A new season of "Art on View" debuts this week at the Poway Center for Performing Arts. Each September through June the center’s spacious lobby walls double as a public art gallery, highlighting a range of themes and mediums through rotating art exhibits available for viewing Tuesday through Saturday.
“Immersive Places” opens on Wednesday (hours below), with works that “challenge you to trust and test your own comfortable zones, while immersing your own imaginations and allowing you to be carried back to your roots.”
San Diego artists Kerry Riché and Robin Burgin collaborated on the exhibit. Riché specializes in abstract art and Burgin is a somatic/sensorimotor artist practitioner.
“Our art is reminiscent of each other, as we both paint from our felt sense, our environments and our lived experiences,” said Burgin.
Riché said they hope people viewing the exhibit find themselves reflecting on their lives, ultimately finding peace from familiar spaces they have experienced.
Burgin noted that experiences such as trauma or stress can create “sensory imprints” on the body that impacts how people interact with each other and the world around them.
“It is fascinating how we can be looking at the same piece or art and have two very different experiences,” Burgin said. “Our unique perceptions are a testament and tribute to the who we are and of the places/experiences that have been imprinted within.”
The art exhibit is free; hours may change due to performances:
Tuesday through Thursday - 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Friday & Saturday - 1 to 6 p.m.
Parking passes are required on weekdays and may be picked up in the main office in the PCPA lobby. For more information, visit Art on View or call 858-668-4693.
