Embodied Emotions: Celebrating the Human Form

The Lancaster Art Vault proudly presents Embodied Emotions: Celebrating the Human Form, an evocative exhibition that explores the vast spectrum of human emotions through the lens of the human body. This diverse collection brings together the work of both established and emerging artists, each offering their own interpretation of how the body expresses feelings, from the subtle to the intense.

Amie Bantz explores identity and the duality of existence, drawing on her Korean-American upbringing to tell a layered, nostalgic story. Vikki Sloviter captures the grace and vulnerability of the human form through dance photography, freezing moments of movement. Dan Graziano’s paintings reveal the hidden beauty in fleeting moments of everyday life, using dramatic light, shadow, and color to depict diverse subjects. Emerging artists Ceanna Davis and Genevieve Ehrman bring fresh perspectives, pushing boundaries and challenging traditional representations of the human form.

The juried selection features 22 talented artists who collectively create a rich and layered dialogue exploring the interconnectedness of emotion and form. Those artists include: Kate Brockman, Callie Morton, Chelsea Graham, Connor Gautieri, Deanna Boyer, Douglas Anderson, Sarah Joy Dunlap, Edward Berkoski, Em Reifsnyder, Ingrid Nuttle, Isiah Bates, Kelby Weaver, Kyle Newkirk, Lee Shannon, Mark A. Dennis, Rachell Yinger, Sarah Lailson, Shannon Ryan, Tina Borchert, Tori Thomas, and Megan Elaine Wirick

From sculptural works to vivid paintings, Embodied Emotions is a celebration of artistic interpretations that honor the body’s role as a vessel of human experience. This exhibition is a testament to the power of art to express and communicate our deepest feelings.
