A reception will be held September 19 from 5 7 p.m; an artists talk will begin at 6:30 p.m. The ten subjects on exhibit in State of Grace are burn survivors treated at the Burn Center at Saint Barnabas Medical Center. The portraits not only reveal aspects of the subjects personalities, but also make a statement about their healing processes to have agreed to the portraits. In completing each portrait, Auld said, My instincts were shaped by meeting each volunteer, their family and friends, and taking inspiration from their remarkable self discovery. Aulds inspiration for the portrait series began 30 years ago when he encountered a 13-year-old burn survivor whose facials burns were so severe that she lacked discernable features. The encounter had a lasting impact. In 2002, he presented the idea of painting portraits of burn survivors to the Burn Center at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, New Jersey. The Center agreed to participate in the project by enrolling the survivors. The people who have volunteered have developed a strong sense of self in order to survive public alienation due to their appearance. Many lost family members in the fires they survived. (more) - 2 - My motivation to paint them, said Auld, is rooted in the desire to explore the parameters of beauty in our society. These paintings document their visual facts while interpreting the less tangible aspects of inner beauty and personal character.

The Pascal Gallery is located in the Berrie Center for Performing and Visual Arts at 69ɫƵ.
