The Butte College Art Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition by artist, Cassius Sonoquie.  This exhibition will be on display from January 28  – February 28, 2020, in the Butte College Art Gallery on the Main Campus. An artist’s closing reception and will take place on Thursday, February 27, 2020, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the gallery.

 Cassius Sonoquie is a Butte College Arts student who is in the final phases of study in the painting and drawing program. Cassius was recently accepted into one of the most prominent Art Schools in the United States, Cooper Union in New York City. Cassius will begin this study in Fall 2020. This show illustrates a successful body of work from a developed student in our Arts Program.

The 2017- Present show is a collective of working ranging from small scale mixed media drawings to larger paintings in acrylic on canvas. The works investigate the human form, predominately as portraits.  Cassius identifies each piece in ambiguous dialogue, often illustrating the individual as androgynist.  The work is intimate and personal and hosts titles as, Self Portrait as Someone Else.
