Youngstown State University’s Department of Art presents an online lecture by printmaker Murray Robertson as part of the Department of Art Lecture Series, on Wednesday, November 18 at 1:45pm on the WebEx platform.
The lecture is free and open to the public. The WebEx address is https://ysu.webex.com/ysu/onstage/g.php?MTID=e9dbd50c12aac5fe0b6c136a5253b595f and the password is Xww8ChBWm54. The event address and password are also on http://art.ysu.edu/.
Robertson studied at Glasgow School of Art, and continues to live and work in Glasgow, Scotland. A Master Printer at Glasgow Print Studio, he maintains his interest in traditional fine art printmaking, but it is the research, development and application of new technologies, specifically digital imaging and printing that has most influenced his current professional practice.
Engagement with varied interdisciplinary projects has provided continued inspiration and evolution to ideas and practice. Diagrammatic representations and their related iconography have motivated recent works that explore relevant myth, history, geology and environment. He uses sources including textbooks on natural history, early and contemporary printed maps, scientific/technological imagery and cultural icons.
His work has been exhibited at the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts and the Keeper’s House at the Royal Academy of Arts, London.
More information is available by calling the Office of Community Engagement and Events at 330-727-7514.
