Le Nouveau Cirque Art Exhibit

The Visual Arts Gallery at Governors State University is pleased to present new printmaking work from “Le Nouveau Cirque,” the thesis exhibition of graduate student Diana Lynch.

The exhibit will be on display from May 1 to 7. A public reception on May 5 from 5 to 8 p.m. celebrates the artist and her achievement. These events are free and open to the public.

In “Le Nouveau Cirque,” a series of handmade prints primarily done through woodcut, lithograph, and screen print, Lynch explores the female performers of traditional and contemporary circus. In a character driven approach, she shows the strong nature of sisterhood, performance outlet, and beauty.

Lynch, of Orland Park, has exhibited her art both locally and internationally. She holds a Bachelor of Art Degree from Northern Illinois University and Master of Art Degree from Governors State University. She is an oil painting instructor at the Orland Park Cultural Center and is the Art School Coordinator at Tall Grass Art Associations.

The Visual Arts Gallery is located in the E wing at GSU and is open are Monday and Wednesday, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Tuesday and Thursday, from noon to 9 p.m.
