Update: This post contains updated dates.
Artist Heather Levy’s Rocket Science Series will be on exhibit at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford from October 12th to November 16th, 2007. There will be an artist’s talk / opening reception Friday, Oct. 12, 2007 at 12:00 p.m.
The inspiration for the works in the series comes from formulas used in rocket science. Her paintings use depth, motion, and color to bridge the gap between physics and art. I contacted Heather and asked her a few questions:
Did you have a connection to Bradford prior to your exhibit?
In 2004 I volunteered to help paint a mural in Washington, DC, where I had the good fortune to work under the guidance of Master Painter Prof. Kong Ho, Associate Professor of Art & Program and Director of Communication & the Arts Division at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford. Professor Ho and I maintained a friendship and he alerted me to the possible opportunity of showing my work at UPB. I presented a portfolio for their consideration and was accepted!
What is the inspiration for your art?
My Art in general is inspired by life, the beauty of nature, the complexity of humanity. Each work contains a theory, notion, or hypothesis, either consciously or subconsciously.
I consider myself a philosopher writing with my brush. I put a capital “A” on Art and worship it.
What is was the inspiration for the Rocket Science series?
The inspiration for my Rocket Science Series was born from the phrase, “It’s not rocket science”. I wanted to be able to point to my work and say, “Well, this is Rocket Science”.
I researched actual Rocket Science formulas and then translated them into paintings.
