Parvaneh Bassiri, Marty Luber, Alex Vital
This fashionable and contemporary three-student exhibition was an exciting mix of color, humor, style, and postmodernity. The show combined lush abstract and figurative oil paintings by Parvaneh Bassiri, with eclectic and captivating mixed media light-infused Pop sculptures by Marty Luber, and digitally enhanced and altered photographs by Emeritus Gallery Legend Alex Vital selected from his years of prolific production and ahead-of-the-curve aesthetic and comic sensibilities.
