AUR’s Student Capstone Exhibitions - Spring 2025 13 May - AUR Art Studios - Via Angelo Masina, 7 - Rome The outstanding culmination of our creative Fine Art students in exhibition! REBECCA SMITH: “In the Stable of My Mind” Our lives are a mysterious web of memories from experiences, contained within our minds. When we first have the experience, they are vivid, bright, mixed with colors, forms, and smells. As time passes, they begin to become fragmented, disjointed, faded, sometimes surreal and mixed with emotions, and at times completely forgotten, vanished no matter how much we try to remember the instance within our lives. ISABELLA KLEPIKOFF: “dis-communication” Growing up, I was slow to pick up on language. I remember being small, listening to talk shows on the radio, and hearing the way consonants would bump and crack in my ears meaninglessly. Understandably, this got me in trouble at times, leaving me misunderstood or misunderstanding. HANNAH CUNNIGHAM: “Reverie” The artwork creates a world where creativity runs free, representing the mind and its power. My purpose was to create a narrative through multiple oil paintings, highlighting myself as an artist. I wanted to combine photography and painting, using digital art to add surrealist elements and push my creative boundaries to develop my painting abilities. MAKENZIE WEBSTER: “Tethered Selves” I draw women with tiger bodies. I give them koi fo thoughts. I wrap their silnce in waves and pur their inner worlds into hair, feathers, and ink. My art is a way of externalizing the internal - of mapping the emotional terrain I move through. This capstone is made of pieces that straddle the line between control and surrender. Each work explores identity through symbols of transformation: tigers, fish, water, flowing hair. #art #capstone #creativity #exhibition #Rome #AUR #student #fineart (fb)
