Moby Dick: Heart of the Sea presents imagery relating to the classic Melville novel Moby Dick. Exhibiting artists George Klauba and Kathleen Piercefield are each natives of the Chicago area. Works by Robert McCauley, former chair of Rockford College Department of Art, will provide a sculptural element to the exhibition. Their contrasts in style and media, Klauba's realistic paintings, Piercefield's expressive, multi-media prints and Robert McCauley's sculptural assemblages will make for a striking and challenging show. Author and Moby-Dick scholar Robert Wallace will lead a gallery walk at the members preview on April 17, 2009.
