COLLEGE PARK, MD--The University of Maryland's Union Gallery presents, Bodies: Prints by Matthew Clay-Robison, from March 31 to April 22.

The exhibition of over 25 woodcut and serigraph prints spans different "bodies" of the artist's oeuvre and continues printmaking's longstanding tradition as a vehicle for social and political commentary. From charged critiques of the current administration to the depiction of a fight the artist witnessed while living in Washington, D.C., Bodies focuses on the artist's experience with a multitude of literal and figurative landscapes.

"I am interested in showing these dynamic events that happen on a daily basis between people. There is so much there, if you're paying attention. I'm not sure why I'm drawn to the bad things, probably because they bother me, and I feel that I need to show them," said Clay-Robison, a printmaker, University of Maryland alumni and assistant professor in the Department of Art and Art History at Bloomsburg University.

Exhibition events include an artist's lecture on Thursday, March 31, from 4-4:45 p.m. in the Stamp Student Union's Margaret Brent Room and an opening reception to follow from 5-7 p.m. in the Union Gallery.

The Union Gallery is located on the first floor of the Stamp Student Union on the campus of the University of Maryland. Hours are 10:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
