MCFARLANE AT MCCC: Works by Philadelphia-based artist Tim McFarlane are featured in “Black Drawings and Other Things You Didn’t Know About,” on view through December 18 at the Gallery at Mercer County College in West Windsor.

Mercer County Community College’s Gallery presents “Tim McFarlane – Black Drawings and Other Things You Didn’t Know About” through December 18. An opening reception is on October 16 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.

The exhibition, featuring 17 pieces by Philadelphia-based artist Tim McFarlane, allows the viewer to imagine ongoing changes to human-made environments as emphasized through fluid, multi-layered systems, color, and process. Using mostly mixed media or acrylic on canvas, McFarlane captures his observations of human-driven changes in everyday life such as the remaking of public and personal spaces, the remnants of old buildings at construction sites, public spaces changed through continual use, and more.

“Tim McFarlane offers an astounding narrative in the deep seeded collective emotions in the art field,” said Karolina Zbaski, art gallery assistant.

An opening reception is on October 16 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. Light fare and refreshments will be provided throughout the night, along with Mercer’s own faculty jazz band ensemble led by Scott Hornick, providing musical entertainment.

The Gallery at Mercer County Community College is located at 1200 Old Trenton Road, West Windsor, Room 250 on the second floor of the Communications Building.

Gallery hours are Monday and Wednesday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; and Tuesday and Thursday from 12 to 7 p.m. For more information, visit mccc.edu/gallery.
