The Leu Art Gallery will host a new exhibit entitled Transfer of Light: Photographic Visions of Gina Binkley, Bob Delevante, and David McClister. There will be a reception for the opening from 4-6 p.m. on Sept. 13. Transfer of Light continues through Oct. 23. |
Three Nashville-based photographic artists will show diverse work in an exhibit at Belmont’s Leu Gallery. This exhibit will portray the black and white art of Gina Binkley, Bob Delevante and David McClister.
Aside from the different techniques the photographers use to capture their scenes, all three photographers, whose work will be on display at the Leu Gallery Sept. 13-Oct. 23, capture contemporary life in their photographs; they express an idea that transmits ideas of our society in a new and original way.
“Each is committed to black and white imagery and have different approaches to subject matter and technique,” said Victoria Boone, director of Belmont’s Leu Art Gallery. The pictures that come from these three artists are ordinary objects that once photographed become extraordinary pieces of art.
Boone explained Gina Binkley’s art: “On composed still life, forms and objects which are presented in an constructivist inspired style…transformed into iconic, sacred images.”
Bob Delevante, Boone said, tends to take pictures of normal things. “Bob prefers to discover an image, move around it and compose…the situation…He is a storyteller and his approach makes his photographs honest and true to life.”
David McClister uses everyday people for his study, Boone said. “David’s photographs document the raw reality…from dirt race tracks to the Wal-Mart shopper, he presents every day people who are the backbone of society but are often overlooked in our insular, gentrified daily lives.”
