Distinguished artists' work on display at Switzer Center
 | | Theater by Jerry Uelsmann |
|
Pensacola Junior College presents the Switzer Distinguished Artists exhibit through March 14 at the Anna Lamar Switzer Center for Visual Arts gallery, Building 15 on the Pensacola campus.
The honored artists are photog rapher Jerry Uelsmann and digital artist Maggie Taylor. Come meet the artists for a gallery tour 2 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 7.
Using multiple negatives to produce surreal, dreamlike photographs, Uelsmann has developed a singular artistic vision that has carried him through a nearly 50-year artistic career. Firmly entrenched in traditional darkroom practices, Uelsmann produces magical and thoughtprovoking imagery without the help of modern computerbased techniques. Uelsmann's works are featured in permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Bibliotheque National in Paris, the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo and Moderna Museet in Stockholm.
After 10 years of creating vibrant, color, still-life images with a view camera, Taylor began working with the computer in 1996. By placing objects directly on the glass top of the scanner, she creates a unique type of digital image that has some photographic qualities. Many of the images feature portions of her drawings, as well as found objects and bits of old tintype photographs.
