The Weight of it All & Abstraction

The Weight of it All & Abstraction

SuperCharged Printmakers hosts two new exhibitions featuring the work of Alan Shefland and mother/son collaborative Heather Mattera and Ben Mattera.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
 

Heather Mattera & Ben Mattera | The Weight of it All
  A mother and son collaborative, utilizing photography as a visual language to promote curiosity about teen boys, their relationship with food and their relationship with body.
  Bending light and shadow, the two work together to bring voice to those unheard. Through portrait, still life, and documentary photography, they share an intimate story of struggle, growth and freedom.
 

Alan Shefland | Abstraction
  After ending his career as a Hollywood Motion Picture Editor Shefland decided to get serious about his very part time hobby: photography. He took classes at the Minnetonka Center for the Arts, and after a couple of years started teaching Photography. Those years of honing his visual art knowledge helped in my transition.
 

"I practice and enjoy several abstract approaches and subjects. Abstracting architecture is a fun exercise that shows the melding of various building styles to present one frame where these different styles come to play.  And sometimes the elements are minimal … stairways. handrails, loading docks, aging metals and people. Enjoy!"
