Skidmore Showcases Student Talent with Senior Art Exhibition

SARATOGA SPRINGS — On May 7, Skidmore College opened an exhibit highlighting all projects that the numerous Studio Art majors completed for their senior theses. The exhibit was open to the public until May 16, allowing the community to come together to admire the work of young artists. 

The artworks themselves were a mix of different mediums, including oil paintings, photography, animation, sculpture, graphite, and fabrics. These mediums allowed the students to best convey their emotions in a way that clicked with them and resonated with the public.

Each work expressed a layer of vulnerability, individual talent, and emotion that added to the overall magic of the work without needing words or an explanation. The artists let the viewers decide how the piece speaks to them based on their own interpretation of the project. 

One artist stood out from the rest, Oliver Frontini. He constructed a massive sculpture that was allotted a separate space, allowing viewers to marvel in its beauty. The sculpture included three life-sized sculptured men, each having uncannily accurate features. The work was raw and original, gathering a decent crowd to observe the show of talent. 

The entire exhibition was a wonderful showcase of both Skidmore and local talent, with the community uniting to support Saratoga’s very own Studio Art seniors. The variety in works and skill sets allowed for the audience to get a wide range of sensations and feelings as they walked through the exhibit.
