Milan-based artist Milos Zahradka Maiorana will offer a virtual artist talk for "Unquiet Light," his screen print exhibition at Lyon College, on Tuesday, Sept. 30, at 9:30 a.m. in the Maxfield Room on the first floor of Edwards Commons on the Lyon College campus, 2300 Highland Rd., Batesville.
The presentation will be delivered via Zoom during an Advanced Concepts art class, and members of the Lyon campus and the public are invited to attend.
The exhibition remains on view in the Kresge Gallery in the historic Alphin Building through Friday, Oct. 2.
Maiorana’s art practice explores the materiality of language through printmaking, installation and conceptual writing.At Multimondo Press, a DIY screen-print studio and residency he operates outside Rome, he uses analog printing as both a research method and a ritual act—treating the press as a tool for tracing silence, rupture, and repetition.
“Printmaking, for me, is not a means of reproduction but of disruption,” Maiorana said. “It slows language down, returns it to the body and opens space for unknowing.”
"Unquiet Light" takes inspiration fromMysteries, the 1892 novel by Norwegian writer Knut Hamsun. Rather than follow the book’s plot, the prints respond to its atmosphere, exploring themes of identity, isolation, and the tension between faith and illusion.
Through bold color, layered imagery and shifting forms, Maiorana offers a visual meditation on uncertainty, inviting viewers to look closely and sit with the unknown.
