'Art In Motion' Exhibit On Display At Reston Art Gallery

RESTON, VA —Reston Art Gallery and Studios (RAGS) will be showcasing the Calder-esque works of architect and artist Wayne Schiffelbein on weekends through Aug. 1, as part of the featured show “Art In Motion," according to a release.

Schiffelbein first developed his interest in mobiles and stabiles as a student and during his career in architecture. This interest led him to a new career as a sculptor of fine art objects. His mobiles of colored aluminum and glass, balanced with stainless steel in a contemporary style, were inspired by a 1964 visit to a Guggenheim Museum exhibit featuring Alexander Calder’s work.

“It was an unforgettable experience,” Schiffelbein said. “I spent hours observing and moving among the various mobiles which were hanging everywhere in that very dynamic exhibition space.”

"Art In Motion" runs weekends through Aug. 1, from 10 a.m.-5 p.m., on Saturdays, and 12-5 p.m., on Sundays, at Reston Art Gallery and Studios, 11400 Washington Plaza West in Reston. To make an appointment to view the exhibit at other times, contact the gallery online.

In August, RAGS will be featuring a month-long display called “At Water’s Edge” by Sandra Dovberg. Rosemarie Forsythe will present "Modern Illuminations" during the month of September. Forsythe's show will include the special event "Engage Nepal," presented by former U.S. Ambassador to Nepal Scott DeLisi.

RAGS Director Pat Macintyre also offers free Crafts for Kids events every Saturday, from 10 a.m.-12 p.m.
