If you missed our May Trolley Night then you missed seeing the work of some very talented Memphis Artists. But don't fret, it's not too late! Their work will remain on display through Sunday, June 22nd, and if you're interested in purchasing any of the pieces, they're listed under the "Art" tab here if you aren't able to make it in.
The Featured Artist for this show was Gardner Mounce.
Gardner is a self-taught photographer, writer and visual artist living in Memphis, TN with his wife and pets.
His photographic process involves lighting each scene with flashes, colored gels, high-powered laser pointers, and LED flashlights rather than relying on post-process techniques. While he does use Lightroom and Photoshop to edit, in almost all cases the lighting and coloring work is accomplished in person.
He has 2 framed prints on display as well as a variety of smaller loose prints for sale.
We're thrilled that in addition to Gardner's work, this exhibition features the work of seven artists from the Ugly Art Collective - a vibrant group of contemporary Memphis-based artists known for their bold ideas and unfiltered expression:
Isaiah Kennedy | Sam Reeves Hill | Plastik Olives | Justin Williams | Zack Orsborn |
This show brought together a dynamic mix of painting, mixed media and photography that challenges the notion of what art "should be" and invited the viewer to sit with what is - raw, beautiful and powerfully human.
Whether you are an avid collector, a first time buyer or simply looking for inspiration, this collection is not to be missed! All works are available for purchase directly through the store.
