Reality in RGB is the current exhibition in The Gallery at Kansas Wesleyan University.

The exhibition, by Jeroen Nelemans, assistant professor of graphic design at KWU, will be open to the public through April 1. The Gallery is located in KWU's Sams Hall of Fine Arts. Gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays and weekends by appointment.

Reality in RGB explores digital media by showcasing the inner workings behind the screen, according to information from the university. The exhibition "displays the building blocks of an image by exposing the RGB sub-pixels and creating graphic illusions. RGB (red, green and blue) represent the colors used on a digital display screen. Nelemans experiments with multiple layers to create distortion in something that would otherwise be seen as normal. The digital world, with its RGB component, is very much a reality in his art," KWU noted in a news release.

Nelemans, a visual artist who works in a variety of media, has had works exhibited in a variety of institutions, including the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, the Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia, the De la Cruz Collection Contemporary Space in Miami, the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia, the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art in Greece, and the Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts in Grand Rapids.
