Mixed media photographic work by photographer Caroline Minchew for her solo exhibition, Vernal, at Candela Gallery in Richmond, Virginia

Candela is excited to open the calendar year with photographic exhibitions by artist and educator, Priya Kambli and recent VCU Photo MFA graduate, Caroline Minchew.

In Caroline Minchew's Vernal series, large, dark, monochromatic imagery of swamplands initially reference a history of Southern photography, rewarding closer inspection with sedimentary layers of charcoals and pigments. These works are the artist's photographic retelling of the scientific observation of a specific forest ecosystem. 

Join us for an opening reception for these solo shows this Friday, January 6, from 5-8pm. This exhibition will be on view through Saturday, February
