Aries Rising + North Mode

The Irvine Fine Arts Center is pleased to announce its first exhibitions of the new year:  Aries Rising and North Node.

Aries Rising is rooted in the generative characteristics of spring and presents a collection of sculptural and two-dimensional artworks made of metal, fiber, and mixed media whose sensibilities reflect an organic source. Featured artists in the exhibition share a curiosity about human perception as it relates to the environment, both natural and manmade, reflected in their manipulation of material and form.

North Node features paintings and mixed media artworks that reflect a sense of wonder, urgency, and speculation regarding rapidly shifting ecological and social patterns. Each exhibiting artist works to draw viewers’ attention to micro and macro shifts that affect the order of our lives and the habitats we knowingly and unknowingly affect.
