On March 5^th, the Reed Photo-Art Gallery, opened its doors to a special show at entitled, "Figure Studies and Body Art, a photography contest." This exhibit attracted some of Colorado’s finest photographers –all on display in one location.

Each artist, applied his or her own unique vision, using the human figure for inspiration. The works are primarily nudes. The photographers utilized their own specialties, techniques and style, making for an impressively diverse selection.  Some of the artists include:

      Tyler Stableford, a world renowned adventure photographer

      Kathryn Levi , known for her stunning shots of Denver’s architecture

     Wendi Schneider, a master with a Victorian feel

      Vincent Serbin, a collage artist, awarded a N.Y.  Foundation for the Art  fellowship grant

       Candice Burg, a whimsical photographer who is brilliant at capturing the human form

 Candice Burg won the grand prize, Kathryn Levi coming in 2^nd and Vincent Serbin taking 3^rd place. The work overall,was of an extremely high caliber.

Burg's winning image is extremely unusual and fresh. As Rachel Gomez, judge for this competition stated, "It is difficult to find something that hasn't already been done when it comes to nudes." Rachel knew immediately that Burg had done just that.

 There has been so much demand and interest in the show, which was scheduled to close at the end of March; the gallery has now extended the exhibit until the end of April – lucky for us.

For anyone who is visiting Denver or for us locals, this is a must see for those who love the photographic arts. Be sure to visit the gallery between the hours of 10:00am-6:00pm, Tuesday through Saturday. The gallery is closed on Sundays and Mondays. There will be a special opening on the first Friday of April (April 2^nd) from 10:00am – 10:00pm.
