SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., – (May 23, 2011) Yerba Buena Center for the Arts is pleased to announce the opening of Part II of the sixth edition of its signature triennial event, Bay Area Now, a celebration of regional artists across an array of disciplines, from performance to visual art, to film/video.

Brion Nuda-Rosch work encompasses several series of sculptures and collages that interact conceptually with each other. Nature in the human form or as landscape are deliberately brought towards abstraction with small moves, collaging over an image with bits of painted paper, or obscuring a figure through erasure of detail. The simple processes and concepts in Rosch’s work demand time and contemplation asking many questions of the viewer and offering few answers. He has exhibited at DCKT Contemporary New York, Baer Ridgway Exhibitions and San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery. Brion is a 2010 Pantone Color of the Year Award winner, a Richard C. Diebenkorn Teaching Fellowship Finalist, and 2009 Artadia Award winner. He combines his studio practice with the curatorial direction of Hallway Projects including the One-Day Artist Residency Program, and the visual art reference blog Something Home Something. http://brionnudarosch.com/
