6-29, 2007
City
Art Gallery opens a photography exhibit by
Fred McElveen on Thursday, September 6,
from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Dr. Though
largely self-taught, the artist has
studied with Ansel Adams, Cole Weston,
Phil Davis, and Alan Ross, among others.
Working in black and white, color, and
computer-assisted manipulation, McElveen
builds upon established practices of
American documentary photography and
European fine art photography while
inventing his own artistic voice.
The
City Art exhibit includes several of
McElveen’s images of Columbia such as
the Gervais Street Bridge, but his
artistic vision transforms these familiar sights
into classic and romantic icons of place.
The exhibit will include streetscapes,
landscapes, close-ups, and images the
photographer captured on his travels
throughout S.C. The City Art Gallery
exhibit will also feature several images
of arrangement of “stuff” that
juxtaposes philosophy with humor.
The
exhibit will continue through September
29, 2007.
