Oakton Exhibition Features Works by Paul Sierra

An exhibition showcasing the work of Cuban-born artist Paul Sierra is scheduled at the Koehnline Museum of Art at Oakton Community College, 1600 E. Golf Road, Des Plaines, starting Thursday, Sept. 4.

Paul Sierra: Wrecked features Sierra’s recent paintings of violent car accidents, each framed in luminous landscapes absent of human figures. Sierra’s Latin roots are artistically and emotionally intertwined with influences from North American art and culture. He perceives art as a tool to transform the chaos of his life as an immigrant into a positive vision.

The public is invited to a free reception with refreshments, 5 – 8 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 4. This free exhibit runs through Friday, Oct. 17.

The Koehnline Museum of Art is open 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. Saturday. For more details, call Nathan Harpaz at 847-635-2633 or visit www.oakton.edu/museum.
