Marc D’Estout – Gallery Tour with Q&A at Triton Museum
Saturday, March 15
Triton Museum, 1505 Warburton Avenue, Santa Clara
12 p.m.
In-depth talk by Triton exhibiting artist, Marc D’Estout.
Formed in succinct visual dialogues, D’Estout’s minimalist sculptures and drawings often subtly reveal a dark humor or uncanny, subliminal associations. The artist thinks of his current works as sculptural haikus–formalist reductions. His life-long love of automobile and aviation design is also integral to his visual language.
This event will provide the opportunity to meet the artist, learn more about his story, and how that intertwines with his work, while viewing the artist’s current exhibition at the Triton Museum of Art.
The event is free and open to the public (including free parking). Please note, since this is a walking tour with the artist through the gallery, seating will not be provided.
