The Heineman Myers Gallery has a 2-for-1 show for Fotoweek.  Faux/Real includes work by photographers Jeanette May and Brady Robinson.  May’s photos, from her Flora/Fauna series, take a look at the lengths people go to decorate their yards using topiaries and fake animals to transform nature into a controlled and plastic reality.

Robinson’s Scenes from Jesus Land focuses on the Holyland Experience themepark, located in Orlando, FL.  The daily crucificxion show among ice cream cones and gift shops sure is a social observation worth considering.  This is one exhibit we are looking forward to seeing, since both artists have placed a whimsical spin on two very different subjects.

In talking with gallery director Zoe Myers about May’s and Robinson’s work, she explains that the photographs portray a colorful, funny perspective.  People aren’t exactly sure if there is an expected response.  How will you respond?

In addition to May and Robinson, the gallery will be showing Vintage black and white photos by David Seymour “Chim.”  Chim is known for his heartbreaking photos of children in post-WWII Europe.  Color photographs will also be available for sale.
