“Familiar Strangers” Artists open up about their work and inspirations (pt. 2)
“For me planning and seeing the piece come together at the end is exciting, but I love when I am in the process of implementing my idea and think of something new to add or a skill/technique and getting to learn and try new hands-on techniques. This would be realizing painting a door wasn't enough and that I wanted to etch into the wood and permanently alter what I was making,” says Schaub.

“Loyola University Maryland’s senior art students have their work displayed in our Julio Fine Arts Gallery for our current exhibition, Familiar Strangers. Their work ranges from all different types of art such as paintings, photographs, and sculptures. One of the most interesting aspects of art is that there can be many different interpretations of what a piece represents. A number of these Loyola seniors were generous enough to speak about what their artwork means to them.”
Familiar Strangers Opens on 11/18!
The exhibition will run from November 18 to December 17, 2021. The grand opening for the exhibition will be held on November 18 from 5-7pm. During this event, the featured Loyola University Maryland seniors will talk about their work.

An interview with Jon Malis
“I think it’s really hard to pick favorites – in some ways, I think all work has to have the potential to be my favorite for me to let it leave my studio and go out into the world – if I’m, as the artist, not that confident in my work, how can I expect my viewers to enjoy and/or understand it?”

“First, who is Klein and why does he have a color named after him?”
Thoughts on Topographic Impressions
“Malis has decided to use his work to instead highlight the walls instead of hanging something over top of them. The prints fade in and out of various shades of gray. The filled in holes and bumps in the wall are raised while the cracks and dimples cause the print to sink into the wall. When looked at as a whole, Topographic Impressions allows the wall becomes its own piece of site-specific art—the ‘invisible structure’ made visible.”
