"An Evening with John Zabrucky", artist of Industrial Alchemy January 7, 2010

Join us Thursday, January 7th from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. for “An Evening with John Zabrucky.” He will present a power point lecture that demystifies the complex process behind his artistic technique. The lecture is $5 and free for members of Oceanside Museum of Art.

Over the past two decades John Zabrucky has been creating a series of flat relief works that celebrate the mysteries of technology. The hyper-detailed reliefs produced with industrial techniques are at the intersection of art and science suggesting both the beauty and terror of life in a high-tech world. Underlying the shinny surface of each machine-age altarpiece lies Zabrucky’s chilling dystopian vision of the machine which overtakes its creator. He uses a process so time consuming, technical and tedious that the resulting art can only be called Industrial Alchemy.
