Metro Art Highlights: Sonia Romero’s “Pomona” (2006), Through the Eyes of Artists.
Artist Sonia Romero regales, “This is a symmetrical design which contains elements from many interesting aspects of the city of Pomona.”
The artist gloms a gaggle of historical and cultural icons and rives a frondescence of aesthetic density. The artwork vaults and reaches a virtuosic height of profound expression with references plucked from Pomona’s past and present such as the LA County Fair, The Wally Parks Motorsports Museum, and Antique Row. And the goddess Pomona herself is portrayed rebuffing lessons-learned and proffering a sliver of forbidden fruit to passerbys.
Inviting calm calamities and copacetic contretemps.
Have a bite.
Or have a dozen.
And smile through a mouthful of mendacious mirth.
