Reconstructive Viewpoints Photographic Chronicals at Artemis First Fridays April 6th

Photographic Chronicles  of the Huguenot Bridge by Bruce Yoder and  other Richmond perspectives by Keith Deringer.

We often take for
granted the beautiful bits of natural and
manmade elements surrounding us each day.
Thankfully, we have two emerging photographers in
our own backyard to remind us of these easily missed gifts.
The chronicles of the Huguenot Bridge upgrade often brings to mind
questions, frustrations, and sometimes delays as we cross from one suburb
of Richmond to another. Bruce Yoder spent many Saturday and Sunday
afternoons walking across the 63 year old bridge capturing the beauty of
natural elements both before and during their transformations into manmade
use. Surprisingly stunning photographs are now his gift to us as we
vicariously slow down and take the time to just look.
Similarly, freelance photographer Keith Deringer shares his passion for the
beauty in the world around us as he takes shots of both nature and people.
Deringer’s photo art also provides a behind-the-scenes look at many
Richmond art gatherings and socials, rituals (the great American game of
baseball with Richmond’s own Flying Squirrels), and the energy
thus produced.
Come out and join Artemis Gallery as we celebrate two great local emerging
photographers, live music, and light refreshments throughout the evening!
Artworks will be available for viewing throughout the month of April on
Saturdays from 12-5PM and all other times by appointment when you
call 804-353-2676.

 

“Wired Realities” Opening at Artemis Gallery First Friday April 1st!

This April we will be celebrating the beginning of Spring with “Wired Realities” at Artemis Gallery! This show will be featuring the work of local artists Guy Barnard and Bob Early and their wire sculptures.

Their work is often described as three dimensional blind contour drawings. As if they drew it on paper and turned it into a sculptural piece of work.

In Bob’s own words he says, “The inspiration for my art comes from a lifetime of relentless curiosity of how things work and what’s inside. From my need to take things apart comes the wonderment of finding ways to make the parts into something new and amazing. Also a big part of my inspiration comes from
nature and my fascination of bugs and wildlife. Combining the two I try to achieve works of art which inspire their own curiosities and fascinations. Whether it is complex as with Musical Gears or as simple as my Reflecting Fish, my overall goal is to achieve an emotion connection to my work.”

The show will also be featuring live music and will run until May 5th. So come celebrate the birth of Spring with us at Artemis Gallery!
