Chromatopia
Featured in the Lawton Gallery in Theater Hall on campus, Chromatopia features current work of multi-media artist Michael Velliquette from Madison.
These brightly colored pieces are made mainly of paper, and are embellished with mirrors. Viewers relate the work to many different cultural movements, from Columbian to Native American to Asian art. Although this was not Michael’s intention, he believes it enforces the pieces’ spiritual content. The entire show was inspired by his visit to a studio that focuses on the alchemy of words and phrases, transforming them into symbols.
Visit the Lawton Gallery and let Michael Velliquette’s work bring you to his imaginary world ruled by the spirituality of color.
