Exhibition Features Work By Artist Bob Hargrove

Temple College Visual Art Department will host an exhibition opening and gallery talk called “SIT NOMINE DIGNA – Jewelry, Photography, and Paintings,” by Bob Hargrove, at 7 p.m. on Saturday, January 28 at the Temple College Visual Arts Complex Gallery, located at the corner of 5th Street and Ave. U.

SIT NOMINE DIGNA

Hargrove’s work has been featured at a number of local galleries including a one-man show in 2008 at Bentons in Salado, where he has been employed since 1999. In 2011, he was featured at the Bodega Bean in Belton. He has a bachelor of fine arts from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor and also was the 2008 recipient of the Purchase Award at the annual Temple College Student Art Competition.

“I find inspiration in small snippets of everyday occurrences,” said Hargrove when asked about his work. “Lines of poetry, song lyrics, dreams, or even just noticing two colors playing off one another often cause an image to flash in my mind. I try to recreate that mental image so that it will impact others in the same way it does me.”

The exhibit will be on display until Wednesday, April 4.
