\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. — January 13, 2006 — Visitors to the 溏心vlog免费B站 Library on the Kingston Campus will find the gallery walls awash with a visual version of Homer\u2019s epic poem, The Iliad. <\/p>\n


\n\tThe exhibit, \u201cThe Iliad\u2014A New Translation,\u201d will feature mixed media works by Rhode Island artist Merle Mainelli Poulton from Jan. 23 through March 2, 2006. Free and open to the public, the gallery is open Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to midnight; Friday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; and Sunday 1 p.m. to midnight. Additionally, the artist will speak on Feb. 9 in the University Library Galanti Lounge from 4 to 5:30 p.m.<\/p>\n


\n\tEach painting contains an entire book or chapter based on Richmond Lattimore’s translation of The Iliad. \u201cThis body of work is a new translation – a literal, visual one,\u201d said Poulton in her artist\u2019s statement. <\/p>\n


\n\tThe artist\u2019s The Iliad series began in July 2001 and was completed in Nov. 2003. \u201cDuring its creation, many significant world events unfolded before us, often mirroring the Greek epic,\u201d Poulton said. \u201cIt validates the notion that our unfolding history is in fact cyclical and that the Iliad is still a contemporary piece of work.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tWorking as a full time artist since 1984, Poulton has published drawings\/illustrations in two books, and her work has been included in exhibits nationwide. The Rhode Island State Council on the Arts awarded her the Painting Fellowship in November 2001. Poulton received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting from the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, N.Y. and her comprehensive jewelry- making diploma from the Jewelry Institute in Providence, R.I. The artist lives in Lincoln, R.I. and has a studio in Pawtucket.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe exhibit and reception are sponsored by the 溏心vlog免费B站 Center for the Humanities, the Department of Languages, the Honors Program and Visiting Scholars Committee, and the Department of Art.<\/p>\n
