"Surrealism: A Photography Exhibition" Opening Reception

Opening Reception: Friday, May 6 from 7-9pm at Del Ray Artisans Gallery

Del Ray Artisans and Union 206 Studio present Surrealism: A Photography Exhibition. This exhibit pushes beyond accepted conventions of reality by representing – in photographs – irrational imagery of dreams and the unconscious mind… disorienting realist imagery often based on fantasy, nightmares, hallucination, and the imagination. The work’s disassociated nature leads to stunning compositions requiring the artist to see past what’s physically there to create pictures of the imagination, inviting all to slip out of the shackles limiting our vision.

Join us for the opening reception is on Friday, May 6 from 7-9pm at Del Ray Artisans gallery in the Nicholas A. Colasanto Center, 2704 Mount Vernon Avenue, Alexandria, Virginia 22301. Come enjoy the artwork and mingle with artists and art appreciators during this unveiling of the exhibit.
