GREENFIELD — The LAVA Center at 324 Main St. is presenting a new art exhibit by daughter Jessica Beck and her father Daryl Beck, called “Sequence,” that will be on display throughout August. The Becks will attend an opening reception on Saturday, Aug. 3, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and a closing reception on Friday, Aug. 30, from 5 to 8 p.m.
Jessica Beck grew up taking road trips and going to museums with her family. She became a fan of street art in its varied forms and drew influence from video games, hip-hip and graffiti on YouTube. Jessica is currently a student at Greenfield Community College with a focus on computer programming. She also writes and records music.
Daryl Beck, after studying at Landmark College, transferred and completed the GCC art program in 1994. He has also studied at the San Francisco Art Institute. His past artwork has been in the realm of photography, metal sculpture and multimedia installations. He is interested in the sense of motion, the visual patterns and the cultural messaging that are ever-present in the natural and the human-built world around us.
This exhibit received funding from the Crossroads Cultural District Committee and the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
