Kirby Nunez s is exhibiting in The World’s Smallest Art Gallery* through July 24, 2015. Kirby became an artist slowly and then all at once.   Art was his passion early in life, but by the time he was in high school it began to take a back seat.   He began college at the University of Rhode Island as a Kinesiology major, but soon realized after taking a few art classes, that his passion for art was still there and he wouldn’t be happy doing anything else.   This made him switch from kinesiology and Business to Fine Art and Textiles, and he never looked back.   It didn’t take long for Kirby to start gaining recognition for his art work, and as a junior he was awarded the David Ketner Memorial scholarship for most outstanding junior artist.    Kirby, now a senior at the university, makes art with subject matter that reflects both social and personal issues that are important to him.   His work sometimes deals with the da...

It continues to thrive today as exemplified by artists utilizing algorithms and expressing them through visual means. When art and math are used in conjunction, moments of true interdisciplinary coordination occur . This national juried exhibition at Hera Gallery seeks to exhibit a varied perspective on contemporary views of geometry including, but NOT limited to, pattern (whether in data or aesthetic), fractals, string theory, along with the formal vocabulary of geometry from ...
