Randolph Arts Guild in Asheboro, NC,
Offers Works by Ross A. Holt
Randolph Arts Guild in Asheboro, NC,
will present the exhibit, the razure of oblivion: new work
by Ross A. Holt, on view in the Sara Smith Self Gallery from
Jan. 4 - 27, 2011.
Ross A. Holt is a poet with the camera. In his work there is a
subtle beauty that far transcends the photographic medium. He
finds and collects images, never staging, never lighting, and
aside from some occasional cropping, the final image is presented
essentially the way that he and the camera saw it. This speaks
to the true skill of Holt's eye as an artist.
Ross states, "I seek to make images that, as T.S. Eliot said
about good poetry, communicate before they are understood...",
and therein lies the strength and subtle beauty of Holt's work.
One need not know the objects from which the photos are taken
or even that they're photos in the first place to enjoy the bounty
of their harvest.
Holt's work has been featured in numerous solo and exhibitions
from around the state and region.
In addition to the exhibition, Holt will join the Guild for a
"Lunch and Learn" on Tuesday, Jan. 25, 2011, from noon
to 1pm. This monthly event features an informal opportunity for
the public to interact with the artists featured in the Sara Smith
Self Gallery. The event is free and the public is encouraged to
bring a bag lunch.
