About this Event
A Certain Slant of Light: Dino Pelliccia, Bruce Pollock, and Stuart Rome
January 7- March 18, 2025
Pearlstein Gallery is pleased to announce A Certain Slant of Light, the first exhibition of 2025. This three-person show features significant works from influential Philadelphia artists: Stuart Rome, Dino Pelliccia, and Bruce Pollock. Although the work on view is wide-ranging in media–sculpture, painting and photography–it shares an interest in natural forms, an investigation into materiality, and a mastery of highly-honed craft. The exhibition spans four decades of process-oriented work from these artists who also share a long standing connection to the Drexel community.
Dino Pelliccia is showing large, new sculptural forms made from solid wood. Both free-standing and mobile, these monumental works are simultaneously dynamic and timeless. Bruce Pollock’s paintings on view are from his intricate Indigo series in shades of blue. These meditative and energetic works feature fractal and geometric patterns inspired by deep observation of nature. Stuart Rome’s compelling works explore vantage, scale, and texture to expand the possibilities of photography. His Oculus series of black and white images are taken from within giant redwoods and sequoias, portals to new perspectives. Each ask where we stand in our relationship to the Natural world and within these patterns might there be a bridge to that understanding.
A Certain Slant of Light contains over fifty works of art by these three artists, balanced throughout the entire gallery space. We invite you to experience this introspective retrospective centered on material craft and organic form.
A companion publication will include an essay by noted art writer and critic, Judith Stein, who has most recently written the book Eye of the Sixties about Dick Belamy.
