Volunteer State Community College: Vol State Gallery Features Works By Matt Eddmenson

Press release from Volunteer State Community College:

August 19, 2021

A graduate of The Art Academy of Cincinnati, Eddmenson draws from a range of influences and sources for his practice, including Cowboy Comics, Pop Art, and the work of Cy Twombly. His works are gatherings and reconfigurations of American imagery and iconography, commonly featuring cowboys, skulls, and rodeo horses. He also incorporates images from the golden age of comics and tattoo culture. “I work from my memories as a child, I learned to draw by tracing comic book covers over and over until I was able to draw these characters from memory — I have a deep admiration for comic book art,” Eddmenson said. Reviewers say works like  September 24. The gallery is located on the first floor of the Steinhauer-Rogan-Black (SRB) Humanities Building on the Gallatin campus at 1480 Nashville Pike. .
