Rick Rhodes
Photography & Imaging in Charleston, SC, Features Works by
Peter Scala
Rick Rhodes Photography & Imaging, located in the West Ashley area of Charleston, SC, will present the exhibit, Birds, Cats and Others, featuring works by Peter Scala, on view from July 2 - 31, 2009.
An earnest painter, Scala uses classical composition. He does not just position his figures on a canvas, but develops a venue in which his characters and your imagination create the stories. Each of Scala's titles encourages you to imagine, investigate and discover the usually witty, fun and enjoyable events in his paintings. Scala paints to express his comedic bent and to enable the viewer to enjoy his work. Spending extra time with each painting enhances your experience.
In a review of Scala's recent Piccolo Spoleto Festival exhibit, Tom Starland of Carolina Arts Unleashed, called it a, "taste of worldly art". He continues by warning visitors that Scala's shows do not include typical scenes of the Lowcountry. Although you will find South of Broad Street in this exhibit, search out the cat and other creatures in the painting. As Starland notes Scala "likes to add images of animals- birds and cats- and sometimes some "what's that?" creatures. At times you have to look hard, but the animals are there.... And once you start looking for these animals, who knows what you'll discover that you didn't see at first glance."
