Exhibition opening: Echo’s Reflections
Photographer
and SCAD Master of Fine Art candidate
Jamie Hankin will be showing his thesis project, Echo’s Reflections, at the Oglethorpe Gallery in Savannah from
February 18th through February 22nd, 2016.
Combining
elements of Dutch Vanitas painting, surrealism and cubism, these photographs
explore the concept of beauty and the transience of life through a medium which
freezes time. Ultimately, this work seeks the redemption of beauty from the
purgatory of contemporary critical theory.
