The exhibition “What Was Lost?” opens Monday at the Thomases Family Endowment Art Gallery in the Jewish Community Center of Youngstown.

It features two individual bodies of work by the artist couple Christina Humble and Ross Mazzupappa. The show collectively explores themes of nostalgia, fantasy and objectivity.

Mazzupappa is a multi-disciplinary artist who incorporates printmaking, photography and digital imaging. His work explores themes of labor, industry, place, memory and history of the Rust Belt. He attended Youngstown State University, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in studio art printmaking / painting and a master’s degree from University of Iowa. He has developed several processes including a photomechanical etching technique, affordable roller / brayer making and various designs for specialized equipment.

His artwork has been shown in national and international galleries, exhibitions and portfolios and is part of private and public collections. Mazzupappa currently is an assistant teaching professor of printmaking and photography at Bowling Green State University.

Humble is an interdisciplinary artist working in painting, photography, glass casting, and monoprint. Her work often features clusters of oversaturated imagery and explores themes of identity, fantasy and reverie.

She also has a bachelor’s degree in painting / printmaking from YSU, and she earned her master’s degree in studio art from the American University in Washington, D.C.

Her work has been shown in galleries and exhibitions from Cleveland to Lithuania and Germany. She is currently an instructor of painting, printmaking and foundations at Adrian College in Michigan.

The exhibition will be on display through Dec. 22 at the gallery, 505 Gypsy Lane, Youngstown, and also can be viewed virtually at
