Woodbridge, New Jersey– The Barron Arts Center presents Beauty
Reconstructed: The Art of Marcel Truppa. The exhibit runs June 8-25, 2013.
Marcel Truppa is an experimental artist who works in
collage, watercolors and oils at his Rahway, NJ studio; his hometown since the
1930’s. Known mostly for his found object assemblage--pieces that recall
the great masters of art history--Truppa received his formal training at the
Pratt Institute in NYC and is also a graduate of The Newark School of Fine
& Industrial Art in New Jersey. In addition to his private works, he
enjoyed a long career of Graphic Design & Art Direction in NYC.
His collages present a unification of modern design and
traditional art elements; mostly reconfigured masterworks with found objects
embellishments. Inspired by our
“throw-away culture,” Truppa assembles a perfect blend of the old & new.
Influenced by Cornell, Braque, Schwitters, Man Ray & the Renaissance
School, Truppa retrieves, sorts and reconstructs “beauty” from manipulated pieces
of tradition & modern culture.
Truppa’s Barron Arts Center Show will showcase the artist’s
collages as well as his watercolors and oil works and his most recent bottle
collages.
