HOWLAND TOWNSHIP, Ohio – “Sci-Fi + Hollywood: the Art of John Zabrucky” opens this weekend at the Medici Museum of Art. The exhibit features props from films such as “Men in Black,” the “Star Trek” franchise, “Total Recall,” “RoboCop” and various superhero films and television shows. The props were created by John Zabrucky, a Warren native and founder of Modern Props Inc.
“I think they did a phenomenal job,” Zabrucky says. “Compositionally, each room is about as perfect as could be, and the pieces work in the room. The lighting is fantastic. I think if you live in this area, you’re very lucky to have a museum like this.”
Also opening this weekend is a collection of works by painter Alex Garant, a native of Quebec who now lives in Canfield. Garant’s style, which she describes as figurative optical illusion art, is “a bit of a mix of traditional portraits and also what would be considered glitch art these days,” she says.
