Exhibit showcases Billy May e r ’s work Trent Thiele S t a f f W r i t e r Back in May of this year, an exhibit was opened to showcase the works of the late Billy Mayer in the Kruizenga Art Museum. The exhibit features all kinds of sculptures and works from Mayer’s career as an artist. Among them, there are many abstract colors and references to popular culture with a twist. Others feature nods to his familial history and past. In one piece, there were two portraits, side by side, of Mayer’s parents when they were children which he punctuated with two sculptures. One was an amplifier with a gun on top, and the other TWO PORTRAITS — Th e late Billy M a y e r provided the Art was what seemed to be a record D e p a r t m e n t with years of love and dedication to his work.
