Radford University Art Museum remembers art professor with
“Ed LeShock: a Retrospective”
|
|
Some would say artists are immortal. They leave a lasting impression through their art that often lingers beyond their life span. Radford University Art Museum is making sure this is the case for professor of art Edward LeShock.
In remembrance, the museum is hosting a retrospective exhibition of his artwork. A reception at 5 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 2, 2017, opens the exhibit of LeShock’s prints, paintings, drawings and sculpture in the Covington Center gallery.
LeShock taught at Radford University from 1977 until his death in 2013. His classes covered a wide gamut from graphic design to drawing. While teaching, he also freelanced as a graphic designer and illustrator. Clients such as Newsweek, the U.S. Department of Defense and Playboy featured his work.
