Opening Reception, May 4, 5-7pm
Delmon Brown Hall IV:
In Del’s own words: “these paintings are a celebration of the spiritual force that gives life to all. It weaves together all things, all places and all time.”
In addition to new paintings from Del’s “Cosmic Fiber” series he will also be premiering new work inspired by the beauty of the Ocean, which includes a massive 5’ x 24’ piece. When asked about the painting Del said, “I set out with the intention to paint trees but I surrendered to the process and I ended up with, go figure, water lilies — and I couldn’t be happier. It’s better than I could have ever planned myself. I find life is a lot like that too. When I quit holding on so tightly to how I think things should be and start swimming with the current instead of against it things are just better in everyway.”
Del is a nationally exhibited artist who attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston after growing up in Virginia Beach. He has over one hundred paintings in private and public collections including a 5’x12’ piece at Sentara Martha Jefferson in Charlottesville, Va.
We couldn’t have planned a better date for the opening of this exhibition — May the fourth, as in “May the fourth be with you.” Star Wars fans will understand the reference and it’s perfect for the opening of Del’s show because in his words “these paintings are a celebration of the spiritual force that gives life to all. It weaves together all things, all places and all time. It is an expression of Gods Love for us — without it we would not exist.”

COCOROSHI:
In this compelling exhibition, acrylic & mixed media paintings serve as a vibrant homage to the rich tapestry of African American female creative genius, weaving through the realms of logos, iconography, and memes—the modern symbols through which our culture processes and digests the complexities of our world. As we navigate the overwhelming currents of our own lives, these artworks offer a sanctuary, inviting us to find solace and inspiration in the ethereal clouds of another creator's imagination. This body of work stands as a testament to the unbroken chain of innovation and resilience, celebrating the enduring spirit and transformative power of African American women's creativity. (Roshi did the wonderful murals in the restrooms in our new building!)
