Coming Up
"Beyond Real" Art Exhibition
Opening Reception and Artists' Talk
Friday, Sept. 3, 7 p.m.
The contrast between surreal photography and photorealistic
painting is on view in the exhibition, Beyond Real, featuring the photography of Gale
Nobes and the paintings of Adam Tetzlaff.
The exhibition opens Friday, Sept. 3 at 7 p.m.
with a reception and talk by both artists. The show runs through Sat., Oct. 2.
Gale
Nobes is a Muskegon-based photographer who has exhibited in solo and group
shows extensively in West Michigan, as well as in other parts of the
state.Working digitally in the
infrared spectrum, Nobes illuminates the beauty of his subjects in a way that
both captures and surpasses reality.He was the first place winner in
two statewide photo competitions held at the Newaygo County Council for the
Arts Artsplace in Fremont.His
other awards include the Patrick J. O’Leary Purchase Award at the Muskegon
Museum of Art’s 2008 West Michigan Regional Show and the Bill Pieri Photography
Award at the 2009 Festival of the Arts in Grand Rapids.
Adam Tetzlaff, who
resides in Lowell, creates intriguing contradictions.His landscapes can seem monumental but are painted on small
canvases.He uses paint, but the
resulting images have the clarity of a photograph. His subjects are modern, but
often have historic references.Tetzlaff has exhibited in galleries and museums in West Michigan.In addition to awards at juried
regional exhibitions, Tetzlaff was included in a group exhibition, 4 Under
40: Emerging Artists of West Michigan at the Grand Rapids Art Museum in 2005.
The exhibition may be viewed during the Center's business hours, which are
Tuesday-Saturday, 12-5:30 p.m.
The Center's in-house Literary Arts Program, Ludington Visiting Writers has lots going on. Check out their website for updates and information.
