Night Light

Lafayette artist Rachel Perry will display her newest exhibition, "Night Light," at the Gallery at Cité des Arts. Depicting light accurately on a flat, opaque canvas is no easy feat; it requires an almost scientific level of observation and reproduction. In these paintings, Perry has made her own rules for how light travels, specifically at nighttime and the hours approaching it. The colors, shades, and subjects she deems most interesting have taken the focus in this work, and certain realistic details have been altered or even discarded to better show what she sees as beautiful in the nocturnal skies. Masks are required for entry to the Gallery and Cliff’s Bar at Cité des Arts, and social distancing and capacity limits will be strictly enforced. 10 am–5 pm Tuesday–Friday. citedesarts.org.
