Alan Avery Art Company will hold a reception for an exhibition featuring the work of three photographers, Susan kae Grant, Michael Childers, and Robert Griffeth. The reception coincides with the First Thursdays Buckhead Gallery Walks, and in conjunction with Atlanta Celebrates Photography. The exhibition continues through November 3, 2009.
Dallas photographer, Susan kae Grant’s most recent body of work, “Night Journey,” is a multi-dimensional installation and suite of iris prints exploring the artistic interpretation of dreams, memory and the unconscious. It has been exhibited at thirteen venues and was included in the “International Biennale of Contemporary Art” in Florence, Italy. Grant will be giving an artist’s lecture on her work Saturday, October 3 at 2pm.
ME, MYSELF & ME, an exhibition of Michael Childers’ lost portfolio of Andy Warhol will be showing in the front gallery. Many photographs were taken of the larger than life character, but rarely did Warhol sit for a photographer for images with such transparency into his soul. Childers’ images seem to capture the loneliness that lay deep and trapped hidden within, away from the paparazzi and the bright lights of stardom.
Known for his iconic photographs of celebrities, Childers was also a founding photographer of Andy Warhol’s Interview and After Dark magazines. His close friendship with Warhol is evident in this unique portfolio, which includes images of the artist in his New York studio in 1976 and his Paris apartment in 1980 (thought to be the only photographs of him there).
The gallery will also feature the mysterious work of local photographer Robert Gregory Griffeth. The mystery in Griffeth’s photographs is not only the haunting imagery, but also his synergetic process. Griffeth uses several pieces of negatives to create one powerful image.
