This thoughtfully rendered linocut by HCC student Susan Bartos depicts a face—presumably of a person named “Mike”—executed through energetic linework of various shapes and sizes. Ovular marks in the background add visual rhythm and depth. Created in Professor Omar Richardson’s Printmaking II class at the Ybor City Campus, this piece was selected by Art Gallery Staff as a winner of the 51st Annual Student Juried Exhibition and purchased from Bartos for the college’s Permanent Art Collection.
This work of art is a part of the HCC Permanent Art Collection. Through its Campus Loan Outreach Program, HCC Art Galleries seek to share original works by collecting a diversity of art for the education and enjoyment of the HCC community.
