Brinlee, assistant professor of art at the University of Mississippi, will discuss his work at 2 p.m. Thursday, April 12, in the Windgate Center Room 101. The exhibit features photographic self-portraits created with digital imaging, which mimic the traditional portraiture and painting tradition. Stereotypical archetypes of men appropriated from Tumblr are projected onto the artist, which Brinlee photographed. 鈥淪ocietal expectations dictate that men should be stoic and dominant projections of virility, especially in the South,鈥 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock Gallery Director Brad Cushman said. 鈥淚f you fail to meet these expectations of masculinity, you are characterized as weak, unmanly, and effeminate. Brinlee explores the absurdity of these expectations in his current series, 鈥楳asculine Projections.鈥欌 Brinlee received a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Master of Fine Arts from the Memphis College of Art and Design. He also participated in the New York Studio Residency Program, which is a project that stems from the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design. Brinlee will be on campus over spring break to jury the Student Competitive art show. This exhibition will feature work created by students taking art classes at 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock. The exhibition will run March 26 to April 15 on level two in the Brad Cushman Gallery in the Windgate Center of Art + Design.
