City Art Gallery in Columbia, SC, Features Photographic Images by Fred McElveen & Clay McElveen
City Art Gallery in Columbia, SC, hosts a photography
exhibit by Fred McElveen through August 30. Dr. McElveen is an
established Columbia-based physician with a specialty in dermatology,
but he is also an award-winning photographer. Though largely self-taught,
the artist has studied with Ansel Adams, Cole Weston, Phil Davis,
and Alan Ross, among others. Working in black and white, color,
and computer-assisted manipulation, McElveen builds upon established
practices of American documentary photography and European fine
art photography while inventing his own artistic voice.
The City Art exhibit includes several of McElveen's images of
Columbia such as the Gervais Street Bridge, but his artistic vision
transforms these familiar sights into classic and romantic
icons of place. The exhibit will include streetscapes, landscapes,
close-ups, and images the photographer captured on his travels.
The City Art exhibit will also feature several computer-enhanced
images by the photographer's son, Clay McElveen, a major in biology
at The University of South Carolina.
