Joseph Di Bella: Departures and Arrivals, Faculty Solo Exhibition

DuPont Gallery

January 23-February 22

Opening Jan. 22, 5-7pm

Artist Statement: “The vanitas theme underlies many of these works. It manifests itself in questions about spirituality and materialism, personal uniqueness lost to collective identity, tentative balances between antagonists, and impaired beauty. Often these questions take the form of divisions, separations and confluence of disparate elements of media, technique, representation, abstraction, pattern, color, and form.”
