Emma Overman makes silent film imagery talk! The new exhibition at AV Framing Gallery in Historic Fountain Square features themes from Overman’s imagination when her characters connect with black and white silent film.
“This body of work is inspired by movies, particularly black and white and silent film. The images in these films seem more vibrant to me than the full-color pictures of today. I love the glow that radiates from the screen and all the subtleties of grey. I also love the expressiveness of the characters in silent film. The creation of characters is one of the most fun aspects of my work, and I enjoy the challenge of telling a story through their expressions.”
Hurry in during April; this is a limited engagement and will only be on view for just over 3 weeks! If you follow Overman’s work, you will want to see these brand new pieces.
