 Central Piedmont Community College Art Instructor Al Torres brings “Metamorphosis II,” an exhibition of multi-view paintings that go beyond the physical presence of a person or object. He aims to capture the “truth” of the subject and impart a sense of wonder to the viewer.

Al Torres paints directly onto aluminum surfaces at 45 degrees. The intent is for the spectator to approach the work from the left side, where he or she sees the first image. As they walk toward the center, they encounter a combination of the left and right views. These multiple views help the spectator transition through the story of the overall painting. Finally, once the viewer reaches the right side, the second image manifests as they fully experience a fourth dimension – time. In this type of painting, either side of the image possesses opposite meanings, but their juxtaposition connects them in a harmonious manner.

Students and visitors to this exhibit will experience a single moment or walk through “a dialogue in time.” “Metamorphosis II” provides an opportunity for both education and art appreciation that will leave the viewer transformed and awe-inspired by the stories told. In Torres’ work, the revealed is hidden, and the hidden is revealed.

 

Mandala XLVI

Mandala XLVI the Spark Plug Mandala is a piece of work that was created from objects that are laying around in most people’s homes. In this piece of work Susan Lenz shows us how a human’s creativity has no limit, and can create extraordinary things from simple objects. One person’s trash is another person’s treasure.

Two New Shows

Once and Again: Alterations is a show that brings good memorials of forgotten days back in the modern world. Susan Lenz helps us to see and experience the old world by collecting antique pictures and bringing them together. Saving things is the best way to keep the best memories through time. 

(G)LI(T)CHEN exhibition is the show that combines the different elements of art that leads us into the world of the microcosm. Paul Farmer shows us the way that lichen species can tell us about the environmental health of a particular region. The artist brings the organic structure of lichen species to combine with geometric shapes and creates another way for us to see the world.
