Brialliance in the Mundane

 

Brilliance in the Mundane explores the extraordinary potential hidden within the everyday. This exhibition brings together the work of Kevin Broad, Sean Irwin, Bruce Hoffman, Warren Muller, and Gerri Spilka, each artist transforming the ordinary through their unique engagement with light and color. Their art reveals how the commonplace can be elevated to reveal profound beauty and significance, through craft and pushing the limits of their mediums. Kevin Broad captures the subtle play of light and color in nature, turning the Pennsylvania landscape into a vibrant canvas. Sean Irwin reimagines everyday materials and patterns, uncovering hidden narratives through intricate sculptures and drawings. Bruce Hoffman finds elegance in discarded objects, creating floral arrangements that celebrate beauty in decay.

Warren Muller’s light sculptures breathe new life into recycled items, imbuing them with playful energy and illumination, while Gerri Spilka’s modern quilts transform ordinary cotton into striking visual stories. Together, these artists demonstrate how brilliance can be discovered in the mundane, encouraging viewers to find inspiration and wonder in the familiar.

Immerse in Timeless Artistry

Each piece of art in the permanent collection has been selected with great care from a diverse pool of submissions by local, national, and international artists, including site-specific commissioned pieces.

One of Our Previous Exhibitions: Material Time

Inspired by climate systems and the ever-changing landscape, the five artists of Material Time evaluate and deconstruct patterns and forms found in nature. Working with materials and processes that are both natural and human, each artist offers ways of being with environments, acting as both witnesses and agents of transformation.

In the wake of altered climate systems and human disruption, Material Time serves as a catalyst for contemplation, urging individuals to consider their relationship with and their role within an ever-changing environment.
