Spring Artist Lecture Series:
Deborah Oropallo
Saturday, January 28, 4pm

In paintings and prints, Deborah Oropallo has forged inventive bodies of work which engage and challenge the viewer in reading the form and content. Fracturing or merging images, Oropallo renders relationships of power and position which point to societal norms and subtexts.

$10 general admission, free for BAC members and students.

Spring Artist Lecture Series:
Tom Holland
Saturday, March 17, 4pm

An artist of California expansiveness, Tom Holland gives depth, light, and vibrancy to painted surface. Taking aluminum or fiberglass, Holland, whether in painting up against the wall or forming a free-standing object, is foremost a colorist. He pulls from pigment a luminousity and gives voice to a concert of color.

Free to Berkeley Art Center artist-level members, $10 suggested contribution for non-members.
RSVPs are strongly encouraged by calling 510.644.6893 or e-mail annw [at] berkeleyartcenter.org

Spring Artist Lecture Series:
David Best
Saturday, April 28, 4pm

From sculpture using ceramic and found objects, to elaborate and fantastic art cars, David Best has spun structure into spectacular shrines of ultimate ephemeral existence. And all the while his canny eye has collaged on an enormous scale, from the wall into space into architecture. Weaving tapestry or alter, David Best creates a vision beyond our experience.

Free to Berkeley Art Center artist-level members, $10 suggested contribution for non-members.

Spring Artist Lecture Series:
Jim Morphesis
Saturday, June 23, 4pm

In works of monumental presence and passion, Jim Morphesis gives paint free reign to move from allegory to insistent surface. An artist who has layers of cultural influence, geographical adaptation, and temporal persistence, Morphesis creates works which grab and hold the viewer in an unflinching examination of mortality.

$10 general admission, free for BAC members and students.
