Adrian, MI – Adrian College’s Hickman Gallery will soon open the exhibition, Carlos Tobar: Visual Narratives. This will showcase the retired graphic designer and commercial offset printer’s art from Monday August 5th through September 18. The exhibit is free and open to the public.
Tobar, a resident of Adrian since 1985, notes he is largely a self-taught artist who has developed a unique and expressive style through explorations in various media including stone, oils, mosaic, and pen and ink. Tobar said his artistic journey began in his native Ecuador. His work is characterized by its use of exaggeration, vibrant color, and deep emotion, often inspired by simple observations of daily life, memories from a childhood spent in South America, and expressive reactions to current events.
The Hickman Gallery, at Adrian College, is open Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., or by appointment.
