Castell Photography
Castell Photography, owned by internationally
recognized artist Brie Castell, is a unique
photographic Salon & Gallery dedicated solely to photo
based media. We Showcase one-of-a-kind and 19th
century print processes, and offer a range of
personalized photographic services. The gallery
features the work of Brie Castell, and also hosts
several rotating exhibitions each year of other
talented photographers.
Current Exhibitions:
The
gallery is now featuring the work of owner Brie
Castell. As a photographic artist for more than a
decade, Brie has created a range of works that explore
the concepts of identity, self, and the intimate
relationships of her personal life. See images that
span 10 years, and showcase her ability to use a
variety of photographic methods, mixed media, and
surface alteration. The exhibition features two major
bodies of work, REFLECTion and
Performances.
Hochhalter's series, The Reclamation of Silver, is
an aesthetic exploration of the remnants of her own
production as a photographer working with wet
processes. The artist is interested in exploring how
traditional photographic processes as well as
experimental processes can be utilized to create a
richer translation of digital imagery by imbuing it
with a sense of materiality.
Mixon's work goes beyond mere representation of the
subject at hand--the presentation is often constructed
in such a way that it creates an alternate context for
both the objects and places in which she photographs.
Mixon also uses a great deal of symbolism in her work
to represent things, feelings, or ideas that are not
visible or tangible in reality.

Pura Vida
Engaging Photography by Brett Ryabik,
"My Own Body,".
Please join us at 39 Biltmore Avenue
of works by Brett Ryabik. Brett has a BS in Biochemistry
and a Medical Doctorate in Psychiatry.
But his passion is nude photography,
often with a twist.
Artist Statement
Generally speaking, my work has
attempted to communicate complex themes
involving life struggles with
circumstance, relationships, addiction,
mental illness, psychological growth and
recovery through the vehicles of light,
shadow and form. Albeit admittedly
cryptic at times these media used in the
context of human nudity and corporal
expression can be a powerful metaphor
when trying to viscerally convey
intensely affect-laden material. Even
at their most basic level gentle curves
and diffused light and shadows promote a
sense of calm and ease while more specular light and angular forms can
incite apprehension or anxiety.
The Pura Vida Gallery, is a 1,000
square foot exhibition space, located at
39 Biltmore Avenue, in the middle of
downtown Asheville. We are open
12pm-10pm seven days a week. For more
information please contact Charlie
Kesler at 828.439.5451 or

Woolworth Walk
“Nature Merging” F.W. Front Gallery at
Woolworth Walk
Opening Reception: Friday February 5,
2010 from 4-6 p.m.
Show Dates: February 1-27, 2010
Artists: Diana Christian: Paintings
Christina Serra: Paintings and Felt Art
For the month of February the F.W.
Gallery at Woolworth Walk will feature
the work of local artists Christina
Serra and Diana Christian in the show
Nature Merging. Felt artist Christina
Serra was first inspired to begin
felting in 2007 after visiting the
Animal Fiber Fair at the Agricultural
Center. She says that “Needle felting is
like painting a picture. I use carded
and dyed wool fibers as my paint, and
barbed needles as my brush.” Christina
creates colorful felt wall hangings
often of nature scenes and figures
ranging from people and animals to
festive pumpkins and Christmas trees.
Painter Diana Christian works
predominantly with acrylic paint and
adds realism to her work through shadows
and detail. She nearly always paints
from photographs a family member takes,
which for Diana adds a personal
connection to the piece. Come to the
opening reception on February 5th from
4-6 p.m. to meet Christina and Diana and
experience the art of nature merging
through paint and felt.
Please contact me for more information
about the artist.
