SUMMARY:Reynier Llanes: Pursuit of Grace Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The Stedman Gallery at Rutgers University–Camden offers a series of free public programs in conjunction with their current exhibition\, Reynier Llanes: Pursuit of Grace.  \nYear of the Arts at Rutgers University–Camden presents “Pursuit of Grace” an exhibit by renowned artist\, Reynier Llanes. Llanes’ paintings of imagined landscapes engage visual metaphors that explore personal\, cultural\, environmental\, and social inquiries. Through these subjects\, he asks philosophical questions about time and human experience. His work reminds us that discomfort is a necessary companion on the path to a hopeful and graceful future. \nThis exhibition features previous works from 2017 through 2024 as well as new works created for this exhibition at Rutgers University–Camden \nAbout the Artist\nBorn in Pinar del Rio\, Cuba in 1985. He attended the city’s school of art (Instructores de Arte) for four years and completed his studies in 2004. In 2012 Oxford America recognized him as one of the “New Superstars of Southern Art.” Llanes relocated with his family to Miami in 2015 in order to take advantage of the city’s international art market and vibrant cultural life and to be closer to his home country. His work is represented by prestigious institutions like Harmon Meek Gallery in Naples\, FL\, featured in public collections like the Denver Art Museum and presented at The Butler Institute of American Art\, the Polk Musuem of Art\, among many others. For the years to come\, Reynier would continue to work with institutions and communities in a series of projects focused on exploring the diverse sides of human nature and his exploration of art mediums and techniques. \n\n\n\nEvents\nCoffee + Culture\nThursday\, September 18\, 2025\n12:45–1:45 pm\, Stedman Gallery \nOpening Reception: Pursuit of Grace\nThursday\, September 25\, 2025\n5:00–8:00 pm\, Stedman Gallery \nArtist Workshop: Reynier Llanes\nSaturday\, September 27\, 2025\n10:30–12:30 pm\, Stedman Gallery \nFamily Days\nSunday\, September 21\, 2025\nSunday\, October 19\, 2025\nSunday\, November 16\, 2025\n12:00–3:00 pm\, Stedman Gallery \nExhibition Highlights Tours\nWednesday\, September 24\, 2025\nWednesday\, October 29\, 2025\nWednesday\, November 19\, 2025\n12:30–1:30 pm\, Stedman Gallery \nArtist Talk: Reynier Llanes\nThursday\, October 23\, 2025\n6:00–7:00 pm\, Stedman Gallery \nArt Workshop: Art Students League\nTuesday\, December 2\, 2025\n12:45–1:45 pm\, Stedman Gallery
