The Spectrum . Redwood City's Monthly Magazine MAIN GALLERY TO FEATURE PHOTOGRAPHER’S WORKS Contact: Jeff Carlick Publicist 650-366-8055 captaineos@earthlink.net Ginni Savalli 650-906-0112 Charles Anselmo 415-407-3870 Redwood City – Photographers Charles Anselmo documents the passage of oncemighty structures, while Ginni Savalli shows how a simple garment is more than it seems. The two photographers will present their new works at The Main Gallery from May 25 to June 26 with an artist reception on Saturday, June 4 from 4-7 p.m. The gallery is located at 1018 Main Street. In the wake of several photographic excursions exploring social documentary themes in Havana, Cuba, Anselmo has turned primarily to his native California to capture several sites under a common theme. “Deconstructions” takes viewers to the unseen places that discreetly exist in the dark margins of a populous state, places whose tenancy in the landscape tends to be extinguished by ceaseless redevelopment. Many of the images stem from the familiarities of architecture and habitat; beneath this is a subtext of loss which pervades the sites. Most of them have since been demolished or otherwise rendered inaccessible as inconvenient icons of a past time. From an abandoned dynamite plant to a military jail at the closed Fort Ord Army base, from the vacant warehouses in San Francisco to the Cypress Freeway teardown, these color photographs are intimate portrayals of forgotten places and architectural ghosts dismissed by a changing human landscape. The photographer moves easily amongst this industrial archaeology, discovering a wealth of broken forms and saturated colors. Some images lean to abstracted patterns as materials are deconstructed and taken back by the land, becoming a compressed record of time. Primarily through the development of large digital prints from film, Anselmo has shown work in solo shows and juried group shows for several years. He teaches photography privately and gives presentations and critiques at the Palo Alto Art Center, and is an exhibiting member of The Main Gallery in Redwood City. Savalli’s “The Shawl: Common Thread,” is an ongoing project which combines the human form and a universally recognized garment to explore connections common to all of us. Here is how Savalli describes her photographic project: “The project’s original intent was to tie together numerous models (and body types) with a simple, easily recognized garment. In the process, universal themes and emotions started to emerge. For example, several images evoke religious overtones while others reveal bodyscapes that demonstrate strength of character. “ The artwork of Bay Area photographer Ginni Savalli is rooted in classic darkroom techniques, some dating back over 100 years. She handcrafts each image using unique toning techniques to create one-of-a-kind fine art prints. Her photographic projects include landscapes, waterscapes, human figure studies, and social issue themes.
