Central Piedmont Community College Bill and Patty Gorelick Galleries will host a traveling exhibition ‘Fragments’ featuring the works of local artist, Tina Alberni

WHAT: The Bill and Patty Gorelick Galleries will travel a special exhibition of Tina Alberni’s artwork between Central, Cato and Levine Campuses for the 2024 academic year.

Alberni derives this series of work from impact of climate change and the harm created by aspects of technological development and progress. With a deep belief that all living things possess and intrinsic value and not simply human beings, Alberni challenges the viewer to consider topics such as how natural disasters, war and social disparity contribute to the endangerment and physical displacement of all living things.

Alberni uses her new exhibition ‘Fragments’ to illustrate the narrative of fragmented lives and irreversible damage both visually and physically. In contrast to the hopeless narrative of destruction, Alberni seeks to use her artwork to create a positive, hopeful spirit for the future. Alberni assembles objects and layers in her work in a brightly colored, harmonious fashion, which invites the viewer in for a deeper contemplation of each composition.

Alberni’s work will be on display at Central Piedmont for 2024 and will be part of the Gorelick Gallery’s traveling artwork series.
