New Exhibition - "Flesh and Vapor" Photographic Monoprints by Robert Asman
April 9-May 11, 2013

 

"Asman has turned his photographs into paintings, in which his swirls and puddles of selenium, bleach, tea, and sepia are transformed into colors that conjure the sublime." - Edith Newhall, Philadelphia Enquirer

Join us for the Opening Reception, April 12, 5:30-8:30pm, of Robert Asman's "Flesh and Vapor" exhibition which will run from April 9 to May 11, 2013. 

In "Flesh and Vapor", Asman brings together two themes, clouds/vapor and body/flesh, into a shared construct in which the textures, shape and sensuality of the human form are reflected in, and in turn reflected by, the ethereal and evanescent nature of the cloud. (....more information)
