Rethinking Tradition: Portraits in Glass by Joseph Cavalieri
April 26 - July 20, 2013
Reception: Friday, April 26th 6-8pm


New York-based artist Joseph Cavalieri uses traditional stained glass techniques to create striking portraits of iconic figures such as Jackie O, King Henry III and Bart Simpson. Joseph began working full time with glass in 2009 after a career Art Directing at GQ, People and Good Housekeeping magazines. This professional past led him to develop a strong sense of color, composition and unique concepts. He cleverly leverages this background with traditional glass techniques to bring a fresh twist to this Medieval art form.

The artist will deliver a visual presentation at Massachusetts College of Art and Design on Wednesday, April 24th at 3:00pm at 621 Huntington Ave, Tower Building, Trustees Room, 11th floor. The exhibition, reception and presentation are free and open to the public.
