Dates: March 3, 2010 - April 25, 2010
Artist: FotoFest, Jon Edwards, A Way of Being
Medium: Photography
Description:

The photographs in the series “A Way of Being” are of people and places on physical and metaphoric islands. There is both simplicity and beauty in the lives of the individuals I photograph, as well as hardship caused by isolation or the struggle to make ends meet.  My work is meant to celebrate the dignity these individuals display, not to document “vanishing lifestyles.”

Artist: Jerrold Burchman, Naturae Natum

Artist:
Philippe Garel
Medium:
Oil on Canvas
Description:

Philippe Garel is both a painter and a sculptor, and lives in Paris. His paintings are concepts suspended between “fiction“ and “real“. These notions are present through out all the subjects he undertakes. More than a presence, it is an alliance to produce a strangeness. A sort of enigma which seems to arrange the apparent tranquility of the scene without formally identifying it. This concern traverses his landscapes, still lifes, and portraits. It draws the spectator, and intriguingly questions him.

Garel has exhibited his work throughout Europe including Paris, Rouen, Madrid, Florence, Rome, Bologne, Munich, and Amsterdam. He has done monumental sculpture commissions in France and in Africa. Most recently his paintings were exhibited at Musee Cognacq-Jay in Paris.
