The unique visions of transient local photographers, Heather Talbert and Jeffrey Irwin will be exhibited in the Design District on Saturday September 13, 2008. 'Just Kiss,' the title for Talberts exhibit, features the art of affection among various relationships in South Beach. Irwin's photographs, titled, 'There is no such thing as a bad Dutch painting,' are inspired by the perfection of still life paintings done by the Dutch Masters of the 17th century, with a slight twist.
The photographs will be on display in the Buena Vista Building, 180 N.E. 39 St., in Suite 112 from 7 p.m. until 10 p.m.
