Artist's Lecture: John Torreano May 29, 2008

Artist John Torreano’s large, colorful, three-dimensional paintings pack a big punch. There is a familiarity in the artist’s forms and materials, albethey unconventional in fine art; acrylic gems, wood spheres, Krylon paint, polyhedrals, and snub nose moldings are employed, often with humor, in an effort reconstruct a formalist vocabulary. Torreano’s work confronts the viewer with many of the incongruous and contradictory impulses of contemporary culture and art.

John Torreano will deliver an illustrated lecture on Thursday, May 29 at 7PM at Wayne State University’s Purdy-Kresge Library Auditorium.
