SMAart Gallery and Studio is pleased to present Cosmic Compulsions and Animated Animals, an exhibit by husband and wife team Joseph Bellacera and Paula Wenzl Bellacera. They admired each others' artwork even before they met at a time when they were both showing landscapes. As a couple, their work has matured and has followed different paths. Paula fell for the plasticity of the ceramic. Her sculptures express whimsical human emotion and personalities embodied in the form of animals. Joe broadened his interests to create a synthesis of elements from the most mundane to the most elegant configurations of the macro and micro. These varied arrangements have become what he calls “visual poems.”
