‘Dual Visions’ exhibit at Performing Arts Center
The Springboro Performing Arts Center’s featured artist for December is Dr. Hyacinth Paul.
Her show, “Dual Visions,” transcends the conventional boundaries of artistic expression, offering a unique opportunity to witness the artist’s creative evolution and ongoing exploration of the rich tapestry of the human experience. The show is free and open to the public. The exhibit runs through Dec. 27.
A reception and art presentation is set for 6-8 p.m. Thursday,.
Paul is a retired scientist and professor who started her art career later in life. Her works are both abstract and realistic; mostly done in oils, acrylics and mixed media. Because she believes color sparks synesthesia and involuntarily evokes feelings of joy, her works are very colorful. Some paintings are done in the old masters’ technique, her abstract art works are opinions and thoughts on colorful canvas and mixed media work is done in fiber and textiles from India.
The Gallery is located in the Performing Arts Center, 115 Wright Station Way. Exhibits change monthly. Gallery hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday or by appointment by calling 937-748-5781. The exhibit runs through Dec. 27.
