Memories of the rural landscapes of his childhood on a Nebraska farm remain a foundation of his life and work.

With dramatic light and deep shadow, common trees, weeds, and flowers exude a spiritual presence.<\/p>\n<p>Bouc has been a fixture in the Columbus art scene for over 40 years. He is both an accomplished artist and the former Deputy Director of the Columbus Museum of Art.<\/p>\n<p>OWU Sponsoring Organization\/Office: Ross Art Museum<br \/>\nContact: Christopher Yates at <a href=\"mailto:cayates@owu.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cayates@owu.edu<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join us on Tuesday, April 21, in the Ross Art Museum for a Walk &amp; Talk tour of\u00a0 Rod Bouc&#8217;s exhibit &#8220;Transitory Spaces.&#8221; We&#8217;ll gather at 1 p.m., and conversation will begin promptly at 1:15 p.m. Bouc will discuss his subject matter and technique &#8211; specifically his use of paint sticks.
