IN SEARCH OF SHADOWS: JAMES HUBBELL SCULPTURE
James Hubbell’s wide-ranging practice – public sculpture, architecture, stained-glass, sculpture, mosaic, painting, drawing and poetry – has sought to express his deep reverence for nature, a long-standing and primary source of inspiration for his art. His passion and innovation, and his consistently visually arresting work that evokes and engages with the mystery and beauty of our natural environment, has made Hubbell a leading artist of his generation and a San Diego treasure.
Oceanside Museum of Art is proud to present the first museum exhibition devoted to Hubbell’s extensive sculptural oeuvre. Featuring over 30 sculptures from the past 50 years of his career, In Search of Shadows explores Hubbell’s mastery of a diverse range of media including bronze, wood, glass and stone, highlighting the evolution of his nature-inspired sculptural style and the reoccurring threads that connect the work over the past five decades. A selection of detail photographs of select sculptures taken by John Durant will be on view encouraging a deeper look at the formal qualities of Hubbell’s abstract sculpture. Also featured will be a small display of architectural models and drawings that recognize the inseparable synergy between his sculpture and architecture. This exhibition is sponsored by Rudy and Elizabeth Van Hunnick. In Search of Shadows: James Hubbell Sculpture will be on view through June 2, 2013.

SYNESTHESIA: MANIFESTATIONS OF ENERGY
Paintings by Ellen Salk and Sound by Christopher Adler
Pulsating with energy and tension, Ellen Salk’s abstract paintings reference her interest in science, elemental forms, entropy, Minimalism and Abstract Expressionism. In collaboration with experimental sound artist Christopher Adler, Salk has designed an immersive installation that explores the vibrational quality of her images. Designed in response to Salk’s work, Adler’s music heightens the viewer’s senses eliciting a meditative and spiritual experience.Synesthesia: Manifestations of Energy will be on view through May 5, 2013.
