Throughout the month of October, the Joan Derryberry Art Gallery will feature Bulgarian visual artist Boryana Rusenova-Ina’s work.

She will speak during a reception at 4:30 p.m. on Oct. 25.

Rusenova-Ina creates her paintings by first constructing a diorama of the scene she wishes to paint and then works off that model to create a scene both familiar and surreal. She frequently focuses on landscapes and urban scenes, aiming to ask her audiences questions about identity and home.

She is currently a lecturer in painting and drawing at Ohio State University. Her art has been displayed throughout the United States and Europe.

The event is made possible by Center Stage, a series of events, guest artists, lectures and performances in an effort to promote a better understanding of the fine arts and diverse cultural perspectives. It is made possible through Tennessee Tech’s general education fund.

The event is free and open to the public.

The Birke Art Gallery is hosting a two-person exhibition that features works by Ohio artists Boryana Rusenova Ina and Whitney Lea Sage. Both artists’ work address personal and impersonal relationships to places. Sage creates works about her hometown of Detroit and Rusenova’s works use Western landscapes as surrogates for places she is more familiar with, like her birthplace of Bulgaria.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

The Ohio Annual exhibition celebrates the Zanesville Museum of Art’s commitment to discovering, encouraging, and recognizing Ohio’s finest artists and artisans.  In its 73rd year, this competitive, juried exhibition welcomed submissions from all Ohio artists, in all stages of their careers. In 2017, over one hundred and eighty artists vied for the opportunity to exhibit their work at the museum and earn the title Best in Show.

Each year we look forward to presenting a stylistically and thematically diverse exhibition that captures the essence of Ohio’s vibrant visual arts scene. The people, places, and customs found in each unique region of the Buckeye State inspire its artists, and the ZMA is in the fortunate position of recognizing and fostering this creativity.

 This year our guest juror was Erin Shapiro, Springfield Museum of Art Curator (Springfield, Ohio), who selected this year’s participants and award recipients. 

Fascinated by the genre of Western landscape painting,  Bulgarian-born artist Boryana Rusenova-Ina explores the way is it’s been used to frame our collective and personal relationship to place.  Her own landscapes, painted from dioramas painstakingly constructed in her studio using found and personal images, evoke a range of response and emotion that often conflict.  “Both coherent and disjointed; the parts belong together and yet imply multiple viewpoints and histories.”  

Boryana earned MFA from The Ohio State University in 2016. She has an MA in Art, Design, and Architecture from the Glasgow School of Art, and a BFA from Columbus College of Art and Design.  She is currently on the faculty of both Ohio State University and Columbus State Community College.
