Artist in Residence : Don Porcella
June 1-30, 2025

This June, Radius Gallery presents “Artist in Residence : Don Porcella.” Throughout the month, the artist will use the 1900 square feet as a studio space, show space, installation space, performance space, and project space. Porcella invites other artists and visitors to collaborate with him throughout the month.

Don Porcella is a mixed media artist who transforms low-brow materials and elevates them to a high art context. He laughs at the human condition and presents a unique world that is shamelessly awkward and unabashedly comical.

Porcella recalls early life experiences in an animalistic call of the wild with paintings, sculpture, drawings and installations from materials such as handmade wax and woven pipe cleaners. Porcella’s work often references art historical movements, America’s rampant consumerism, and alien conspiracy theories, which allows the subjective and strange to penetrate humorous representations of a wildly imaginative reality.

Born and raised in Modesto, California, Don Porcella’s artwork has been exhibited at galleries and museums across the U.S. and in Berlin, Paris, and Copenhagen. Porcella’s art has been reviewed in the New York Times, NY ARTS, Fiber Arts Magazine, Chelsea Now, San Francisco Magazine and the Village Voice to name a few. He has a BA in Psychology from the University of California at San Diego, a BFA from California College of Arts and Crafts and an MFA from Hunter College in New York.

Events and studio visits throughout the month. Studio tours by appointment.
