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.
