Kent Place Gallery
Kent Place Gallery is a space for fine arts that serves the Kent Place community and surrounding area with a varied program of exhibitions. The gallery usually presents solo shows by several professional artists each year, taking advantage of our proximity to New York City to offer contemporary art experiences of very high quality. Exhibiting artists often come to the Kent Place campus and are available to students in lectures, classroom visits, gallery talks and informal conversations. The Gallery is also the primary venue for displaying Kent Place student art.

Adrianna "AG" Guarino: My sustained investigation serves to destigmatize mental illnesses by personifying each illness, thus separating them from the person who suffers from the illness and eliminating the notion that a mental illness is a character flaw. I want to reinforce the idea that the illness is the monster, NOT the person who has the illness. -

Alia Jaffrey: I paint using the impulse of the moment and the emotional connection that I have with color. No painting is planned. No one should try to “find” anything in them. the main objective of my art is to embrace the painting process and to “play” colors off one another. It’s the definition of organized randomness. -

Elizabeth "Biz" Stahl: My sustained investigation is about joining people and places that have only crossed paths in my mind and committing these interactions to canvas. I wanted to push myself to rethink the framing of the pictures I was taking and the color relations between my different images and the background colors. -

Jessica Kim: I choose to paint what I visualize when I listen to music. The main question I try to answer through my work is “what do I see and feel, and what about the song do I want to highlight on the canvas?” So far, my answers have ranged from the sound, the meaning of the lyrics, and the overall emotion and tone of the song. -

Isabel Kim: I’ve always been fascinated with the universe and its vast wonders, and I hope to be a part of the first generation to step foot on Mars. For my art pieces, I’ve taken inspiration from key historical moments and media – each time adding my own twist. Through my work, I’m coming to understand our place in the universe. Our journey has just begun. -

Kelsey Burrows: My sustained investigation for the year is around reworking images of known art. I use well-known references and interpret them in my own style. In some pieces, I aim to change the meaning or feeling of the original image. In others, I changed the image to fit my own aesthetics. -

Mira Pantozzi: For my concentration, I am exploring biracial identity and my experience with being biracial through my self-portraits using contrast of color. I focused on hue contrast primarily and then intensity and value contrast as a secondary focus. The contrast of colors in the background is meant as an aid to show the subject, like contrasts in aspects of identity, physical appearance, and the goal is to make the subject stand out. -

Tyler Newman: These days, scrolling through your news feed feels like scrolling through a battlefield. With so many landmines of emotionally-charged and fear-provoking content, it can be tempting to tune out. However, now, more than ever, is the time to tune in, and connect with the world and people around us. -
