Khalil Allaik: Manifesting Form Lafayette College Art Galleries Williams Center, 317 Hamilton St., Easton, PA 610-330-5603 Galleries.lafayette.edu January 6–February 9, 2022 Khalil Allaik: Manifesting Form features works of art that have endured the artist’s multivalent contemplation of formal ideas and how these ideas come to life as drawings, sculptural assemblages, etchings, or carved objects. Allaik takes these forms and plays with them through various materials and media, and gleans from the material the best expression of this shape. At Lafayette College’s Williams Center Gallery, you will see how these forms change as they manifest themselves through various artistic genres, from drawings to prints, to sculptures. Allaik’s creative work and artistic practice place him in a rarified position with one foot solidly planted in the rigors of academic investigation, and the other in conceptual formalist play.
