Up Coming Exhibit: Modern Masterpieces

“Modern Masterpieces” is a nod to art history. The juried group exhibit will showcase fine art pieces that were inspired by the style of past well-known artists or an art movement. It will take place at Downtowner Gallery, Round Rock, Texas between April 27th - June 25th, 2021.

This exciting exhibit is promised to deliver a reflection of the past with the signature voice of the current artist who created the work. The show will provide the viewer with a glimpse into the inspiration and the influences that fuels the artist’s creative journey.

I’m so proud to have my work “Zebra Party” participate in this exhibit! The piece was inspired by the Geometric Optical Art movement. It was specifically influenced by Victor Vasarely’s masterpiece "Zebra" (1937). Victor Vasarely (1906-1997) was an Hungarian-French artist who was one of the leaders of the Optical Art movement. The 20th century movement presented mostly abstract visual art that provided the viewer with optical illusions of movement or hidden images. Vasarely’s “Zebra” is considered one of the earliest examples of optical art. In the painting you can see two zebras intertwine and overlapping with one another. Black and white stripes allows you to separate the two creatures as they alternate on a black background.

My work “Zebra Party” was my first attempt at optical art, and part of my self-education journey to learn more about the history of abstract geometric art. This piece is part of a developing small work series named “Patterns in Chaos”.
