The Daily Bruin

Everyone on campus is invited to visit a free art exhibition featuring the work of Tim Timmerman, a professor of art and design here at George Fox.

The exhibit, “Allegory of Love,” remains up through Oct. 21 in the Lindgren Gallery in the Ross Center. The gallery will be open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

This exhibition features the paintings and assemblage work of Timmerman, who was moved by Paolo Veronese’s paintings, “Allegories of Love,” when traveling in Italy on Juniors Abroad.

Timmerman’s “Allegory of Love” contemplates how God can move and show up in our lives, and how encountering the divine is something we are invited into every day. In these pieces, Timmerman draws from both Old Testament narratives as well as stories from his own life.

For more information, contact Sarah Cuevas, exhibitions and collections assistant, at scuevas15@georgefox.edu.
