New Show Opening – John R.G. Roth: Mobile Applications

John Roth takes the problem of being on the move and makes humorous and striking art objects with it.  These sculptures are organic and biomorphic shapes but are made of material that we associate with hard-edged geometry. Roth painstakingly builds forms of Styrofoam or other materials and then covers the forms with gleaming discs of steel. The resulting skin has the reminiscence of fish scales–the sculpture Cretaceous Mode has more than 10,000 scales. 

John Roth is a professor of art at Old Dominion University in Norfolk. His work has been seen in exhibitions around the country including Contemporary Art Workshop in Chicago, and the Contemporary Art Center of Virginia.  He is currently represented by Mayer Fine Art Gallery

More about the exhibition

John will give a gallery talk at 5pm immediately preceding First Friday activities.
