The Center for the Digital Arts Gallery at SUNY Westchester Peekskill is thrilled to present Luke Bellas, a dynamic and visually captivating exhibition on view from September 1 through December 4.
This vibrant exhibition spotlights the work of emerging local artist Luke Bellas, whose bold paintings bring to life wildly imaginative characters inspired by the rich visual language of video games. Drawing from a lifelong passion for gaming, Bellas creates energetic, zany worlds filled with fantastical creatures and larger-than-life personalities that leap off the canvas with color, movement, and intensity.
Currently a certificate student in the Center’s Game Design workforce program, Bellas is transforming his passion into a professional creative practice. His work reflects a deep fascination with game aesthetics, storytelling, and innovation—inviting viewers to step inside immersive, playful universes where art and interactive culture collide.
Bellas earned his BFA from SUNY Purchase and has exhibited in regional venues, including Established Gallery in Brooklyn. This exhibition marks an exciting moment in his evolving artistic journey.
The public is warmly invited to celebrate the artist at the Opening Reception on Thursday, September 24 from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m.
