Chaffey Community Museum of Art has an exhibition of the work by Upland-born artist William Graber running through April 20.
The museum has displayed Graber’s work throughout the main gallery.
Graber, part of the Ontario Graber olive family, currently resides in Montana. His art is a mix of sculptures and two dimensional work of materials that can be found in everyday life. The bright colors and different shapes of the sculptures are seen throughout the exhibit.
“He is really an enigma to me,” museum board member Ruby Leavitt said. “I feel like his art is a statement that he sounds conflicted. Introspect what this art means to you.”
He chose bright colors such as red, blue, oranges and green. The two dimensional works had a lot of art within the art, such as pictures of buildings, painted on road and colors both muted and bright.
There are a couple of sculptures that take the shape of a person. There were a few sculptures that did not have the bright multi-color theme, but just one color. One was all black that looked like a crescent moon arching over what was underneath it.
The art by William Graber are available for purchase within the museum, the prices vary depending on the piece and size.
Chaffey Community Museum of Art in Ontario is open from noon to 4 p.m., Thursdays through Sundays. Admission is free.
