Lasting Impressions Opens in Schulenburg
Time and the rhythm of life are captured in the exhibition Lasting Impressions featured at ARTS at the Old Stanzel, opening on January 8 from 5-7 p.m. The artwork of five photographers is on exhibit in the show at the newly opened gallery located in the historical town of Schulenburg. Visitors are invited to discover life captured and reinvented through the lens of five photographers. In the works of Jerry Brown, Carol Lyon, Art Stokes, Vicki Wiste, and Beckey Zajicek, the ordinary is turned into the extraordinary.
In today’s world of phone cameras and quick snapshots, everyone can click an image. However, the works in this exhibition stands apart and reflect the exceptional vision of these photographers whose skills take them beyond documentation into artistry. With expert use of their tools, their cameras, creative process in the darkroom, these artists capture images of their interest, their style, and reflect stories of quiet resonance, pieces of life captured for all time. Jerry Brown’s black and white photographs track journeys, adventures, and the heartbeat of places while Carol Lyon’s images speak of the humanity of life and the earth we share. Art Stokes stretches his stories which are sometimes quiet and other times beyond reality. The unexplored and times past are beautifully captured by Vicki Wiste and Beckey Zajicek. Their photographs inspire and invite the viewer to dream, to reflect, and to experience life at a different level. All of the artwork depicts up close encounters with wildlife, the resonating silence of broad landscapes, the vast caverns of manmade structures and more.
