Illustrious Decay Opening at Cleveland West Art League

“Illustrious Decay”, represents an investigation of form, biology, and environmental decay.  Arabella Proffer’s painting brings together her interests in microbiology, disease, and the evolution of cells. The paintings explore the particular roles that organisms, medicine, DNA, and hybrids play in response to our current age of genetic revolution.  The sculpture of Jenniffer Omaitz reacts to the macro environments in Proffers’ paintings by creating interior spaces and exposing exterior structures that house decaying parts, miniscapes, and collaging meta realities as if they were a invented surreal landscape.
