''Memory, Longing, Desire: Painting and Sculpture'' by Ernie Silva at The Bronowski Art & Science Forum on Oct 8 '09 7PM

Ernest Silva’s paintings and sculptures (www.ernestsilva.org) are psychological landscapes bridging tranquil American subject matter and the disquieting, to reveal aspects of human nature. Silva uses images to trigger speculation, based on personal experience, though not autobiographical. The common denominators are the handmade, the emotive, and the sense that they may have been imagined, or recalled from memory. They can be read literally but easily move to metaphor.

His work has been exhibited in nearly all the major cities in the US, Italy, Mexico and Denmark and is included in numerous permanent collections that include: Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego; Fogg Museum of Harvard University; Oakland Museum of Art; Orange Country Museum of Art, Berkeley Museum; Rhode Island of Design Museum of Art, and San Jose Museum of Art.
