Michael McCaffrey is the latest featured artist at 91��Ƭ��’s Erman B. White Gallery of Art, with a new exhibition titled “Dog Days.”

An assistant teaching professor in the visual art department at the University of Kansas, McCaffrey’s work typically features oil paintings and drawings of his elderly father and his home in Lawrence, Kansas. With color choices alternating between bright synthetic hues and neutrals associated with Kansas, McCaffrey records accurate visual information and abstract forms.

91��Ƭ�� assistant art professor Rachel Curtis served as the college’s point person for the exhibition. “We are very excited to host the work of Michael McCaffrey, a prolific artist who makes vibrant and chunky work based on his life and relationships,” she said.

McCaffrey has exhibited regionally and nationally, including at the Prince Street Gallery and First Street Gallery in New York, New York, Manifest Gallery in Cincinnati, Ohio, the Leedy-Voulkos Arts Center in Kansas City, Missouri, and the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. In 2016, his work was published in Manifest Gallery's International Painting Annual 5, and he has twice received an international grant from the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation.
