ARTtalk: Photographer Richard Knapp
Our current exhibit features the work of Richard (Richie) Knapp. Richie is an amazing photographer that had a tremendous body of work. Together Richard, Jac and I came up with a through line to focus the exhibit and after much hard work mapping it out and Richie not sleeping to get it all done, we are excited to bring you “Out of Fashion”. One of the last things that we had to do was ask Richard a few questions and he was kind enough to answer:
You chose the title “Out of fashion”- why that title and what does it mean to you? The title “Out of Fashion” was chosen for this show because all of the work in it was created from fashion shoots. Some of the featured images were created to just be overlaid layers onto fashion photographs or to be still lifes on the pages next to fashion…. in the end, I felt many of these images were strong enough to stand on their own as art. Art from fashion, “Out of Fashion”.
Art talk: Painter/Photographer Roni Stretch
Roni Stretch is currently showing for the third time at Canvas and what else can we say, we really appreciate who he is as a person, as an artist and we love his family. His work is incredible and we are once again proud to have him showing starting May 1st with Earth Works; A collection of paintings and photographs (his first showing of his photography at Canvas). Funny side note – google image Roni Stretch Artist and a photo of Salma Hayek in Canvas for his show comes up – not bad, not bad at all I would say 
When is art good in your opinion? When it is made by choice, when it is honest, when it has a purpose, when it causes the viewer to think or feel, when it contains within it, the possibility of failure, when it is made if money were not in the equation.
Why are you so camera shy that we had to do a written interview? It’s my English accent, easier to understand this way, plus gives me time to sound as if I know what I’m talking about.
Art talk: Photographer Richard Knapp
You all probably know Marie “the hammer” from Canvas , but let us introduce you to her brother Richard Knapp (www.richardknapp.com). Richard is an incredible guy and an amazing photographer whose images you have browsed in various fashion publications over the years. When Marie brought his latest shoot ” Black White ” to our attention we were very intrigued by the concept and thought you might be as well. Of course we had a few questions and Richard was gracious enough to answer.
