HENDERSON, Tenn. 鈥� (Sept. 25, 2026) 鈥� 快猫视频 adjunct art professor Josie Goulding will explore the stories of literary individuals often labeled as villains in 鈥淢isunderstood Villains,鈥� a temporary art exhibit on display Oct. 5 through Nov. 20 in the Troy Plunk Art Gallery in the Bulliner-Clayton Visual Arts Center. A reception will be held Oct. 8 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm

Through printmaking, painting and sculpture, Goulding鈥檚 collection examines how society鈥檚 perceptions can shape the way individuals are often viewed and treated. The exhibit draws inspiration from literary figures whose stories are often more complex than their reputations suggest, including Eric from 鈥淭he Phantom of the Opera,鈥� Quasimodo from 鈥淭he Hunchback of Notre Dame,鈥� Javert from 鈥淟es Mis茅rables,鈥� Gollum from 鈥淭he Lord of the Rings,鈥� Judas Iscariot from the Bible, Frankenstein鈥檚 Monster from 鈥淔rankenstein鈥� and Elphaba from 鈥淲icked.鈥�

鈥淰illains created by society are often misunderstood,鈥� Goulding said. 鈥淪ociety chooses to shun people for one or more of three categories: their beliefs, their appearances or their actions. Being self-aware of how one treats others creates a better world.鈥�

Goulding鈥檚 newest pieces use layered linocut editions to represent the community trauma and outside influences that helped shape the characters. After carving each layer, Goulding cuts into the pieces, mounting them with space between the layers. The resulting tunnel effect creates visual depth and invites viewers to look beyond the surface of each character.

鈥淭he viewer can feel the depth of the characters and that there is more beneath the surface of these infamous individuals,鈥� Goulding said.

The collection is influenced by the concepts of Orientalism, beauty discord and kinetic art, as well as the work of artists such as Kara Walker and Rebecca Miller. Goulding鈥檚 distinctive drawing style and heavy line quality carry throughout the collection, while bright colors and imagery draw from the stories that inspired the work.

A Henderson resident, Goulding earned her first degree from FHU in 2011 in missions and studio art before returning to the university in 2019 to complete a Bachelor of Fine Arts. She taught art at Jackson Christian School in Jackson, Tennessee, for nine years before earning a Master of Fine Arts in visual arts from Jacksonville University in Jacksonville, Florida. She joined FHU鈥檚 Art Department as an adjunct professor following her graduation.

Goulding has exhibited her work in group shows throughout her native Richmond, Virginia, as well as in Jackson and Paris, Tennessee, and Jacksonville, Florida.
