GREENWICH — A new exhibition at the Bruce Museum features a collection of abstract sculptures that take inspiration from nature, including the wonders of the observable universe.

Gisela Colón: Radiant Earth will be on view through June 28th. The exhibition features eight of Colón’s sculptures, offering an overview of her artwork’s connection to the natural world, the mountainous terrain she grew up with as a child in Puerto Rico, and the vistas of her current home in California.

Colón has worked in sculpture for more than a decade, collaborating with the aerospace and scientific communities to use plastics, environmentally sustainable carbon fiber, green resins, and other engineered materials in her work. She has developed a method of “structural color” to layer and laminate materials to create a luminescent effect, with constantly changing colors that are activated by light. The effect mirrors the dynamics found in nature, galaxies, and deep space.

Featured works include Pods, which appears to glow from within, and Monoliths, a series of tall, freestanding obelisk forms.

This weekend will feature programming related to the exhibition, with Art Adventures running from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The program, open to children ages four and up and their families, invites guests to take inspiration from Colón’s artwork and create their own eye-catching sculptures.

Expanded coverage of Fairfield County cultural events is made possible with support from the Fairfield University Quick Center for the Arts.
