The Leonard Pearlstein Gallery at Drexel University will host Sum of Parts from August 6th to Friday, September 28th, 2012. The exhibition will include work by Henry Bermudez and new drawings by Michelle Marcuse. The working artists live in Philadelphia; letting their past experiences and cultures influence their artwork. Pearlstein Gallery invites the public to the opening reception on Thursday, September 27th, 2012 from 5-7 pm.

Henry Bermudez attended art school in both Venezuela and Mexico. He paints rich dream imagery that originates from the intersection of pre-Columbian, Christian and ancient myths, religions and legends. His visits to the Amazon as a child and adult still inform his work which includes a complex jungle culture within a living primordial world.

Michelle Marcuse grew up in South Africa and has been influenced by the blend of incredible and diverse dichotomies of the Cape. She translates the accumulation of past dreams into mythical environments. Although the transcendental nature of her dream did not reveal detailed imagery, Marcuse’s worlds embody extracts from a distant level of otherworldly reality.
