Color Ways
North Classroom Building: January 2025 – June 2025
Come enjoy the new show in North Classroom Building! Central Piedmont Community College’s Gorelick Galleries is pleased to present an exhibition featuring Tom Thoune and Amy St. Aubin. Tom’s artwork focuses on his hospital experience after a cerebellar stroke. For his self prescribed occupational therapy, he took on relearning many traditional visual art concepts, such as ancient Egyptian and Greek body proportions as well as revisiting color theory. His color study focused on harmonious recipes found on the “Pocket Color Wheel’. Amy’s artwork represents an evolution of her practice over the past fifteen years, focusing on the figure as a portal between landscapes. She explores the interaction between the figure and the background, pushing the figure into the foreground or placing it within the landscape to manipulate depth. This series continues to incorporate collage and cold wax, expanding across different surfaces. In these pieces, the figure becomes either a presence or an absence, reflecting the spaces left after physical loss. Her work conveys the disbelief that what once was, is no longer—but still lingers.

The Thin Red Line
Cato Campus at Annable: March 2025 – July 2025
Stop by Cato Campus to see the lates exhibition featuring Mario Loprete! Italian artist, Mario Loprete brings to us a fresh look at the archaic artistic culture of Italy with hip hop vibe. Created during the lockdowns of 2020, Loprete the idea of street art and street performers, or lack thereof during the lockdowns, inspired him. Reversing the concept of bringing art to the streets, Loprete brings street to art.
Ancient Romans famously built and sculpted out of concrete. Using his own clothing as inspiration, Loprete created concrete sculptures formed out of shirts, hats, shoes and more. Using masks as a support medium, Loprete incorporates hip hop dance and graffiti into his exhibition, mixing both traditional and contemporary styles as his muse.
