'Cosplay' Exhibit by Ana Sabian in Park National Bank Art Gallery at UC Clermont College

Cosplay

, a solo exhibit presented by Ana Sabian, will be featured in the Park National Bank Art Gallery at UC Clermont College from August 9-30. There will be an opening reception on August 9 from 6-9 p.m. The reception is free and open to the public.

Sabian received graduate degrees in fine arts at UC’s College of Design, Art, Architecture, and Planning (DAAP) and Morehead State University. “It’s all about the outfits we wear, the costumes that identify us, make us feel confident or malicious,” said Sabian. The artist’s works feature wood relief panels with mixed media.

Through her art, Sabian also addresses the idea of identity and the use of cosmetic surgery in our culture “to become objects of our greatest desire or spectacular horror. We’re all cosplaying at this very moment. We all know it, love it, and will never stop doing it. I’m just taking snapshots of the events and showing them to you,” said Sabian.  

The Park National Bank Art Gallery is located in the Snyder building on the UC Clermont College campus in Batavia at 4200 Clermont College Drive. Summer gallery hours are Monday-Thursday 7:30 a.m. – 6 p.m., Friday 7:30 a.m. – 4 p.m., and closed weekends. The exhibition and events are free and open to the public.
