Cal Poly Pomona's W. Keith and Janet Kellogg University Art Gallery is presenting "Color & Quirk," an exhibition running from August 25 to November 18, 2025, curated by Michele Cairella Fillmore. The show features unconventional, colorful artists who avoid white, black, and gray, including Megan Geckler, known for immersive flagging tape installations like "You can never quarantine the past," Colin Roberts, who creates plexiglass sculptures inspired by glass architecture, and Seda Saar, whose work explores perception, light, and color through interior architecture and themed entertainment design.
This exhibition matters because it highlights a growing trend in contemporary art toward vibrant, non-traditional materials and immersive environments, challenging conventional notions of color and form. By spotlighting artists who prioritize sensory experience and innovation over muted palettes, "Color & Quirk" offers a fresh perspective on how art can transform spaces and engage viewers, while also showcasing the diverse practices of artists connected to Southern California's art scene.
