Event 2

"Physical Properties" 

The event I attended was at the Axis Gallery in Sacramento, California. The artist whose artwork is shown below is Roma Devanbu. She is from Boston Massachusetts and completed her graduate education in Art and History at Carnegie-Mellon University. She believed a lot of her artwork came from the spiritual reality of things and from history. This particular artwork shown below is inspired from the physical properties of the earth. She enjoyed a lot of the physical matter in science and physics and made some art pieces based on that. The image shown on the right is the mountain glaciers shown in the arctic and she believed this is a type of spiritual ability and science combined in order for there to be water built upon water. One property is of water, which is the ocean and the other property is ice, which is the mountain. The spiritual component of this is that this occurs because of a higher power which allows one property of water to have two different forms, solid and liquid; and then an artistic phenomenon of science to have the two be placed together, one on top of the other. 

"Verging Eyes"

Other pieces of her artwork were very abstract, but very beautiful. Her favorite piece of mine is the one shown on the left. It is listed for $9,000 if she were to ever sell it. This piece is called the "Verging Eyes" and it is said that when one person looks at another then their two eyes, souls, and hearts meet and they become one, which is why this art piece is showing the converging of two “souls” per say and in the middle we see eyes and resemblance of faces to show the convergence of two people.

"Table Spiders"

I would definitely recommend other students to check out this artwork because this artist seems to have many different interests in the field of art. I have attached more pictures of the artwork and sculptures of this exhibition. Mainly this showcase was dealt with the art and history with science and physics incorporated in it as well. I think it’s really cool how modern artists today are able to find inspiration from other fields as well. I look forward to her future pieces of artwork. On the right is another piece of artwork by Roma.
