Obsolete Vernacular Opens at the PC Art Gallery

The Porterville College Art Gallery hosted a successful opening reception for Ronald Dzerigian's captivating exhibition, Obsolete Vernacular this week. The event, held on October 3rd from 5 to 7 pm, drew a diverse crowd of students, community members, and art enthusiasts. The gallery was abuzz with excitement as attendees explored Dzerigian's thought-provoking abstract paintings and large-scale sculpture.

Dzerigian, whose work focuses on the reclamation and transformation of discarded artworks, was on hand to discuss his creative process and the inspiration behind his pieces. He discussed the concept behind the exhibition, exploring the idea of reclaiming and transforming discarded artworks.

By breathing new life into these pieces, Dzerigian challenges viewers to reconsider the value of objects and their potential for preservation. His insights into the creative process and the personal stories behind each painting provided valuable context for his work.

The exhibition, which runs through October 24, offers a thought-provoking exploration of the lifecycle of artworks and the shifting value of objects. Dzerigian's paintings and sculpture invite viewers to consider their own relationships with possessions and to appreciate the potential for preservation and reinvention.

The opening reception was a resounding success, providing an opportunity for the community to engage with the artist and his work. The event also highlighted the important role that Porterville College plays in supporting the arts and fostering a vibrant cultural scene in our community.

Obsolete Vernacular is a must-see exhibition for anyone interested in contemporary art and the intersection of art and society. The show will continue to be on display through October 24th.

Visitors can explore Obsolete Vernacular: Works by Ronald Dzerigian during gallery hours which are Monday through Thursday from 12 to 4 pm.
