Alan Mazzetti Exhibit on Display at Cañada College Gallery

A reception with the San Francisco artist will be held Sept. 15 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The Canada College Art Gallery begins the fall 2011 season with the presentation of Alan Mazzetti: Particles, a series of abstract acrylic paintings. The exhibit is open through Thursday, Sept. 29. An artist's reception will be held on Thursday, Sept. 15 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the college gallery.

San Francisco artist Alan Mazzetti is a Graphic artist turned painter. His highly textural and colorful nonrepresentational paintings bring to mind the opposites of the macro and the micro: from planets hurling through space to atoms splitting.   "Flatness becomes dimensional, objects are at rest and in motion, and may be seen as both cosmic and molecular in nature," Mazzetti says about his work. Mazzetti has exhibited nationally and locally for the last decade. He is represented by galleries in Southern and Northern California, and in Tucson, Arizona.

Canada College Art Gallery is geared toward an interdisciplinary interpretation of art and culture, serving the public of San Mateo County as well as the college community. Exhibition and gallery events are free and open to the public.
