Elena Vizerskaya, 2017 HCCMF Artist
Pop-up Exhibit and Gallery Talk
Wednesday, July 26 @ 5:30 – 7:00 PM In partnership with the Highlands-Cashiers Chamber Music Festival, The Bascom is hosting a gallery talk and pop-up exhibition with Elena Vizerskaya as part of the 2017 HCCMF Salon Series.
"Elena Vizerskaya is a master Ukrainian photo artist. Her passion for photography and collage creation began spontaneously in childhood and became her self-expression possibility and necessity as the way to say things that couldn't be said with words. Elena's works are sometimes compared with those of Dali and Magritte due to the complexity of artistic figures and a great number of layers of perception, though it is definitely an original artistic language and an absolutely unpredictable different reality. She will discuss her work from both a technical and an artistic standpoint." Please join us for an intimate experience with Elena Vizerskaya in The Bascom's Education Gallery.
