“Art is not about pure representation but about our perception of reality. My work is a study on how we perceive place, through a combination of geometric patterns and colors.” So begins the artist’s statement of Michele Chiuini for his new body of work depicting architectural structures – stairs, doorways, windows – in colorful geometric arrangements. From the artist's personal imagination, then, come images that resonate with others, based on their own personal experiences of house, shelter, structure.
An opening reception for the artist will be held First Thursday, April 5th , 2012, from 5 to 8 PM at the downtown gallery. The public is encouraged to attend, and light refreshments will be served. The other downtown galleries will also be hosting free exhibits.
“Perception Pattern Place,” continues through April 30, 2012, and may be viewed during normal business hours: Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5:30 PM, Saturdays, 9 to 3, or by appointment.
