by Dale Minter 

Feb.6 – Mar.1
First Friday Reception 5-8pm

“A Closer Look: Past, Present …” is a collection of images and assemblages opening at noon Friday, February 6.  A First Friday reception will feature the artist from 5-8 p.m. The exhibit runs Friday-Sunday afternoons through March 1.

Minter earned a BFA from James Madison University and holds an MFA in Fine Art Photography from the Cranbrook Academy of Art. He has taught photography at the UNL Department of Art. 

Earlier works were projected on fabric, then photographed. More recent work is computer-based, but also includes actual found objects Minter whimsically combines with photographic images. No matter the technology, layered images interact and change each other.



Mystery, fantasy, and surrealism combine in Minter’s colorful, multilayered works that explore “the bridge we create as we transition from childhood into adults.” Layering and transformation visualize the concept of connections, Minter notes, “through symbols, photographic references, metaphoric expressions and life experiences.” Realistic images can merge into an abstract form that expands what both the artist and viewer may see, he writes. 

Works are available for viewing and purchase noon to 5 p.m. Friday to Sunday,  February 6-March 1 or by appointment: dmdesign96@gmail.com
