Brunelli brothers headline alum gallery
Every five years, Binghamton University opens the halls of its art museum to host original works by BU’s alumni. Spanning over 50 years of graduating classes, the 2014 Alumni Art Show is the first alumni exhibit to be juried. Diane Butler, the director of the museum, along with her colleagues Kevin Hatch and : Mijatovic, carefully selected the best 24 pieces from over 50 submissions. While there is no central theme to the show, Butler and her colleagues wanted to show pieces that incorporated different media as well as conceptual pieces that are focused more on being thoughtful than aesthetically beautiful.
The show opened on Thursday night, with a reception at 5 p.m. The event featured a presentation by Anthony Brunelli, a commercially successful photorealist painter who graduated from BU in 1992. Brunelli first came to fame with a series of paintings depicting scenes from Downtown Binghamton. His “Views of Binghamton” can be seen in offices all over the city.
