    In the thought-provoking art exhibition, Colors of War, New York City-based artist Terry Rosenberg has created digital paintings of loaded words whose incendiary meanings are challenged by provocative juxtaposition and dramatic typography. By bringing together words with clashing, contested meanings, Colors of War illustrates how our contemporary moment seems to reverberate in a continual state of confrontation and war, according Rosenberg.

    Pairing such oppositions in a shared, pictorial territory underscores the stereotypical understanding of the words’ meanings and evokes the troubled relations and inherent power struggles between them: you/me; us/them; she/he; spirituality/sexuality; patriots/traitors; instinct/reason; black/white; master/slave; Democrats/Republicans; Israelis/Palestinians; Democracy/Terrorism; Muslims/Christians; etc.

    In addition to the Central Library, additional works are on display at the Robert T. Matsui Gallery at Sacramento City Hall (915 I Street, North Entrance).
