Jack Leigh and Parker Stewart exhibit opens in Savannah

An exhibition titled "Jack Leigh & Parker Stewart: In Place" has opened at Laney Contemporary in Savannah, featuring black-and-white photographs by Jack Leigh (1948–2004) and Parker Stewart (b. 1992). Both artists document the landscape and communities of the coastal South, with Leigh known for his work on oystermen, shrimp boat crews, and Gullah Geechee communities, and Stewart focusing on tidal landscapes of coastal Georgia and the Savannah River Basin. The show includes serendipitous parallels, such as nearly identical photographs of a water tower taken by each artist decades apart. Co-curated by Stewart and gallerist Susan Laney, it marks the first time Leigh's work has been exhibited alongside a living photographer in nearly a decade.

Eye opening: Artist speaks through the eyes in his artwork

Alexandre Emmanuel Henrique, a Brazilian-born artist now living in Cary, North Carolina, has a solo exhibition titled "BraFro" at the Waterworks Visual Arts Center in Salisbury. The show is part of the gallery's larger exhibit "ART from ALL Perspectives." Henrique's paintings explore his family history, particularly the story of his great-grandmother, who was enslaved in Brazil after being brought from Africa. The works use eyes as a central motif to convey emotion and narrative, ranging from sorrow to joy, with titles like "Sorrow" and "Once Upon a Time." Henrique works primarily in oils, and many pieces were created specifically for this exhibition.
