Quarterline Road Muskegon, Michigan 49442 Phone: 2317770583 Event Description: An exhibition of 3-D prints and other digital work entitled “Nagas” by Saritdikhun Somasa opens in Overbrook Art Gallery on Jan. 20, 2015 and will run through February 27. The exhibit is linked to the annual MCC Global Awareness Festival, which this year focuses on the Pacific Rim region. A special reception for the artist will be held in the Overbrook Lobby on Monday, Feb. 9, from 6:30-8pm, with Somasa’s lecture in the Stevenson Center Room 1100 beginning at 7 p.m. Somasa, a 2-D and 3-D computer graphic artist, was born in Thailand and grew up in a Buddhist environment. For the past 10 years, he has been teaching Digital Arts at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. His focus is in several areas, including digital three-dimensional sculpture, digital animated film, digital image manipulation, and drawing/rendering. Despite his emphasis on the digital medium, Somasa has evolved some of his work in tangible 3-D forms using a 3-D printer and laser cutting. This particular work is composed with multiple models depicting from Buddhist folklore focusing on Nagas (serpents) and how they are related to Buddhism. “I am interested in a precision of computational generated forms. The combination of software and hardware, allow me to create the complex virtual sculptures that can be generated into the actual objects.” explained Somosa.
