Gallery 2622 Presents Deone Jahnke

Gallery 2622 Presents:

Crafted with light, texture and tone, the photographic assemblages of photographer Deone Jahnke will be exhibited in August at Gallery 2622, in Wauwatosa. The exhibition opens with a reception on Friday evening, August 7, from 6PM to 9PM with special guest performer, Heidi Spencer.

]Deone’s imagery is built from photographs depicting mysterious locales, curious still life arrangements, as well bits of musical and artistic ephemera. The images are layered with textures and text, patterns and shapes. Quotes are sometimes woven into the imagery and tiny bits of words or phrases become simple graphic elements. Shapes echo and repeat; light and shadows dance. Onto the original and beautiful world of the image, another world is assembled.  Mysteriously, the worlds emerge and recede – beckoning the viewer to engage.

A fine artist and a commercial photographer, working in the arts and entertainment industries, Deone’s assemblages are seen in commercial applications as well as on gallery walls.   Recent commissions include a set of illustrative images for the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra’s upcoming season.

 

Based in her hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Deone also works regularly in the arts and music community in Nashville, Tennessee, where she recently opened a second studio workspace.  Her commercial work for the music industry has been published internationally.

 

Gallery 2622 is located at 2622 N. Wauwatosa Avenue, Wauwatosa, WI, 53213. The exhibition runs through September 1.  Special extended gallery hours on Saturday August 8th will run from 10AM to 4PM. You can also check out Heidi Spencer’s website at http://www.myspace.com/heidileighspencer.
