Surrogates: Maria Tapia MFA Exhibition

Reception: Tuesday, December 4, 5:00 – 8:00 p.m.
Visual Arts Gallery

Tapia’s paintings range from the fantastic to the mundane, and stem from existential thoughts about life, creation, and the possibility of mutated life forms. Speaking to contradictions, the images portray incomplete narratives of unfinished avatars and surrogate bodies.
