Moving from the research lab to the art studio—a new exhibition by Steve Mizel opens January 28th at Artworks Gallery in Winston Salem. The exhibition features paintings and will be on display until February 24th.
A reception will be held on February 4th from 3-5 pm and is open to the public. Mizel will give a brief gallery talk at 3:30 pm on the 24th.
“The Great Divide”
In the exhibition titled Color, Movement and Storytelling, Mizel’s paintings range from the fully abstract to intense images of earth and sky. When Mizel paints a sky, he doesn’t paint what a sky looks like, but rather the emotion that it evokes. He hopes that viewers seeing his work will engage in an active conversation with each painting. In so doing, each work becomes much more than simply paint on a surface. In a sense, the painting changes with every viewer and every conversation.
“A New Beginning”
Mizel is an artist based in Lewisville, NC. He is Professor emeritus of Wake Forest University School of Medicine where he served as Chair of Microbiology & Immunology for the first 20 years of his appointment. In his career in biomedical research, Mizel was an internationally recognized immunologist who made major research contributions that not only advanced our understanding of the human immune system, but also catalyzed new therapies in medicine. In 2015, he retired and committed his full energy to making art. His work has been exhibited nationally in juried group exhibitions as well as in Winston Salem at Associated Artists of Winston Salem and Artworks Gallery where he is a juried member.
This exhibit is free and open to the public.
