Bellaceras Selected for Plate and Totem Show

This show of clay works was curated by prominent ceramic sculptor Tony Natsoulas for the Blue Line Gallery in Roseville, CA. The exhibition was in April 2011.

Victoria Dalkey, Art Correspondent for the Sacramento Bee, wrote "Among the surprises of the show are an elaborate expressionistic plate of exotic creatures called 'Pandora's Dilemma' by Joseph Bellacerra, who is better known for his emotive landscapes. The vigorously handled plate signals an interesting new direction for him."
