Reynier Llanes: Pursuit of Grace

September 18–December 13, 2025

Year of the Arts at Rutgers University–Camden presents "Pursuit of Grace" an exhibit by renown artist, Reynier Llanes. Llanes’ paintings of imagined landscapes engage visual metaphors that explore personal, cultural, environmental, and social inquiries. Through these subjects, he asks philosophical questions about time and human experience. His work reminds us that discomfort is a necessary companion on the path to a hopeful and graceful future.
