Artist Domenick Naccarato uses pieces of wood, hardware, wire, twine and a few nails in his art work. Then he applies non-traditional finishes of wood stains, house paint, joint compound and roofing tar.

Domenick Naccarato, “Remnants,” continues through Oct. 31, Rotunda Gallery, Bethlehem City Hall, 10 E. Church St., Bethlehem. The solo exhibit is presented by the Bethlehem Fine Arts Commission. The artist’s reception was Oct. 9.

The Lower Macungie resident received a BFA from The College of New Jersey. He’s had exhibitions at Muhlenberg College, Kemerer Museum, Northampton Community College, and the State Museum, Harrisburg.

Naccarato’s art is minimalist. The compositions are eye-catching. The artist’s use of color, letters with numbers, and wood fixed together with industrial hardware makes an attractive mixed media assemblage.

The 20 works in the Rotunda exhibition, each 12 in. x 5 in., are displayed vertically. A shadow box serves as a frame. The artist takes industrial remnants that might be found behind a shed or in a garage and assembles them into works of fine art. Naccarato hones these salvaged materials and extracts the beauty within.

The collage of mediums in “Remnants” gives the viewer the sense of industrial America. The artist sees beyond the industrial function to capture the aesthetic form.

Rotunda Gallery hours: 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. weekdays. Closed weekends, holidays.
