Central Piedmont’s Itala Flores Transforms Dove Gallery Into High Fashion World
Central Piedmont Community College student and Venezuelan artist Itala Flores brings a black tie affair to the Dove gallery as it transforms into a world of high class fashion with her Relexions’ art show. The exhibit is open now, and the reception will be held November 15 at 5 p.m. in Dove Gallery.
Flores uses her meticulous sense of design and creative use of materials to create formal dresses made from recycled materials such as; paper plates and discarded theater tickets. This new exhibition by Flores showcases the best of her sculptural and fashionista abilities.
Where others see refuse Flores see a world full of creative possibilities. In Flores’ hands small bits of discarded paper or forgotten fliers and photographs take on a new life and purpose. No longer scraps, they become part of a larger element, playing a role in the formation of upscale evening dresses.
Flores’ exhibition demonstrates that you do not need the finest, or most expensive materials to create art. Instead through a keen eye and intricate assemblage practices, Flores creates art from readily available materials.
