Local Photographer Has Exhibit Opening on Friday

Neighbor Kathy Libraty has a photography exhibit called Urban Graffiti-Horror Vacui opening this Friday, August 3 at 6:30pm at the Park Slope Starbucks, and it will be on display for the month of August.

“As a visual artist, I have always enjoyed the juxtaposition of varying elements in my work,” Kathy says in her artist’s statement. “As I was photographing different locations of graffiti art and wall murals throughout Brooklyn and Long Island City, it occurred to me that this is a ‘people’s art’ and that our urban landscape is created by many varying contributors…. I have also taken the artistic license to alter the images by adding other photographic images by compositing them in Photoshop. Thus, in my own way, I have added to the visual lexicon of the urban landscape—even if the images only exist as unique works in these photographic prints.”

Many of the images in the exhibit feature Kathy’s daughter, Elisa Lovelie, who she says “has that elusive charisma, charm, and humor that jumps out of the photographs and demands your full attention.”

Prints are available for purchase. Contact Kathy to make a purchase or for more information at 718-859-0901 or Libradolls@aol.com.
