OPERA GALLERY

Art imitates life, and never more so than in Opera Gallery’s hyperrealistic art showcase running from May 5 to 21, featuring works by Serbian-American artist Marc Sijan and Italian artist Roberto Bernardi. Sijan communicates a deep sense of humanism through his life-like creations made from resin, oil paint and varnish. Bernardi is a photorealistic painter who transforms photographs to paintings using traditional oil-on-canvas techniques, and whose style brings to mind “trompe l’oeil” (French for “to deceive the eye”).
