Mindscape: The Subjective Realism of Steve Breerwood

Exhibit Dates: February 1-22, 2018
Opening Reception: February 1, 2018 | 5:30-7:30 p.m.

Steve Breerwood’s paintings, while varying in subject, all relate back to the relationship with his inner-self, “the space between my own ears.” His oil paintings, which represent both figurative and imaginative scenes of individuals in solitude, blue-collar employees of corporate industries like Wal-Mart, and dream-like imagery, challenge our perception of the self and represent how we, internally, interpret reality. His work is layered in human experience, and based as an autobiographical narrative, gives the viewer a glimpse into our collective subjective reality.

Buddy Broncho made his first appearance in UCO's own newspaper The Vista. It was the October 3, 1932, issue where a Broncho appears wearing a UCO football uniform. He has appeared numerous times throughout the years from local Edmond papers in the 60's to state-wide papers in the 80's. The commissioning of the first ever live mascot appears in UCO's 1979 Bronze Book where Buddy Broncho made his first public appearance at Homecoming. Since that time, Buddy has been a fixture at UCO events and in the hearts of UCO students.
