The show runs May 1-25 in the Baxter Gallery of Armour Academic Center.
Bryan, who died unexpectedly in 2013, was one of the artists featured in the school’s first Alumni Art Exhibit, part of the school's 125th anniversary celebration. The current show is being held in honor of Bryan's 35th reunion.
Bryan earned a B.F.A. in 1984 at Tulane University. He later studied at the California College of Arts and Crafts, receiving a M.F.A in 1988. He had a studio and lived in Connecticut near the same farm where he was raised.
With his signature woodcuts, Bryan was able to elevate ordinary logs, found in what he often described as “boneyards,” into magnificent prints of nature from the “inside out.” And it was through these prints that he gained much artistic acclaim.

His work has been internationally exhibited, including an installation for the American Pavilion at the 2005 World’s Fair in Aichi, Japan. The recipient of two Connecticut Individual Artist Grants and a California Arts Council Fellowship, his work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times Magazine and Sculpture magazine, among other publications. In 2012, Princeton Architectural Press released 31 of his original prints in a book titled “Woodcut,” which received widespread acclaim and was named one of the best books of the year by The New York Times Style Magazine.
The exhibit is free and open to the public Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Ample parking is available in the parking lot adjacent to Armour Academic Center.
