Elaine Lynn exhibits paintings in alumni series
By Brent Betty
THECOLLEGIAN
The latest artist to exhibit her
work in the FSU alumni artist ae¬
ries is Elaine Lynn.
The Spring series brings former
FSU graduates to the fore and gives
the community a great view into
tr* accomplishments ofFSU gradu¬
ates.
The exhibit shows people that
there's life after graduation," said
Carol Hartman, Gallery Director.
The exhibits -are displayed in a
newly remodeled President's Gal¬
lery that has a "New clean scope,"
according to Hartman.
Lynn's paintings consist of
acrylic on canvas and watercolors
that reflect the environment and
landscapes. Color blends and a com¬
plimentary luminous look are fre¬
quent cornpoqents to Lynn' s works.
An emftrgnmentalist at heart,
Lynn lives in the foothills, east of
Fresno. Many of her ideas and
themes are created out of her native
' Lynn's education has taken her
through three years of study at the
National Academy of Art in New
York, and her Masters in Art from
CSUF in 1984.
The contrast of surroundings
between the Eastcoast and the West,
has honed Lynn's focus on spatial
awareness. The cramped and close
quarters of her surroundings in her
Connecticut home has brought her
to convey feelings of the openness
and spaciousness of the surround¬
ing Fresno foothills.
Lynn enjoys the reactions sheg
gets from'her work, and the ideas
Club known for live music
ByErikLoyd
THECOLLEGIAN
The Wild Blue is the heart¬
beat of the Tower District It's
flfie nightspot for reggae and funk.
The Blue, as it's known to
Fresno club aficionados, is next
to Castillo's Mexican restaurant
at 1145 N. Fulton1. The club is
home to rastafarian beats and
funky grooves provided by local
groups such as Inka Inka,
Thumpasaurus and Skillet
Straight-forward rock is an
occasional feature. Well-known
outside acts play The Blue at
times. The bottom line is fre¬
quent live music, always en at¬
traction in Fresno.
. The Blue is one of the least-
lighted clubs around. The eyes
' have to adjust quickly to the dark
confines. Combined with thick
clouds of smoke, a fog machine
on the ceiling and several drinks,
.the dark interior can pose prob¬
lems for those with beta carotene
deficiencies.
But there is a unique quaint-
ness to the Blue. Mirrors, disco¬
theque-style reflecting orbs and
lights make for a Saturday Night
Fever feel.
Monday through-Thursday
nights are good evenings to drink
and not spend a lot of dough.
Well drinks are $2, domestic draft
beers are $1 and there is a $2
cover charge. The service is usu¬
ally good, but it's tough to get a
drink at the crowded bar some
nights.
. Check it out for a different
taste of Fresno culture.
that are created from people view¬
ing her paintings. "I'm not con¬
cerned that the viewer understand
the painting," Lynn said.
Lynn is not particularly fond of
picture titles, though she does title
her works. She feels that the title
may constrict the way the viewer
wants to look at the work. For
Lynn, the title simply helps gives
some focus of the feeling of the
work. "When you're painting, you
are creating something that reflects
the way you feel about your subject
matter," said Lynn.
As a kindergarten teacher for 10
years, Lynn was able to draw on
ideas and thoughts of her students.
"Children see things in a way that
adults no longer see them," Lynn
said. Openness, creativity, and see¬
ing a world through innocent eyes
are things that Lynn has been able
to incorporate in her art through her
dealings with children.
Lynn was asked to start up a
G.A.T.E. art program in Sanger
that was again a learning experi¬
ence for her. Through her eight
years in the program, Lynn sot
ideas and creative influence from
her students. "You learn from your
students while you are teaching
them,"* Lynn explained.
Staying true to artist form, Lynn
is looking forward to getting away
from schedules and deadlines,
which she is currently experienc¬
ing with her exhibit Her future
emphasis will include representa¬
tion of open spaces in TJalifornia
and emphasizing the growing con-"
cern for the disappearance of these
lands. j~y
* Elaine Lynn's work can be seen
on display at the Fig Tree Gallery
in Fresno, and her current exhibit at
the President's Gallery will be on
display through March 31.
