Description:
Shaun Whiteside, a graduating RU student in the Master of Fine Arts program, exhibits his best works.

Shaun C. Whiteside works with acrylic paint in a style most influenced by Abstract Expressionism, with an emphasis on the metaphysical and emotional realm rather than on optical reality. Using several layers of thin glazes, partially washed away, he creates oppressively dense atmospheric environments with biomorphic, liquid shapes within them. Whiteside graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts from Christopher Newport University in 2007 before coming to Radford University to earn a Master of Fine Arts degree. He has recently been awarded both a Best in Show at the Peninsula Fine Arts Center's 2010 Biennial Exhibition as well as a 2011-2012 VMFA Fellowship grant, and his works are in several private collections across Virginia.
