Common Differences is the 2024 senior art exhibit featuring works by California Lutheran University art majors. The 10 artists showcased in this exhibit delve into diverse backgrounds, mediums, and forms of identity expression. While each artist’s approach is distinctly unique, all the works collectively reflect a shared desire to create art rooted in common human experiences.
The body of work presented by the graduating senior class is centered on the exploration of identity through motifs such as religion, growth, personal storytelling, culture, and mental health. Each artist employs the medium that resonates most with their individual identity.
Bella Abbatoye from Oxnard, Chloë Lauren Zebrack from Los Angeles, and Kenzie Mac Gregor from Agoura Hills specialize in painting. Richard Stokes is a ceramicist from Fresno. Six mixed media artists use various mediums such as drawings, paintings, ceramics, colored pencils, digital art, and photography to create their collections. These artists are Aaron Oliver from Lawndale, Colin Clasen from Corona, Dylan Elizabeth Reinhart from Ventura, Emily Harms from Oregon, Madison Lewis from Los Angeles, and Lily Ball, a native Guatemalan from Moorpark.
We stand out on our own but we stand together in one show.
