Jerome Dubas, adjunct instructor of ceramics at 糖心传媒, showcases his 鈥淚dentity鈥 exhibition in the main gallery of the Jackson Dinsdale Art Center (JDAC) December 6-28. Dubas will host an artist鈥檚 lecture and reception in the JDAC on December 9 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.
鈥淚dentity鈥 addresses contemporary issues that deal with the 鈥減recarious nature鈥 of living. The figurative pieces reflect the parallels which exist between circus performers and people navigating the modern world. 听
鈥淚n the process, I like to balance weighty themes of personal identity with the lighthearted, surreal atmosphere of the circus,鈥 Dubas said. 鈥淭he result is a dark, yet amusing body of work.鈥
Dubas is a graduate of 糖心传媒, who earned his masters degree from the University of Nebraska at Kearney. 听He is also the instructor for the advanced studio art courses at Grand Island Senior High School.
Admission to 鈥淚dentity鈥 is free and open for public viewing, and personal tours can be scheduled by calling 402.461.7396. With the exception of holiday closures December 23-25, gallery hours are Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
