SONOMA, Calif. - Californer -- This fall, di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art brings Moving Pictures: A Survey Exhibition of Works by Deborah Oropallo and Collaborators to their expansive Gallery 2 and other sites throughout the grounds. Moving Pictures will be on view from October 5, 2024 through March 30, 2025, with an Opening Reception October 5, 5 – 7 p.m.
Moving Pictures presents a survey of Oropallo's work, focusing on new directions in the Bay Area artist's practice. Since making her home in Northern California in the early 1980s, Oropallo has worked in close collaboration with other Bay Area artists and thinkers including Michael Goldin, Jeremiah Franklin, and Andy Rappaport.
Originally trained as a painter, Oropallo incorporates mixed media techniques, including photomontage, video, computer editing, printmaking, and painting into her practice. Whether still or moving images, the resulting works bear traces of the distortions that evolve or remain from her manipulations. Her composite works layer visual sources, producing dense interplay between time, place, form, and content, often addressing themes of climate catastrophe, political uprising, and gender identity.

"Rene di Rosa was one of the first collectors to purchase and follow my work, and like many other artists, having his early support provided quite a lift of encouragement and support," said Oropallo. "I couldn't be more grateful to have the opportunity to show this body of work, here at home, where it all began, and among the many artists I have known since 1980. The di Rosa property provides excellent outdoor space to present some of the videos in this unique setting."
Moving Pictures will be installed in di Rosa's expansive Gallery 2, as well as other locations spread across the grounds including the bell tower attached to the di Rosa Residence; an oak grove adjacent to the Sculpture Meadow; and a conference room utilized to house Oropallo and Rappaport's 113, an installation referencing the 113 school shootings that took place in 2019 and comprised of video monitors, projection, sound, and six school desks and chairs.
During the run of the exhibition, select single-channel video work by Oropallo and Rappaport, and Oropallo and Franklin, will be projected in the evening hours on the exterior of di Rosa's Gallery 1, visible to passers-by on the Carneros Highway.
