Photography Exhibit on View at Ingham Chapman

For Release - September 3, 2009

The photography of Ryan Horvath is on view at the Ingham Chapman Gallery of the University of New Mexico-Gallup through September 30.

Horvath, who is from Seattle, says of his photography:  “My work involves paying attention to the common environment and transforming it. I am receptive of and responsive to my surroundings. With personal curiosities and natural tendencies to experiment, I investigate the relationship of impulse and idea as physical and mental activities. In this exhibition, I have selected works from two different series of color photographs.”

The artist describes some of the works in the show thus:

Trans-Passage: “Multiple images are taken from a set viewpoint and form visual pathways, reoccurring riffs and spatial ramblings of a new time and place. These moments of actual and implied motion emit a directional movement that leaves you following my eye and waiting for the next bus.”

American Haikus: “Focuses on elements such as simplicity, abstraction and economy of image, capturing and at times redefining occrrences found in Nature.” 

Gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call John Zimmerman, gallery manager, at 863-7774 for more information.
