Classic Cars West is proud to present Crystallize: Photographs and Finite Forms by Elena Kulikova. Photographs trap moments in time, granting immortality to otherwise fleeting people and things through the power of the printed image. Crystals too defy the passage of time, in the solid physicality of their glistening angular structures. In her latest work, Elena Kulikova materializes the meeting of these two enduring forms in Crystallize, an exhibit of crystalline garden installations and sensuous photographs.
An artist and professional photographer, Elena Kulikova adds new dimensions to her images by growing crystals directly onto her photographs, creating a multi-faceted and explosive visual experience. In this fascinating expansion of her already eye-popping visual aesthetic, Kulikova transforms the ordinary into the supernatural, bringing together the human and the elemental in an exhibit as breath-taking as it is thought-provoking.
Crystallize will be open to the public during the First Fridays Art Murmur this September 5th from 6-10 PM. Stop by the gallery for a chance to see the photographer-turned-alchemist’s crystallized dream-world, and enjoy local craft beer and sausages from Commonwealth Cafe in the beer garden. Following the September 5th event, Crystallize will be open until September 21st on Saturdays from 1-5 PM.
