PO‘IPU — The opening reception for “Roadtrip” at Galerie 103 will be from 7 to 9 p.m. today in Kukui‘ula Village.
Kaua‘i’s multimedia artist Wayne Zebzda brings home his installation this month with the exhibit. Roadtrip was formerly exhibited at The Contemporary Museum Honolulu Biennial 2008 and recently returned from a solo show at The Maui Arts & Cultural Center.
The installation series is a continually evolving group of works created using discarded traffic signs, roadside bumpers, reflective glass, even an old gray suit, and everything else Zebzda comes across in his roadside wanderings. Using drawing, sculpture, video, photography, sound and most especially with humor and intelligence, a news release says. Zebzda continues his never-ending dialogue with the road and with life.
“My art is produced from the random things in everyday life,” Zebzda said. “Sometimes it’s just a phrase uttered by a stranger or a jingle from TV, or it could be a sign on the side of the road or the color of the sky. Many times, a found object finds its way to my studio like a lost puppy. I usually don’t know what it’s going to become but there is an initial attraction to it so I’ll keep it around, feeding it while it feeds me in ways I’m not quite sure of. I wait for it to howl and run off on its own determined direction, leading me along on an adventure. Of course, I chase it.”
