Focus On Steven Robnett

LOCKPORT-- Explore the drawings and paintings of artist Steven Robnett at a curator's talk at the Illinois State Museum Lockport Gallery on Sunday, July 15, 2012, from 2:00 to 3:00 pm. ISMLG Director Jim L. Zimmer will present "Focus On Steven Robnett," providing an overview of how the artist uses human figures as narrative images that metaphorically expose the human condition.

Steven Robnett is one of four artists featured in the current exhibition Focus 4: Four Solo Exhibitions on view thru October 5, 2012.
