Castellani Art Museum - Biological Regionalism: Niagara River, Western New York by Alberto Rey
April 20, 2023 - February 25, 2024
Biological Regionalism: Niagara River, Western New York by Alberto Rey explores the complexities of the Niagara River's past and present. For this large-scale installation in the CAM's Main Gallery, Rey turns his attention to the Niagara River, Falls, and the unique attributes of the Niagara Gorge. Each bespoke painting explores facets of the river's rich history. This exhibition, the 12th in his Biological Regionalism series, builds on past, present, and future. His work is guided through what he has termed, "a devotional painting approach."
