Bucknell art & art history faculty member Eddy Lopez will unpack the unique process behind creating digital works for his Samek Art Museum Downtown Gallery exhibit “Beautiful War” during a free, public artist’s talk on Tuesday, March 20, at 6 p.m. in Iron Front Cowork Space, 434 Market Street, 3rd Floor, Lewisburg. A reception will follow in the gallery, 416 Market St., where the exhibit will run through June 3.
Lopez uses computer algorithms to transform photographic images of war into seemingly serene landscapes. The prints subvert the horror of war like a mercifully blurry memory that offers instead abstract fields of colors and patterns.
