Experience a vibrant and immersive journey at the Opening Reception of "Layers of Life" on January 25, 2024. This solo exhibition showcases the stunning hand-cut fine art by the acclaimed artist-in-residence of the Galleries at Kean, Ricardo Roig. The event takes place at the prestigious Karl and Helen Burger Gallery, located in the Center for Academic Success at Kean University - Main Campus in Union, New Jersey.
Ricardo Roig has harnessed his unique hand-cut fine art technique during his time at Kean University, resulting in the mesmerizing Layers of Life collection. This exhibition not only unveils Roig's artistic process but also offers a captivating glimpse into his personal philosophy. With an unwavering positive outlook, Roig channels his energy into his magnificent creations, leaving a profound impact on viewers.
Roig's artistic process involves working with multiple layers, reminiscent of a painter's brushstrokes. Utilizing an exacto knife, he meticulously cuts intricate shapes out of paper, one layer at a time. He then blends his own vibrant paint colors and applies them through a screen printing process, transcending the confines of traditional art forms.
Layers of Life showcases Roig's latest evolution as an artist, as he delves into his passion for oil paints. Within the exhibition, two monumental works known as "portals" transport viewers into Roig's world of love, life, beauty, and balance.
Don't miss this exceptional opportunity to witness Ricardo Roig's latest body of work. The Opening Reception of "Layers of Life" will take place on Thursday, January 25, 2024, from 5-8 PM at the Karl and Helen Burger Gallery. Admission is free, allowing art enthusiasts of all backgrounds to bask in the beauty and depth of Roig's extraordinary creations.
