Reni Gower and Kate Santucci Exhibit
2025-05-19 | Galleries at Sinclair College, 444 W. Third St., Bldg. 13, Dayton, OH, 45402
The Sinclair Community College Art Department is pleased to present “GEOmatrix: a Perfect Proof” by Reni Gower in the Burnell R. Roberts Triangle Gallery and “Waxing On” by Kate Santucci in the Works on Paper Gallery. Gower’s “GEOmatrix: a Perfect Proof” recognizes geometric perfection as the matrix of humanity and the blueprint of the cosmos. Large hand-cut papercuts, stencil-masked pulp paintings, and machine cut vinyl decals are imbued with repetitive, geometric pattens. These tessellations, similar to decoration across many cultures, offer a calming, luminous, and contemplative respite from these unprecedented times. Working with colored beeswax and resin layered with pigments and oil paint, Santucci reveals and obscures symbols and images formed through drawing, mark making and hand-cut stencils. The multi-layered encaustic works exhibited in “Waxing On” explore themes such as communication, time, place, and the perception of the way things change, both in the short and long term. There will be a virtual artist talk via Zoom on Friday, May 23, 2025, at 12pm. Visit www.sinclair.edu/artgalleries for details. The exhibitions will be on display from May 19–June 23, 2025. Galleries are located on the fourth floor of building 13 (located at West Fifth and Perry Streets). The galleries are free and open to the public from 8am–6pm Monday–Friday and 9am–12pm Saturdays.
