Elsewhere: A Solo Exhibition by Kevin Van Aelst

July 10, 2012 - PRLog -- Kevin Van Aelst’s, “artwork is an attempt to reconcile [his] physical surroundings with the fears,
fascinations, curiosities, and daydreams occupying [his] mind.” Elsewhere, the newest solo exhibition
at The Center for Fine Art Photography, is a whimsical exhibition that invites the viewer to experience
everyday objects in a new light. “This work is about creating order where we expect to find
randomness, and also hints that the minutiae all around us is capable of communicating much larger
ideas, states Van Aelst.
Kevin Van Aelst was born in Elmira New York and grew up in central Pennsylvania. He has received a
B.A. in psychology from Cornell University and an M.F.A. in photography from the University of
Hartford. He has taught photography courses at the Hartford Art School, Middlesex Community
College, Quinnipiac University, and currently at the ACES/Educational Center for the Arts in New Haven,
Connecticut. He is a 2008 recipient of the Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism fellowship
grant. He has been commissioned to create artwork for such publications as Time, Wired, GQ, Business
Week, Fast Company, and Scientific American. His photo illustrations appeared weekly as part of The
Medium in the New York Times Magazine from 2007 to 2010.
