Rex Stennett Opening Reception

The Defiance College Women's Commission Gallery will feature the paintings of Rex Stennett from February 24 through March 27.  An opening reception will be held on Tuesday, February 24, from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m., and is free and open to the public.

Stennett is an Ohio native, and has been painting for most of his life.  He studied art at Bowling Green State University, and is currently attending the Academy of Art University in San Francisco in the School of Illustration.  He lists de Kooning, Matisse, and Rembrandt as artistic influences.  While his resume includes portraiture, murals, and easel paintings for patrons across the country and beyond, his current works feature primarily black and white, exploring form pared down to its essentials.

The Women's Commission Gallery is located in Dana Hall on the Defiance College campus, and is open weekdays 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., or by appointment.  Contact Gallery Coordinator Jan Bechtel at 419-783-2444 for more information.
