Opening Reception, Saturday, October 6, 2:00 pm, on view October 2-30, Gallery: The medium of watercolor allows Robert Hsiung to freeze-frame his life’s special moments, capturing what he sees and feels with abandon and control, without affectation and commentaries. His poems take on the unseen and the unvoiced beyond the paintings, and engage with them in an ever-evolving dialogue across visual and verbal boundaries. This exhibition is a sample from the larger collection in his book titled Looking Up: Poems and Paintings.

All proceeds from sales in this show will be donated to Catholic Relief Services to help the world’s neediest.

On view October 2-30, Main Hall: These illustrations were sketched from the artist’s imagination and brought to life by digitally rendering them in Adobe Illustrator in a style that is heavily influenced by the storytelling of picture books and a love of animation. The environment and friendship between human and non-human animals are two recurring themes in Chris Censullo’s work. Recently, his battle with cancer has inspired some of the illustrations. He has written and illustrated two picture books, The Boy with the Big, Blue Hair (2013) and Tin Can (2015). He is a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators.
