Ancient Reflections
in Contemporary Art

An art exhibition that juxtaposes contemporary paintings and sculpture against a background of 18th Dynasty Egyptian artifacts will be viewed on May 7 and 8, 2021. “Primary colors used throughout antiquity is the thread that binds contemporary art with antiquity,” according to the exhibition’s curator Darrick Lackey with FineArtConsulting.
Although artists of antiquity employed primary colors to convey status, power, and celestial bodies, they laid the foundation for contemporary artists to use similar colors as a means for facilitating an understanding of contemporary culture.
The two-day exhibition is hosted by the Museum of Ancient Wonders on, Friday, May 7th, and Saturday, May 8th at 69028-B E Palm Canyon Dr., HWY 111 at Date Palm Drive next to Big Lots in Cathedral City, CA 92234. Admission is free during the 6:00 p m. to 8:00 p.m. exhibition period. DONATIONS TO MoAW ARE WELCOME.

Paul Fuguet,

and Carol Listenberger
