Stanley Webb Artist Talk and Reception

October 10, 2024 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

The CSN Art Galleries continues its Fall 2024 events with a special Artist Discussion and Reception in conjunction with our Charleston Campus, Student Union Arts Gallery exhibition Stanley Webb: A Syncretic Reality. 

Stanley Webb was born in Detroit Michigan, earned his MFA from Queens College, New York, and is currently an adjunct professor in CSN’s Art and Art History Program. Professor Webb will be joined in discussion by special guest, Frank Rudy Cooper, Director of the Program on Race, Gender & Policing at the William S Boyd School of Law at UNLV. 

Stanley Webb “A Syncretic Reality“, Artist Reception will take place from 6pm – 9pm Thursday, October 10 in the Charleston Campus Student Union Art Gallery and U130. The Artist Discussion featuring Professor Webb and Professor Cooper will take place at 6:30 PM in the Charleston Campus Student Union room U103.

Speaking of his work, Webb states, “My Abstract work is an attempt to have two or more distinct mediums combine into one image. Initially, the viewer will see a painting but on further inspection the viewer will see a sculpted relief substructure that is sometimes distinct from the paint and has a relation to the whole. A process called syncretism drives my work. Syncretism is a process between different elements, the in-between condition of ‘being both’ without losing their individual distinction. This approach allows me to draw upon multiple sources and traditions; ancient, modern, jazz music and my experience as a person of color with multiethnic roots.”

This project is supported in part by the Nevada Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts.
