The Fairfield Art Association announces a new exhibit, "Fairfield Iconic" by photographer Guy Harvey. The exhibit of 20 photographs will take place in the Hallway Gallery of the Fairfield Arts and Convention Center, opening on Friday, June 6th, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. The artist will be present to discuss his photography during the opening reception.
Harvey says, “Fairfield Iconic is a series of photographs taken in the downtown area of Fairfield, Iowa, between the years of 2008 and 2023. Each image conveys a sense of place that once served or still serves as a vital part of community life. The images also feature an abstract expression of color, shape, and form that holds interest regardless of the object's identity. I created the images initially for their abstraction and, in particular, their color, but over time, the idea of documenting a sense of place became stronger. I have always been attracted to color photography, inspired by the early masters like Ernst Haas and Saul Leiter, who demonstrated the beauty of vivid color in urban settings.”
This exhibit will be on display from June to July and is sure to evoke fond memories of downtown Fairfield. The Main Gallery continues the oil and watercolor exhibit by Michael Canas. FAA exhibits can also be viewed during FA&CC business hours, Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
