An exhibition of large-format photographs of custom cars is scheduled to open at the Salina Art Center later this week.
GLOSSY • BRIGHT • COLORFUL, photographs by George Jerkovich, is scheduled to open Wednesday at Salina Art Center, 242 S. Santa Fe Avenue. The art center is open to the public at no charge. An opening reception is scheduled for 5-7 p.m. Friday at the art center.
Summer hours are Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 11 a.m.–5 p.m., Friday from 11 a.m.–7 p.m., and Sunday 11 a.m.–3 p.m. GLOSSY • BRIGHT • COLORFUL is scheduled to be in the South Gallery Wednesday through Aug. 1, 2021. Additionally, it is scheduled to be available for evening viewing during the KKOA Leadsled Spectacular, July 22-25.
GLOSSY • BRIGHT • COLORFUL features nine large-format photographs printed on metal, showcasing automotive details of nine customized cars. Jerkovich said that color and form are the two most important aspects of his work. This exhibition includes a broad spectrum of warm colors, which he favors over cool ones, with the metal substrate rendering them “glossy, bright, colorful.”
About the artist
Jerkovich is a noted regional photographer. He regularly participates in area exhibits, and his work is represented in many corporate and private collections.
Normally a landscape photographer, Jerkovich admits that he is “not a car guy” but that he does admire the color, form, and craft of restored cars. In his photography, the process is just as important to him as the final image.
