Exhibitions

Olga Dmytrenko, supplemental professional in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, will be featured in an exhibition titled "Abstravaganza: Themes and Variations" from May 4-25 in the Delaware Division of Arts Mezzanine Gallery in the Carvel State Office Building, 820 North French St., Wilmington. A reception will be held from 5-8 p.m., Friday, May 4, as part of the city's art loop. The solo exhibition will showcase paintings that explore Dmytrenko's combination of visual and musical emotional abstractions, projected in a two dimensional work. In this series of works, the artist uses acrylics, oils, and pastels to depict a certain state of mind and mood that she takes from music and her world. The artist is a member and representative in the United States for the International group of six artists, 3rd Paradigm.
