Visual artist John R. Ostaf presents his second exhibition, Capturing Memories, at the Tsawwassen Library.
It will exhibit 24 pieces of photographic visual art (with the largest being five feet in length).
He will introduce a new collection, Labyrinth Convoluted, at the opening reception Thursday, April 2 at the gallery at the library in the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall, from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
Rather than presenting pictures captured by the camera, Ostaf may alter content, colours, format and any other aspect of each image to enhance its moment in time. His intention is to retain the story or memory of the original image with this creativity so as to enhance the potential memory that was visualized.
Ostaf is multi-talented commencing from a high school photographer, casually using a film camera during his business career to a full-frame digital Nikon camera today. Self-taught and acquiring creative insight from dozens of professionals during the past six years, he has gained substantial experience and awards for imaginary but always on an original artistic path.
His landscapes tend to encompass the viewers past, present and future thoughts by visualizing their own presence within the selected artwork.
This creativity has led to this exclusive showing of artistic images to create memories and future value of the images to those who value what the art may provide to their personal vision.
The exhibition will continue daily to April 30. For hours call 604-943-2271.
