RENI GOWER (Mechanicsville, VA), GEOmatrix: The Perfect Proof VELI KESSLER (Kent, OH), Structural DeviationMarch 11 – April 13
Reni Gower cuts paper to into “perfect” forms (circles, squares, and triangles) to create immersive installations. GEOmatrix will create a space where the viewer experiences luminous and contemplative designs that instill a sense of respite and mindfulness. Using sacred geometry referencing Celtic and Islamic forms, Gower explores how these patterns create connectedness across cultures and people and "shared humanity." Gower is retired faculty from the Painting and Printmaking Department at Virginia Commonwealth University, a curator for Wylie Contemporary Inc and has exhibited her work across the world. She holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from Syracuse University, a Master of Arts degree from University of Minnesota-Duluth, and a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Eli Kessler’s sculptures explore the history of entertainment, technology, and materiality. His sculptures are created from repurposed objects, steel, carved wood, vinyl, and other mixed media examine particular artifacts, rituals, and cultural phenomena. Kessler earned a BFA from Tyler School of Art, Temple University and an MFA in sculpture from Virginia Commonwealth University. He is currently an Assistant Professor in Sculpture and Expanded Media at Kent State University.
