SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: Poetics of the Mundane
DESCRIPTION:Archway Gallery presents Poetics of the Mundane\, featuring new paintings and collages by Silvia PintoSouza and ceramic works and sculptures by guest artist Jeff Forster\, on view May 2–June 4\, 2026. Join the opening reception Saturday\, May 2\, from 5 to 8 p.m.\, with artist talk at 6:30 p.m. \nArchway Gallery artist\, Silvia PintoSouza\, and Department Head of Ceramics at The Glassell School of Art\, Jeff Forster\, are focusing their dual exhibit on the transitory nature of life and the scenes and objects that fire their imagination\, capturing both a sense of permanence and transition through their artistic media. \nThis compelling dual exhibition explores the fleeting nature of everyday life\, transforming ordinary objects and overlooked materials into works that balance permanence and change. PintoSouza elevates familiar subjects through layered\, translucent acrylics\, simplifying form and color to create luminous\, abstract compositions rich with depth and nuance. Working in intimate formats\, she brings precision and quiet intensity to each piece. \nForster reimagines discarded materials—drawing from agricultural and industrial remnants—to create sculptural forms that highlight texture\, process\, and reinvention. His environmentally conscious approach reveals beauty in what is often ignored\, offering a powerful reflection on memory\, transformation\, and the poetry found in the everyday.
