Exhibit opens Friday, September 5th with an artist's reception from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. The show runs through September 26th.

Paul Oberst has been making art since childhood but professionally since 1982. Since then he has been exploring his image of the "temple" first covered in abstract and representational marks, then in gallery, museum, university, dance and site-specific performances or installations. He took a break from building temples to build his home with surrounding stone walls in Montville during the early 90s. In 1989, Paul returned to making temples in various media incorporating clusters of words that he composes himself. He also travels to Mexico and the Southwest to study the architecture and cultures of the Mayan and Pueblo peoples. Oberst's work is in numerous museums, corporate, private and university collections.
