APSU student Collins opens ‘Beauty and Obese’ show at Trahern Gallery
Rayven Collins’ solo senior art show, “Beauty and OBESE,” will open Nov. 16, from 7 to 9 p.m., in Trahern 106 at Austin Peay State University.
Collins’ show, which runs from Nov. 16-20, will feature beautifully executed drawings and paintings in a photorealistic manner. She depicts full figured women at obscure angels with interesting compositions, as well as showing “thick” women in the most beautiful and classical pictorials.
“My show is about thick women and how society views them,” Collins said. “Beauty is something I’ve been questioning since I can remember. I portray thick women in the best of the light and the worst of light to make a statement on how different our ideals of beauty are.”
Collins has participated in many art shows in Tennessee and is looking forward to being represented by a gallery full-time.
“Since I was 5-years-old, I knew I wanted to be an artist,” she said. “I live and breathe art. I can’t imagine life without it.”
Collins has been studying fine art at APSU since 2005 and will graduate Dec. 18 with a Bachelors in Fine Art, concentration in drawing and painting. She plans to further her career in Los Angeles, Calif.
