P&S psychiatry professor and alumnus David Forrest poses with his likeness at the opening reception for the eighth annual CUMC Fine Art Exhibition. Dr. Forrest modeled for the mixed-media piece, “Psychoanalyst as a Renaissance Man,” a collaboration between him and prominent RISDE trained artist Christiane Corbat, who cast it on him and illuminated it to show left and right brain influences.
The exhibition, which showcases the artistry and creativity of the extended CUMC family, is on display throughout Lower Levels 1 and 2 of the Hammer Health Sciences Center.
