John Aquilino at Artists & Makers

The “Metropolis” series is a new body of work by DMV artist John Aquilino that combines his "interest in cityscapes with my past professional experience as a 3D digital artist. For this series, I’m creating virtual urban scenes working with a computer software program. The design process is enabling me to use technology to express my passion for the urban landscape and to continue exploring the relationships among space, shapes, light, and color."


Opening reception: Friday, August 4, 6 - 9 p.m.
