The Museum of Ventura County is proud to present Michael Pearce exhibition, The Secret Paintings, a 35-piece collection reminiscent of Renaissance and Pre-Raphaelite masters in their ambitiousness, complexity, and scale. Its scenes of theatrical grandeur combine the present with the mysteries of the past to create something wholly modern. Pearce uses the ancient Neolithic imagery of his ancestors, injecting it into medieval tarot card settings rife with allegory, all manifested in grand adventures across great canvases. The Museum will host an opening reception Friday, June 2, 6-8 pm.
