Minimalist sculptor and photographer Michael Afsa explores the quiet, contemplative beauty of the American Southwest in his first museum exhibition, “Suburban Paradise,” opening at Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, at 7374 E. Second St., Scottsdale on June 14.
The sho runs through Sept. 14, according to a press release.
Drawing inspiration from the architecture and landscape of the region, “Suburban Paradise” is a reflection on the relationship between human-made environments and the vast, natural landscape of the surrounding desert.
One of the ideas Afsa explores is reimagining the everyday. His sculptures are crafted from materials commonly found in Southwestern structures, like wood, sand and stucco. He makes use of light, shadow, texture and dimension to reference familiar concepts such as the horizon or a sunset.
Admission is $13–$16 for non-members; $10–$13 for students, seniors (65+) and veterans; and free for Scottsdale Arts ONE Members, healthcare workers, first responders, and patrons 18 and younger. Admission to the museum is pay-what-you-wish every Thursday and every second Saturday of the month.
