New exhibition at the Colour Factory Gallery opening this Thursday

Allan Kleiman
Colour Factory Gallery
Urban Archaeology- reconstructing the present
Opening Thursday March 4, 6-8pm

Exhibition runs from March 4-20, 2010

Allan, a successful commercial photographer for many years, has recently turned his passion for photography into the pursuit of fine art. This body of work presents the graphic beauty of the everyday, illustrating and recording degrees of urban decoration and decay. Mostly shot in the familiar streets of Melbourne, Allan invites the viewer to imagine and interpret these ‘discoveries’ in the same way that an archaeologist discovers the remains of ancient civilizations and reconstructs what life was like.
