The Asher Love Gallery, a local photography studio and gallery featuring work by Asher Mendonsa—Asher Love is his chosen artist’s name—is located in the same building as Pasha Coffee and Blacksmith’s Bistro and Bar at 3914 St. Elmo Ave. Mary Barnett met with me recently to discuss their upcoming exhibitions.
“The Resolution will be Photographed!” is an open call for submissions to the Gallery, asking artists to submit photos that convey their new year’s resolution: a truly original beginning to the new decade. Please contact Mary at the Gallery to discuss your submissions.
“Breast as Brush” will open in February, featuring colorful renditions of breasts to express the beauty of all shapes and sizes of this feminine feature too often ravaged by cancer and surgery related to breast cancer. A press release from the gallery's blog explains the process and the event:
In order to bring about a more holistic view of self, Breast Cancer Survivors were invited to participate in a painting experience. The Body as Brush group held painting sessions at the Rivoli Art Mill in November, December, and January.
The resulting paintings are the work of these survivors and their friends…The collection of these works of art on paper and canvas [will] be sold at a silent auction to support a local team participating in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure walking event.
This Valentine’s weekend, come to the Breast as Brush exhibit auction and reception on Monday, February 15th from 6–8 p.m. at Asher Love Gallery to support ... the fight against breast cancer.
Asher himself specializes in model photography, and his work is always on display at the Gallery. Some of his photographs are featured above. The gallery is open Thursday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. To contact the Asher Love Gallery, call (423) 822-0289, or email asherlovegallery@gmail.com.
