Spark Arts is thrilled to host artist and photographer, Billy Douglas, for our October exhibition. A longtime resident of the community, Billy is sharing photographs from many phases in his artistic career.
A Word from the Artist: "My first experience behind the camera was at the Louisville Zoo, while on a 5th-grade field trip with my class from Mercer County Elementary School. With my Polaroid Swinger, I photographed two seals swimming in a concrete pool. From then on, I knew reality was subjective and could be rearranged...
...In 1980, I drove across country in a Dodge station wagon, on my way to San Francisco. I found work as a photographer's assistant, and began to learn the craft of commercial photography. The world seemed to open up to me, and I reveled in it. Man Ray, Andy Warhol, Robert Frank, and punk rock played a big role.
I began to work with alternative film processing, Polaroid transfer images and other pre-digital photographic techniques in my fine art work. Digital technology brought sweeping changes and fundamentally changed the idea of image creation. In my new work, I use everything I have learned to further define my art.
Photography has enabled me to see parts of the world I could only imagine. I know I have done my best when the images have the ring of truth. Sometimes joyful, some times tragic...it goes on and on." - Billy Douglas
Join us on October 5th from 6-9PM to meet the man behind the lens and stroll the rest of the neighborhood on the self-guided Castro Art Walk!
