An art exhibit by Luther College Associate Professor of Art Ben Moore opens Monday at the Wigley Fleming Art Gallery on the Luther campus.

Moore's current work explores the sublime. His goal is to depict a place so supernatural that it transports the viewer away from Earth while their feet never leave the ground.

Moore teaches in the visual and performing arts department. His areas of specialty are painting, drawing, foundations and digital media. Moore earned his bachelor's degree from Luther and his Master of Fine Arts from the University of Iowa.

Moore will give an artist talk at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the Wigley Fleming art gallery in the Center For the Arts on the Luther campus. There also will be a reception outside the gallery from 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. Friday.
