SUMMARY:Harris Gallery Presents Material Worlds
DESCRIPTION:Featured Artists: \nAlycia Anthony\nAdam Belt\nAlbert Contreras\nDavid Allan Peters\nZemer Peled \n\n \nThe Harris Art Gallery is excited to present Material Worlds a group exhibition featuring paintings and sculptures by Alycia Anthony\, Adam Belt\, Albert Contreras\, David Allan Peters\, and Zemer Peled. \n  \nAlycia Anthony personalizes found objects with colorful and patterned synthetic materials. For her recent sculptures Anthony salvaged antiquated fitness equipment from the backyard of her family’s home – neglected objects of transformation that had fallen into disrepair. In her studio\, she went to work adorning pedals\, pulleys\, and levers with tightly woven paracord\, casting vintage lace\, and integrating domestic plastic coverings. Her aesthetic acumen and careful manipulation exposed contradictions and created new meanings. Rejuvenated with elaborate exoskeletons of colorful paracord and punchy plastic hues\, these defunct gym machines now exist in a state of tension between failure and resilience. \n  \nAdam Belt’s Phase Form sculptures are cubic blocks of translucent polyurethane resin. With a keen interest in natural forces\, Belt’s sculptures intellectually address the visible electromagnetic spectrum and romantically embrace enigmatic atmospheric phenomena. The pristine surfaces draw viewers in to examine subtle color shifts of sunset orange\, frosty blue\, or shadowy gray. Each rectilinear object seems to contain an idiosyncratic microclimate in a state of flux: freezing\, evaporating\, or igniting. \n  \nIn the Guided by Voices song Watch me Jumpstart front man Bob Pollard sings\, “X marks the spot\, I can’t pretend to be something I’m not.” These lyrics seem to encapsulate the exact and sincere sentiment of Albert Contreras’ thick acrylic “X” paintings. Working with goopy puddles of color atop a monochromatically painted wood panel\, Contreras swipes two crisscrossing diagonals that make deep marks in the viscous material.  As the paint dries\, his action is recorded and the translucency of the X’s color glows as it optically mixes with the underpainting. This technique of very wet over dry repeated in different colors on different panels creates a series of unique moments – excitement frozen in time to revisit and enjoy. \n  \nDavid Allan Peters’ optically dazzling\, all-over color and texture compositions begin quietly and methodically. His honed practice of layering acrylic colors over acrylic colors builds a substantial surface and sets the stage for his rhythmic excavations. Working with blades and tools\, Peters cuts and gouges into the painting’s surface to reveal brilliant hues. His relief marks may have a directional formation that implies a flowing movement or they might cluster into a pattern that repeats and spreads across the painting. These works reward close-up viewing where one can examine the intricate cuts that uncover vibrating colors. \n  \nPrecisely assembled from individual pieces\, Zemer Peled’s porcelain sculptures present blooming colors. Shards are strategically grouped according to shape and color to form an overall geometric volume.  There’s a magical transformation – what was once singular\, sharp\, and hard becomes a soft\, organic pedal or wave among many that create captivating cohesive whole. From all sides\, up close\, and standing back\, Peled’s sculptures radiate a sense of tranquility and awe that seems to draw from nature’s beauty and the human spirit. \n  \nThe Harris Gallery is located across from the Abraham Campus Center at 2000 Second Street on the La Verne campus.

SUMMARY:Studio Focus – COLOR!
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Art\, Art History\, and Photography is very excited to present Studio Focus COLOR!\, an installation of student works from Art 360 Painting 1 Spring 2025. Each student created a unique experience using acrylic paint on canvas. Their painting approaches share a common thread of expressive color and embrace the technique of layering both imagery and abstraction. \nThese paintings are inviting and present delightful surprises. When viewing this exhibition\, one can enjoy the idiosyncrasies of each canvas – energetic gestures\, carefully rendered flowers\, intricate patterns\, and breathtaking atmospheres. Variations in hue\, translucency\, and texture emphasize the moods and environments of these rich\, imaginary spaces. \nFeatured Artists:  \nAidan Catullo\nVanessa Cruz\nAriadne Gamboa\nJulia Luera\nAlicia Naranjo\nNatalia Ortiz\nJasmine Vazquez \n  \nThe West Gallery is located on the 2nd floor in the Abraham Campus Center at 2000 Second Street on the La Verne campus.\nFor more information\, please visit https://artsci.laverne.edu/art/exhibition or contact Dion Johnson – djohnson@laverne.edu\nDepartment of Art and Art History | University of La Verne | 1950 Third Street | La Verne\, California | 91750 \n
