I really enjoyed visiting the new art exhibition at the Samek! The artwork displayed was donated by a Bucknell alumnus and centers around deep observation and careful looking – something that is very rare in today’s social media culture. I enjoyed the gallery wall-style curation in which multiple works of art took up a smaller space. It created a very interesting phenomenon where you never saw the same thing twice while looking. One of the pieces that didn’t initially catch my attention but after a glance or two really stuck out is the third picture I posted. The work itself is quite small but the deep maroon velvet mat helps bring attention to the piece without overpowering it.
