"Enamel on Copper Paintings of Ted DeGrazia" - Fired enamels are glass-based pigments that melt and fuse to metal when heated to high temperatures. Between 1972 and 1974, Ted DeGrazia’s focus on this technique led to the creation of hundreds of enameled copper and silver objects including jewelry, sculpture, and enamel on copper paintings. The 1975 book DeGrazia Creates Enamels reproduced selected images from thirteen limited edition enamel on copper painting series. This exhibit features full and partial editions of those paintings along with a selection of DeGrazia’s enameled jewelry, sculpture, and additional individual paintings. An opening reception will be held from 5- 7 pm on January 30, with the exhibit running until Aug. 15, 2015.
