Mark Acetelli will be one of the artists featured at the Bruce Lurie Gallery.
The Bruce Lurie Gallery at 873 Via de la Paz will host Sonic Visions, an exhibition featuring the lasts paintings by Mark Acetlli and George Mead from September 7 through October 2.
An opening reception will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, September 7.
Mark Acetelli is a self-taught artist that was born in Detroit. His recent series, Gathering Light, engages in a visual dialogue about overcoming obstacles and challenges, being resilient in the face of our vulnerabilities, and finding light in the darkness. This series embodies the spark of hope that refuses to burn out, reminding viewers that in the darkest of nights, the stars shine the brightest.
George Mead grew up in the South, and studied in the East, North, and West —at places like The Museum School of Fine Arts in Boston and at The California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland. He spent years in the entertainment industry, painting large-scale backdrops and other heroic representations of communal dreams, using the same techniques he employed later to augment and honor low-income communities and buildings on the West Coast and elsewhere with massive murals of everything from plants to musicians to humpback whales.
With his Art of the LP Series, George is back to one of his original passions: contemporary music, the visual expression that completes it, and the history that surrounds it.
George Mead’s “art of the LP” series will be at the Lurie Gallery.
