David Pace: Sur la Route
The photographs in the series Sur La Route ("on the road") by David Pace were taken in the rural village of Bereba in the West African country of Burkina Faso. They are elegant portraits of Pace's neighbors as they return home on an earthen path at the day's end. He uses a fill-flash to illuminate his subjects and to "take advantage of beautiful skies that appear for just a few moments before nightfall." As a counter to media portrayals of Africa as either devastated or exotic, Pace emphasizes both the beauty of the landscape and the "simple beauty of everyday life" in Bereba.
11:00 am-5:00pm, Tuesday-Saturday, through May 28 (LHUCA)
"Ezio Gribaudo's Theaters of Memory"
The Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts (LHUCA) hosts the work of Ezio Gribaudo, an internationally recognized artist and art publisher, from April 1 to May 28, 2016. Born in 1929, Gribaudo's artistic roots are in modernism, surrealism, and abstract art. Gribaudo is a world traveler who has exhibited a wide variation of beautiful paintings, prints, and sculptures on nearly every continent of the globe. During his long and prolific career, Gribaudo has become famous for his creative experimentation with graphic arts and printing techniques.
