Preview Reception November 14th 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. Industrial Alchemy: John Zabrucky
$10, OMA members complimentary
John Zabrucky’s flat 3-dimensional relief works are born from
solid billet and cast aluminum. Hundreds of precise and interlocking
carvings are assembled, polychromed and “mummified”
under glazing. They capture the spiritual alchemy of ordinary, functional,
industrial age technology such as stereo speakers, an automobile
engine or the humble TV cable box. He uses a process so time consuming,
technical and tedious that the resulting art can only be called
Industrial Alchemy.
