Marbles Gallery: Friday, 2 October 2009
Marbles Gallery exhibits "As American as Apple Pie" new mixed media works by Richard Rodriguez, October 2 – 31.
Opening Reception:
Friday, October 2 from 6-9 p.m.
Meet the artist and enjoy food, a glass of wine, live music!
Free and open to the public
Richard Rodriguez approaches art from a political point of view. "Apple Pie" takes America's love of guns and turns it on its head, capturing that sudden violent flash as a beautiful instant on canvas. In that instant he creates a collage of fractals and Mandelbrot sets, resembling views from the Hubble or the trails left by the remains of smashed atoms in a super collider. Scientists search for the glue of the universe, by looking back in time and pulverizing matter. As we hurdle through the blackness of the universe he seeks to capture this elusive moment in time.
These objects were created by suspending paint filled balloons in front of stretched and prepared canvas. Tissue paper, foil, and markers were used in addition to acrylics. He then fired a variety of weapons at the balloon/canvas suspension.
Open before yoga classes through October 31. Call 314.621.4744 to confirm additional hours or for an appointment
