St. Edward’s University to Host John Cobb Exhibition

St. Edward’s University is pleased to present the recent work of alumnus John Cobb, who graduated in 1983. The exhibition, entitled Saints, Seekers, and Seers, opens Friday, Sept. 9, in the gallery of the university’s Fine Arts Center. Primarily done in handmade egg tempera, much of Cobb’s work is highly spiritual in content and subject matter with contemporized references to biblical themes.

Cobb has exhibited extensively throughout Texas and elsewhere in the United States. In 2004, his work was featured in a one-person exhibition at the Museum of the Southwest in Corpus Christi.
