Restored Opening Reception

Restored - Features Art by JoAnn DePolo

Opening Reception Saturday November 16, 2013, 7:00- 9:00pm

Contemporary artist JoAnn DePolo unveils a unique collection of art created entirely from outdated computers.

DePolo gathered outdated computers, took them apart then reassembled them into functional, interactive wall sculptures and “20th Century Time Pieces” which are hard drives converted into operational desk clocks. Computer components are transformed into wall hangings resembling city centers and metropolitan areas.

DePolo, who is known to integrate nuances of clever witticism within her art, painted the portrait of American business magnet Bill Gates on a ten year old computer monitor and incorporates a laser scanner to scan the globe. “Taking computers apart to create art is fascinating” DePolo says “each computer has parts that differ greatly as years have progressed. Gathering the right parts to create distinct pieces “Restored” new life into what was once thrown away or pushed aside.”

In addition to the computer sculptures, the exhibit features contemporary paintings by DePolo along with original art in wide ranging styles and subjects that include paintings, jewelry, painted glassware, and photography by studio artists and painting class students. DePolo\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s books, Making It As An Artist and 101 Great Ways to Enhance Your Career are also available.

Depolo, whose work hangs in the celebrity homes of Artist Peter Max and Omar Vizquel, to name a few, recently opened her Studios & Gallery in North Olmsted Cherandon Plaza located between Dover Center and Sparky Lane.

“Restored” opening reception is Saturday November 16, 7:00- 9:00pm at JoAnn DePolo Studios & Gallery 26719 Brookpark Ext. North Olmsted, OH 44070. The exhibit runs through December 14. Event is free and open to the public.
