Esvelt
Gallery
Immerse In Art
The Gallery acts as a focal point for ideas presented in all manner of styles, which operate on both intellectual and tangible levels. This availability of art is not only an important aspect of culture for the broader community who view it, but also a valuable part of maintaining a healthy collegial environment for the CBC campus community.
The Esvelt Gallery brings art from visiting artists, faculty, and students through sponsorship from ASCBC and the Art Department. Our desire is to provide an artistic experience through a variety of exhibitions, artist lectures, workshops, and demonstrations, all of which are open to the student body and the public.
Admission is free and the public is welcome.
Art is an experience
Current Exhibit
Rising and Gliding
September 16 through October 31
Image: Tingler, Oil, Alkyd on Panel, 2004, 35 ½” x 79 ¼”
Rising & Gliding is an exhibition that features a selection of works by artist Richard Martinez (1965-2020). The artwork in this show expresses a deeply personal visual language that intertwines culture, art history, and the pure act of painting. The shaped paintings create a connection between baroque and Hispanic cultural elements while simultaneously referencing Modernist painters like Frank Stella and Elsworth Kelly. The artwork is primarily non-representational and does not lead to a specific or singular narrative, but rather allows for each individual to freely explore the possibilities of meaning that can arise by experiencing the work.Read More
