The current exhibit at 黑料网 Wesleyan鈥檚 Gallery, 鈥淩eality in RGB,鈥� is presented by a locally based artist: Jeroen聽Nelemans鈥� office is just around the corner from The Gallery at 黑料网. Nelemans聽is an assistant professor of Graphic Design at the university.
A visual artist who works in a variety of media, including print and video,聽Nelemans鈥� work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. His exhibit began Feb. 27.
鈥淩eality in RGB鈥澛爀xplores digital media by showcasing the inner workings behind聽the聽screen. It聽displays the building blocks聽of an image by聽exposing聽the聽RGB sub-pixels聽and creating graphic illusions. RGB (red, green and blue) represent the colors used on a digital display screen.聽Nelemans聽experiments聽with聽multiple聽layers to create distortion in something that would otherwise be seen as normal.聽The digital world, with its RGB component, is very much a聽reality in his art.
Nelemans鈥� work has been shown at institutions including the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, the Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia, the De la Cruz Collection Contemporary Space in Miami, the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia, the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art in Greece, and the Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts in Grand Rapids.
