Opening Reception: Fragmented Horizons Exhibition with Rob Strati & Chris Hayman
Meet the artists behind Fragmented Horizons at the exhibition’s opening reception on Friday, September 25 from 5–7 PM at Studio Shop Gallery in Burlingame.
Strati’s work offers a particularly compelling story, as the series began when his wife accidentally broke a plate from his late mother-in-law. Instead of discarding the broken fragments, Strati kept them, eventually working to carefully match his ink drawings to the original patterns of each plate before extending the imagery onto the paper below. The resulting scenes appear to emerge from the fragments themselves, creating an unexpected dialogue between the original object and the new work.
The result is part sculpture, part drawing and part storytelling—and the process is fascinating to see up close.
Working from radically different materials and processes, Strati and Hayman arrive at a shared exploration of landscape, memory and perception. Strati begins with tangible fragments that have survived from the past, while Hayman, working primarily in oil on canvas, distills the experience of nature into color, movement, space and gesture.
For a local art-focused outing, Fragmented Horizons offers a chance to discover an unusual contemporary art practice right here on the Peninsula while meeting the artist behind the work.
