Roberta Eisenberg’s paintings reference landscape but an interior one using 'Nature' as a metaphoric language. While guided in part by intuition/instinct the finished paintings are due more to a determined critical thinking and a skillful control of her medium. In the words of the late critic Michael Laurence, there is a, “gestural tension of line and its calligraphic emotional charge, a quality of never describing but making reference toward essences...” he saw “a connection with an animism, a force within organic matter,” as coming close to stating her actual subject matter. Eisenberg doesn’t believe in animism but she does advocate for a increased awareness of the intimate link between humanity and nature. She speaks of a subtle sense of the spiritual, a feeling for the life force in all inanimate objects whether its water, rocks or weather.

Black Quiltmakers of Southern California November 18 thru December 20 2008

This exhibition will promote, educate and advance the original spirit of quilt making. Quilt making is a viable art form practiced all across the country. Southern California has its own strong group of quilters. This exhibit will acknowledge the Black Quilt makers who make reference to or use African fabrics and/or African patterns to create their art. The primary purpose of this exhibit is to introduce the art of quilt making to a new generation of artists, college students and quilt makers.

The W. Keith and Janet Kellogg University Art Gallery presents exhibitions in the visual arts of significance to three specific communities: the Cal Poly Pomona University campus community; the local communities surrounding Pomona, and the greater Los Angeles area art communities. The purpose of our program is to bring to the campus and to the community carefully developed art exhibits that instruct, inspire and challenge the viewer.

Most of the gallery's exhibitions focus on the evolving issues of contemporary art as practiced in Southern California. Special exhibitions bring attention to important national artists and issues of art historical/critical interest spanning ideological and cultural boundaries. Like any good gallery the W. Keith and Janet Kellogg Art gallery has presented work that has challenged the notion of what is art as well as presenting objects of stunning visual beauty.

Art is a site for dialogue. We extend an open invitation to the public and the campus community to the opening receptions.* Our opening receptions are fun, with food, beverages and often entertainment. They are a chance to meet and talk with artists, to share ideas perhaps to argue, to be profoundly moved by an art object or to experience the pleasure of its beauty.

The gallery is not just for students attending classes here but for the entire community. Exhibitions have included artwork that touches the lives of people today as well as themes of historical or ethnographic interest. It is the goal of the gallery to continue to bring high caliber art that is beautiful and challenging and that speaks to the many cultural interests of both the university and the greater community surrounding the campus. Located in front of the Associated Student Union, across from the library, the gallery is physically located at a nexus point of university life. The gallery showcases the work of our most talented students in exhibitions every May and June.

The Kellogg Gallery is made up of three separate interior galleries connected by a spacious central corridor. The two front spaces with their high ceilings are 1000 sq. ft. each. The back gallery is 2000 sq. ft. with an open grid ceiling.
