Kevin Corotis has been selected as a featured artist in the Miami University Art Museum 2020 Student response Exhibition! Corotis is a junior at Miami from Oak Park, Illinois. He is majoring in economics with minors in mathematics and ceramics. At Miami, Corotis is involved in many organizations including ceramics, club dodgeball and club table tennis.
Corotis’s piece, Characteristics of a Teapot, was inspired by “the mathematical field of Topology in conjunction with my ceramic abilities,” said Corotis. A fun fact about Corotis is that he is colorblind and left handed. In his dream career, he would love to be a daytime TV show host. His favorite genre of art is impressionism.
This year’s SRE topic was Circling ‘Round, where students thought about what a circle meant to them and how they might interpret it in art. Nearly 100 submissions were received. 32 works by 58 students were chosen to be featured in the Spring 2020 exhibition. As a juried exhibition, all works were selected through a formal process by a committee.
The exhibition will open Tuesday, January 28 and will remain through alumni weekend, closing on June 13. Voting will be open until April 11, 2020. There will be an artist celebration and award ceremony held on April 14, 2020 from 6 to 8 PM where three works will be awarded prizes totaling over $800. The awards are sponsored by the Art Museum Membership Association.
Come see Kevin Corotis’s artwork along with the rest of the student response exhibition, Circling ‘Round, at the Miami University Art Museum!
