JOHN VOLK (MFA 1998)

Last summer, 21 students spent a month in New York City studying at the New York Academy of Art. Figure drawing, painting and other art classes were just part of the experience for the students. Going to a wide variety of art galleries gave the students a fresh perspective to both timeless and current works of art.

“It’s pretty eye-opening for them and very exciting to watch them as they start to experience what’s really going on in the art world,” said John Volk, one of the professors in the art department that heads the trip every other year.

BRYAN DRURY (MFA 2007)

Bryan Drury's 'Portraits' at Dean Project

By KEN JOHNSON
Published February 2, 2012

Dean Project
511 West 25th Street, Chelsea
Through Feb. 25

At first blush Bryan Drury's six compact panel paintings appear to be conventionally old-fashioned portraits of the kind of men and women who have the resources to commission faux-Renaissance pictures of themselves and their family members. But the closer you look, the weirder they seem. Mr. Drury, a recent graduate of the New York Academy of Art, produces an extraordinarily intense realism that registers pores, wrinkles and grainy skin textures as well as hair, jewelry, fabric and glassy eyes so exactingly that you might suspect a high-resolution photographic under layer. (There is none.)
