CAMARILLO, Calif.--Studio Channel Islands Art Center (SCIART) invites the public to attend the opening of E Pluribus Unum: Out of many, one, an exhibition that explores our differences and our commonalities, 4 to 6 p.m., April 2, at 2222 E. Ventura Blvd., Camarillo. Through Richard Barnett’s large oil paintings of crowds depicting up to 500 people in one work to Daggi Wallace’s small intimate pastel portraits and Kerstin Zilm’s prose and collected voices, the viewer is invited to contemplate their own place among each other and in this world. The juxtaposition of Barnett’s stylized broad brushstrokes on canvas with Wallace’s finely detailed works on paper is underscored by Zilm’s emotionally charged narrative text. All three artists embody our differences with their mediums, styles and techniques yet speak to the common ground we all share, our emotions of fear and anger, joy and love, frustration and rage. Attendees will have the chance to add their own voices by helping to write a community poem or creating a protest slogan for what matters most to them. Born and raised in Berlin, Germany, Wallace is a self-taught award-winning painter specializing in contemporary figurative realism and portraiture. She has reached the level of Eminent Pastelist of the International Association of Pastel Societies and Master Pastelist of the Pastel Society of America as well as Signature Membership in several pastel societies. Inspired by her dual cultural life she mixes realism with abstraction and personal narrative with social and political undercurrents. Barnett, a Marine who served overseas and returned as an artist with a unique perspective, studied painting and fine art at Roanoke College in Salem Virginia, and the School of Visual Arts in New York City. His work has been shown in galleries in Maine, Virginia and California. As a painter, Barnett strives to highlight the drama in the mundane and search for moments that might be missed or too easily forgotten. German-born Zilm is an award-winning journalist and independent producer known for her talented crafting of stories for German and U.S. media. Prior to creating her own company, Zilm worked in Germany as a journalist and broadcast reporter which brought her to California as a foreign correspondent for German Public Radio. In 2008 she founded her company, Soundslikerstin, and in 2019 she published Farwell and New Beginnings: Poetry and Short Stories.
