The Leonard Pearlstein Gallery of Drexel University's Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts & Design, will present four decades of process-oriented work from influential Philadelphia artists Dino Pelliccia, Bruce Pollock and Stuart Rome, who share a longstanding connection to the Drexel community. The exhibition, "A Certain Slant of Light" will go on display Thursday, Jan. 16 through Tuesday, March 18.

Featuring over 50 works of art, wide-ranging in media - sculpture, painting and photography -the exhibition highlights a shared interest in natural forms, an investigation into materiality and a mastery of highly honed craft.

Dino Pellicciawill show large, new sculptural forms made from solid wood - both free-standing and mobile, these monumental works are simultaneously dynamic and timeless.

Bruce Pollock'spaintings are from his intricate "Indigo" series in shades of blue. These meditative and energetic works feature fractal and geometric patterns inspired by deep observation of nature.

Stuart Rome'scompelling works explore vantage, scale and texture to expand the possibilities of photography. His "Oculus" series of black and white images are taken from within giant redwoods and sequoias, portals to new perspectives.

"Each of these artists ask, 'where do we stand in relation to the natural world - and from this vantage, might we find a bridge to greater understanding?'" said Mark Stockton, co-director of the Pearlstein Gallery and teaching professor in the College.

The artists will be at the Pearlstein Gallery for a reception on Thursday, Jan. 16th from 5-7 p.m. Operating hours are Tuesday through Friday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the URBN Annex (3401 Filbert St.). The exhibition is free and open to the public. To learn more, visit here.
