| Description | TAMPA GALLERY of PHOTOGRAPHIC ARTS PRESENTS CUT, EDIT and EMBELLISH – A LIFE IN COLLAGE: an EXHIBITION of PHOTOGRAPHY by HUGH SHURLEY.
OCTOBER 16th 2004 – January 2nd 2005.
Using layers of single transparent images while deftly and intricately placing a myriad of other objects between – Hugh Shurley creates a unique work of photographic art full of intrigue and mystery. Found objects and shreds of other photos, historical documents, and personal mementos create a depth of field that can only be found in collage. Rather than focusing entirely on the photographs themselves, Shurley is more interested in looking deeper into the image – as he puts it: “peeling inside the photograph” – and using collage to bring out the story that seems to live within it “like an old memory.”
Mr. Shurley is a nationally acclaimed photographer who has exhibited his one-of-a-kind collage photographs throughout the country. He has taught, lectured, published books and been featured in many publications including Rolling Stone, Premier and Genre as well as a book jacket illustration for Vintage International, London. In addition, he has exhibited with the Arnot Art Museum, Elmira, NY; In Collaboration, Santa Monica and Akron, OH; Villa Montalvo, Los Gatos; ARU, San Francisco; SF Cameraworks. He is represented by the Art Center Gallery in Pasadena and at galleries in New York City.
