Explore the Center Art Gallery at 51±¬ÁÏ, featuring inaugural Visiting Artist Marissa Voytenko!

Exhibition Information

The Center Art Gallery’s inaugural Visiting Artist is Marissa Voytenko, a Michigan-based artist whose encaustic paintings and sculptural works explore the intersection of the physical and spiritual worlds through striking geometric abstraction. Drawing inspiration from Roman arches, Arabic tile work, Japanese gardens, and sacred traditions like the Daily Office, Voytenko fuses ancient aesthetics with a modern sensibility. Her process—layering, scraping, and burnishing encaustic wax— reveals vibrant hues beneath muted surfaces, mirroring her contemplative practice of prayer.

Voytenko’s work invites viewers into a visual rhythm of order, beauty, and transcendence, offering meditative reflections on the unseen. With exhibitions across the U.S. and abroad, Voytenko brings her unique voice in contemporary sacred art to 51±¬ÁÏ’s campus this fall.

Join us for this compelling exhibition, interactive events, and experience a visual dialogue that bridges centuries, cultures, and the sacred. Reception, workshop, and other event dates to come.
