NORMAN E. RILEY: PHOTO SURREALISM
posted by San Luis Obispo Museum of ArtPhotographs by Norman E. Riley. Mr. Riley has recently made a generous donation of his photographs to the Museum of Art’s Permanent Collection. Most of the photographs have the same background and are simple subjects comprised of few elements. Nearly all combine pieces of scrap metal with something living or objects that were once living. He has carefully selected and arranged the components in ways that are striking and harmonious creating surrealistic images that are incongruent juxtapositions. Mr. Riley shares, “It is my hope that these artful photographs will showcase a suitable command of the photographic medium from which they arise, namely photography, as distinguished from all forms of digital imaging.” October 12 – November 11, 2012. 1010 Broad St. San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 Phone: 805.543.8562.
