The California State University, Stanislaus College of the Arts, Department of Art, will feature an exhibition of the work of James Deitz through February 5, in the University Art Gallery. The Gallery is open Monday through Friday from noon to 4 p.m., Thursday 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturday noon to 4 p.m.
The recent work of James Deitz occupies an imaginative, constantly shifting terrain synthesizing memory and observed images in a style that preserves the particularities of experience even as it transforms them into iconic forms stripped to their essentials. The originality of Deitz’s technique lies in his effort to reveal the formal elegance of phenomena not by blurring them, but by bringing their irreversible physicality into sharp focus. In developing this unique approach, he has embraced influences as diverse as Morandi, Tamayo, Hopper, Guston, and Rothenberg.
All University Art Gallery events are free, open to the public, and wheelchair accessible. For more information, contact the University Art Gallery at (209) 667-3186 or art_gallery@csustan.edu.
