Art vs. Life

A Hidden Treasure at last Seen

Thursday Evening August 2 at 6 pm Ron Meservey , a fine photographer from Chatham a life long resident of Cape Cod will show his up to now hidden but gorgeous black and white photographs of the last thirty years.  These are all from private collectors now offered for viewing for two weeks.   We feel very priviledged to show these works at The Studio on Slough Road, 75 Slough Road, Brewster.  

These beautiful photographs have never been shown before to the public, they have been gathered from private collections and homes.  He is a 1958 graduate of the New York School of Fine Photography and a life long resident of Cape Cod.  He built his own dark room and has assembled a great collection of large and medium format Cameras.  He  will speak about his passion form this medium.  Come join us at 6 for a small wine and cheese reception and see these unknown but beautiful treasures.

Artist Kathleen Sidwell will talk a small bit about the use of Black and White photography in Contemporary Art.   Learn a bit about the work of Annie Lebowitz, Herb Ritts, George Dereaux, Sally Mann, Jock Sturges and Joel Peter-Witkin.

Ron has captured Cape Cod in some striking and haunting light.  These are true gems and will hang for two short weeks.  Come see his collection of Cameras and just enjoy a summer evening with us on Slough Road.

The mystery and magic of Cape Cod summer evokes such reverie for many, like the works  Edward Hopper, Ron has used the amazing northern summer light to illuminate his works, come see as he goes through about thirty years of images the magic he leaves behind in these photos for us all to give  meaning to this fragile, beautiful, vanishing way of life, the historic Cape.

"A picture is worth a thousand words" yes, but these truly stand on their own.  Go to our website for directions www.studioonsloughroad.com.  The works are not for sale, but you will love seeing them.  Join us Thursday.  One more of  Cape Cod's one of a kind neighbors, Ron Meservey.
