The Schick Gallery presents the annual Selected Art Faculty Exhibition, this year featuring prints by Ruben Castillo, sculpture by John Galt, and paintings by Paul Sattler. Participants in each year’s faculty exhibition are chosen by simple rotation; each faculty member has an opportunity to show their work every three or four years.
Ruben Bryan Castillo is Assistant Professor of Printmaking and the Co-managing Editor of the Mid America Print Council Journal.
His work investigates themes of intimacy, queerness, archival history, and the body
using a range of media, including print, drawing, sculpture/installation, and video.
His most recent imagery draws from photographs and documents, seeing the ordinary
as a site for transformative potential and feeling.
Castillo’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, and is included
in collections such as the Mulvane Art Museum (Topeka, KS), National Museum of Mexican
Art (Chicago, IL), and the University of Colorado Special Collections (Boulder, CO).
Ruben was born in Dallas, TX and received his MFA in Visual Art from the University
of Kansas and a BFA in Printmaking from the Kansas City Art Institute. Before coming
to ÈýÒÚÌåÓý¹ÙÍø, he taught printmaking and drawing at the Kansas City Art Institute (MO)
and Johnson County Community College (KS).
