Visit the Pence to view a new art exhibit by Joseph Bellacera!
Joseph Bellacera: The Matter of Light Exhibit: Dec. 8, 2023 – Feb. 2, 2024
Reception: Friday, Dec. 8, 6 – 9 PM
Grounded in the concept that everything in the universe is a manifestation of the energy of light, Joseph Bellacera has created several series of work that reflect his interest in changing light into matter, and matter into light. In large-scale mixed media works and digital print, the artist turns his observations of the natural world into intriguing configurations of color, pattern, and texture. Using materials as diverse as wood, concrete, hydrocal, and clay, Bellacera constructs forms that alter and build upon geometric solids, covering them in a heightened range of colors.
Artist Talk: Saturday, Dec. 16, 3 – 4 PM (Free, $10 donation suggested)
Joseph Bellacera talks about his work on display in light of his interest in merging scientific theories about the nature of light with his art-making process. Sponsored by Rosa Marquez & Yatish Mishra, and Tom Doyle & Kathy Joseph Image: Bellacera, “Lightning Bird”
