The University of Arizona Lionel Rombach Gallery is proud to present Noé Badillo's "Classical Forms and the Structures of Language."

There will be an artist talk on July 2, 3 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Badillo’s Bachelor of Fine Arts honors' thesis exhibition is an exploration of language as geometric structure and symbol.   In "Classical Forms and the Structures of Language," Badillo responds to the idea of secret intelligence within current military communications. Influenced by Sol LeWitt, Badillo examines language as code through the use of charts, ciphers, and portraiture in his work. His paintings combine semiotics with classical composition and portraiture to create hidden stories abstracted in the folds of each brush stroke.

The gallery is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is free to the public.

The Joseph Gross and Lionel Rombach Galleries are located on the UA campus between the Museum of Art  and the Center for Creative Photography. Parking is available on Second Street, east of Park Avenue or in the parking garage north of Speedway on Park Avenue.
