The Middle: Paintings by Will Maxen & Bradley Kerl (LSUMOA Glassell Gallery)

LSU School of Art’s Glassell Gallery will feature the work of painters Will Maxen and Bradley Kerl, who recently joined LSU School of Art’s faculty. The Middle finds common ground in the praxes of these two faculty painters who share a deep interest in the materiality and application of paint in their studio practices. Both artists compose images through a variety of methods—collage, iterative repetition, historical and everyday references—that, together, collapse linear time through a paradoxical focus on fleeting moments and enduring presence. This exhibition will be on view January 17–March 14, 2026.
