himself.

SUMMARY:Naturescapes  PRATIK RAY\, MIKE LEINHAUSER\, & GARY HOARD
DESCRIPTION:LOCATED IN THE COMMUNITY GALLERY \nArtist Statement: Pratik Ray\nI am fascinated by the beauty and majesty of nature and light – not just the landscapes and seascapes\, but also the light that paints them in vivid colors. It is the many moods of light that gives rise to a range of emotional response to the scene. It is my endeavor to take in these moments\, and capture these precious snapshots in time in a way that re-kindles the same feelings when I look back at these images. In short\, to quote Robert Kincaid from the Bridges of Madison County\, “I don’t take pictures\, I make pictures”. Each of these pictures are made in order to preserve the many moods of nature that I have felt during my sojourns in the American West and the Mid-West. \nThrough my work\, I hope to share my excitement and that rare feeling of bliss one experiences when journeying through the lap of nature\, motivate people to appreciate nature and spark efforts to preserve and nurture them. Man has a strong connection with nature\, but this connection may be latent for many. I endeavor to ignite a spark that helps people reconnect with the majesty of Mother Nature\, in all her moods and glory. \nArtist Biography:  Pratik Ray\nPratik Ray is an artist and a scientist. He started out as an artist working primarily with charcoal and pastels. During his graduate school at Iowa State University\, he started delving into the photographic medium. This medium melded beautifully with his other passion\, namely electron microscopy. One involves capturing images of our daily visual world using the subtleties of light\, while the other relies on electrons at microscopic levels. His art complements his other life as a scientist – with both the worlds studying and describing nature in their own unique ways. \nPratik’s interest in photography is two-fold. His fascination with Mother Earth results in a passion for landscape photography\, displaying Nature in all her glory. Based in the American mid-west\, his landscape shots reflect some of the mid-west surroundings in general\, and his town (Ames\, IA) in particular as well as the mountains of United States. \nPratik’s travels often lead him to rugged mountains and fascinating ocean fronts. A second interest relates to exploring the vagaries of the world from different point of views. In this endeavor\, the same event is studied from different points of view – an attempt to reveal the underlying currents and counter-currents behind an innocuous image. \n  \n\n \nArtist’s Statement: Mike Leinhauser\nIn 1966 my dad took a couple photos of my new bride\, developed and printed the negs\, I was really impressed by all this. Out of the service in 1970\, I got all his equipment and set about teaching myself how to use it. Read lots of articles and looked at lots of photographs and tried to make sense of it all. Took some photos and classes along the way and finally got tired of going classes where the instructors were just showing off their fancy equipment and decided to teach classes myself. \nTaught some classes through Scott Community College and one through Lincoln Center for the Arts in Bettendorf. Really enjoyed the experience. Had some shows with the Photo Image League\, a very enjoyable time. Had some other shows too.  Entered a few contests. \nFoggy mornings and inclement weather are when I like to photograph mostly. Suited my needs\, did wonders for the backgrounds and I enjoyed the quiet. I just photograph whatever appeals to me\, as one can see in my images. \nWhat have I learned from all this? Maybe to have applied myself a bit more. \nArtist Biography: Mike Leinhauser\nBorn 1945 in Ottumwa\, IA. Moved a bit growing up\, Branson\, MO\, Dallas\, TX\, Cleveland\, OH\, Akron\, OH and in 1960 moved to Des Moines\, IA where I attended jr. high and high school. Took some classes at Drake University and University of Iowa. Married in 1966 and off to the Air Force from 1966 to 1970\, had a daughter and a son during that time and back to Des Moines after I was discharged until 1979 when we moved to Bettendorf\, IA where I now currently live. Lost my wife Sally to cancer in Dec. 2015. Since 2002 I have worked as an electrician at John Deere Seeding in Moline IL. \n  \n\n \nArtist’s Statement: Gary Hoard\nPhotography is my way to capture the ordinary and unusual moments in the nature around us.   Looking through the lens and composing an interesting shot forces me to be more aware of what is going on around me\, enhancing the outdoor experience.  I enjoy this natural experience whether or not I get the photo – the image is a bonus which allows me to share a special moment with others.  \nThis ‘Naturescapes’ exhibit includes a collection of my photographic images on metal of plants\, birds and animals in their natural environments\, hopefully uncommon views of common subjects.  I also include some landscapes that evoke the feeling of peace and solitude that being ‘close to nature’ brings us.   The images are printed on metal which reflects the vibrancy I see in the natural world. \nArtist Biography: Gary Hoard\nGary has been photographing for over 50 years\, predominantly nature and city and rural landscapes.  His interest in both photography and nature was kindled early by his parents:  his Dad a US Navy photographer stationed at Pearl Harbor during the attack\, and his Mom an avid naturalist and gardener.  Gary’s 40-year career in plant genetics research furthered his interest in the natural world.  He has enhanced his photographic skills by studying the biology of animals and plants\, and by attending photography workshops and seminars.  \nHis award-winning work has appeared in several exhibits including Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge\, Ankeny Art Center\, Iowa State Fair Photography Salon and Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge\, Sanibel FL.  His photographs were used in the State Capitol Tour Guide. \nGary enjoys capturing uncommon views of common subjects.  He spends most of his camera-time photographing at state\, county and national parks\, urban areas\, or in his home gardens.  He finds Iowa offers many beautiful photographic opportunities including lots of green space\, interesting cityscapes and beautiful architecture\, both historic and modern. \nWebsite:  GaryHoardPhotography.com

