When at the preview party seeing the installation of the diverse work put together by gallery director Tony Iadicicco, is not only exciting but I greatly enjoyed a new perspective. Seeing my work alone quite in the gallery with Harold’s, Paul and Jason’s work- for the fist time i saw my work look feminine. It spoke different softer but still very direct language. It was a night full of excitement, energy, art, as well as interesting conversation and new friendships made. Metal sculpture, contemporary, AbstractMetal Sculpture, Abstract, Contemporary, Abstract expression, Re- cycled materialAbstract expression, Abstract, Contemporary, Modern, Sculpture, Metal,

The artist’s reception will be held 12-2 p.m., November 16 in the gallery, located on the second floor of Mary Dooley College Center on the Elms College campus.

“I used an eclectic approach to abstract minimalism,” Vara said. “This work pushes the scope of dimension, and the finished pieces offer a visual smorgasbord that is as endless as my interests. Though metal and paint, I encompass the function and aesthetics of sculpture, to entice and challenge personal vibrations in a stimulating and fun manner.”

During the past 30 years, Vara’s work has won numerous awards and has been commissioned by a wide variety of museums, corporate, individual, and municipal clients.

Display will include newly completed works of jewelry, wall hangings and sculpture.
The exhibit will be on display 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. daily. The Borgia Gallery is located on the second floor of the Mary Dooley College Center on the Elms College campus.

Opening Night for Black and White


For this artist deliberate investigation of the subject Black and White is not one simple thing about color. Black and White becomes a forum of investigation far reaching, is it day or night, positive or negative, life or death, race, balance, good or evil, void of color. Color can be far reaching; touching on tradition, upbringing, idealism, socialism, world context, there is no one nature of Black and white. So an art show could be endlessly diverse in conversation and visual stimulation.

Monochrome color and black and white is what the show displayed except for the piece Interconnected that had raw red on it. The controversial pieces, B&W News Project is a collection of 3 TV pictures in monochrome blue, red, yellow, of the earlier style with drawings as the picture. The pieces in depth had much to say, and where more than interesting interpretation on world events. The quality and expertise of Tom O’Brien’s, Storm Child was evident and won first place. The pieces seemed grouped in similarity and the show was packed with pieces.
