Chao Ding: LEFTOVER Art Exhibit Opening Reception and Artist Lecture

Sponsored By

August 29 @ 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Broward College’s Visual and Performing Arts department is hosting an opening reception for an art exhibit called “LEFTOVER” on Thursday, August 29 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Rosemary Duffy Larson Gallery, located on the A. Hugh Adams Central Campus (3501 Davie Rd. in Davie). Artist Chao Ding will give a lecture at 5 p.m.

The gallery is located in Fine Arts Building 6 on the southwest corner of the campus. The event is free to attend and no prior registration is necessary.

In “LEFTOVER,” Chao Ding reveals the unusual beauty and poetic significance of deserted spaces through his expressive painting. In mundane scenes of quiet places and exploration of negative space, Ding finds narrative possibilities in a silent dialogue of human absence. Through this imagery that expresses feelings of isolation and displacement, he seeks to create quiet moments of reflection in our fast-paced world, so that new connections may be made.

Chao Ding is a Beijing-native perceptual painter now living and working in Sacramento, California. He received his MFA from Louisiana State University after completing his BA at Beijing University of Technology and postgraduate coursework at SUNY Buffalo State College. Ding\’s work has been shown in both solo and group exhibitions nationally, including a commission for documentary art from the Burden Rural Life Museum. His residencies include New York’s Golden Foundation and the Vermont Studio Center, and his work is represented by Elliott Fouts Gallery.

The free exhibit will be on display at the Rosemary Duffy Larson Gallery from August 19 to September 21. The gallery is open on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. It is closed on Sundays and on Monday, September 2 in observance of Labor Day.

Editor-in-Chief

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