SUMMARY:Iowa State MFA Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:LOCATED IN THE COMMUNITY GALLERY \nArtist Statement: Jasmine Beul\nI see my ceramic works as sculptural vessels. They are inspired by historical vessel forms\, but without the functionality. The utilitarian function is removed by making the forms asymmetrical\, and exaggerating the scale and perforations. When utilitarian nature is removed what remains is an exploration of formal elements. \nWith my paintings\, I was interested in creating a fragmented view of a landscape to be somewhere between realism and abstraction. In these close up views\, there is never a sense of the surrounding scenery\, but instead\, the confrontation of a vertical surface. This close inspection tells the partial story of a place\, but obscures the whole truth. It hints at a layered history\, but in this extreme close up only a specific part of a story is being told. It becomes a metaphor for the way we retell stories\, remembering only certain details\, and maybe failing to see the complete truth behind a narrative.  \n  \nArtist Biography: Jasmine Beul\nJasmine Beul is grew up in Denver\, Colorado\, and is currently a first year graduate student in the Integrated Visual Art program at Iowa State University. She graduated from the University of Montana in Missoula in 2017 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and creative writing. Her emphasis with her BFA was in ceramics\, an interest which started in high school and she decided to pursue further in college. She also spent a year as a post-baccalaureate student at Montana State University in Bozeman\, MT from 2017-2018. Her work has been influenced by living in these places\, as well as travelling. This is her first solo exhibition of work in the state of Iowa. \n  \nArtist Statement: Manatsa Mazimbe\nArt curator and Afrofuturist\, Ingrid LaFleur\, quotes\, “Afrofuturism is an intersection of imagination\, technology\, the future\, and liberation.  I generally define Afrofuturism as a way of imagining possible futures through a black cultural lens.” My work will be a series of digital\, traditional\, and animated works based on an afro-futuristic setting where Africans and African Americans live in a thriving utopian society. It is an optimistic view of the combination of both cultures in the future through the lens of a character named\, Mana. \nArtist Biography:   Manatsa Mazimbe\nI am currently a third-semester M.F.A graduate student majoring in the Integrated Visual Arts with a focus on Illustration for Animation. I attained my B.F.A in Animation from an enriching education at the Savannah College of Art and Design. The combination of both areas of study has allowed me to expand my work and offer a complete design and storytelling experience. \nMy time as a student-athlete for four years helped me become disciplined in my work and to appreciate challenges\, allowing for continuous focus and diligence. I also had the privilege to work on an Annie nominated film called\, Frog Legs\, which was directed by an old colleague and friend\, Katie Tamboer. Coming from an African background with no knowledge and experience with technology prior to college\, this was a satisfying accomplishment.

SUMMARY:A Soldier Says Good-bye RICH ABRAHAMSON
DESCRIPTION:LOCATED IN THE SMALL WALL GALLERY (Third Floor) \nArtist Statement \nCamera’s freeze moments in split seconds while life passes in days\, weeks and years. \nSome lives are mixed with both quality and quantity of time. Those individuals celebrate memories while unaware that the final chapters of their lives are being written. \nPhotographs help us punctuate their journeys\, empowering us to tell important stories. Photojournalists are called upon to document these events. This is our legacy. \nIn “A Soldier Says Good-bye” we follow a World War II veteran through the twilight of life. A time when moments resonate with love\, vulnerability and tears. \nThe soldier\, a 96 year-old Swede from Boxholm\, Iowa\, farmed with horses and picked corn by hand before joining the first group of Boone County Iowa men drafted into service in 1942. He joined the Army Air Corps and was assigned to crew on a B-24 heavy bomber. \nInstead of harnessing a team of horses and working the fields\, he was completing pre flight inspections on his plane. He’d push the aircraft’s throttles full forward\, bringing four thundering 1200 horse power Pratt and Whitney engines to life. \nThe serene view over an Iowa corn field was replaced with the sensation of flying over the white caps of the Adriatic Sea\, skimming above the water to avoid radar detection. \nSome soldiers never came home. Others returned to Central Iowa and into the arms of their families. Many returned to the farm and their jobs. They got married. Started families. \nA few lived to be old men One of them was my dad\, Staff Sergeant Richard L. Abrahamson. \nThis is his story. A tribute told through the eyes of his son\, the photojournalist. \n  \nBiography \nRich Abrahamson of Ames\, Iowa is a career photojournalist and writer. His appreciation for photography and stories began as a kid while watching slide shows his dad created with photos shot around the family farm and during summer vacations. \nIn high school and college\, he was part of the newspaper and yearbook staffs. The experience laid the groundwork for his career choice and showed him that work could be fun. \nAt 21\, he bought his first 35 mm film camera while taking a photography course taught by Bob Person at the Des Moines Area Community College. Person’s style of instruction impacted students\, including Abrahamson\, with thoughtful advice and passionate critiques of student work. \nIn 1987 Abrahamson earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Journalism from Northwest Missouri State University. A few months later he was hired as the lone photographer on the staff of the Fort Morgan Times\, a small family-owned newspaper on Colorado’s northeast plains. \nIn 1991 he joined the staff of the Fort Collins Coloradan where he worked for the next 22 years. \nAbrahamson has completed news\, sports and documentary assignments throughout Colorado and the United States. He’s built a portfolio of images from 46 states and nine Canadian provinces. \nFor 26 years he covered professional and college sports including the Denver Broncos\, Colorado Avalanche\, Colorado Rockies and Colorado State University Rams. \nHis subjects have included Pope John Paul II\, the Dalai Lama\, Presidents Bill Clinton\, George W. Bush and Barack Obama\, hall of fame quarterback John Elway\, musicians Ray Charles\, David Bowie\, Carlos Santana\, Buddy Rich and the Grateful Dead. \nIn 2013 Abrahamson returned to central Iowa and began freelancing as a photographer\, writer and columnist for central Iowa newspapers. He also serves as a writer and photographer for Iowa State University’s Department of Residence newsletter.
