JR Harke Photography Exhibiting at January 2010 Fairfax Art League Show

The January 2010 show at the Fairfax Art League's Village Plaza Gallery in Fairfax, Virginia includes figure work presented by Jerry Harke, an internationally acclaimed photographer from Northern Virginia. "This month's theme at the gallery focuses on figure art. But attendees expecting to see nude figure art may be surprised. the figure art theme, oddly enough, has to do with the more unexpected uses of that word," Harke said. "Nevertheless, I make excellent use of the beautiful figures presented by five lovely models I've had the honor to work with in recent years.

Harke’s work is widely varied in the five images on display starting January 8 at the league’s Village Plaza Gallery in Fairfax, Virginia.

The first image, called Edwardian Lawn Dress is from the cover of a book published in 2007 by the same name. Another image titled In Dreams features Northern Virginia model, Renee Woodward. The photograph was shot on the Caribbean island of St. Martin.

Another image from St. Martin also on display at the gallery is titled The Dancer and features New York model Rashika Pickett. The fifth and final image is called Palo Duro Canyon and features New Mexico model Stephanie Landers. "That image," Harke says, "was shot in the Palo Duro Canyon where Stephanie Landers was performing in the outdoor musical, TEXAS!"

Harke says, "I especially enjoy showing my art at the Village Plaza Gallery in Fairfax, Virginia. The league is comprised of a wonderful group of artists who have extended a warm welcome and the patrons who visit the gallery have been very complimentary."

Located in the heart of old-town Fairfax with a host of exciting new stores and top-notch eateries surrounding it, the Village Plaza Gallery is found in an area that is a perfect place to shop, eat and enjoy art.
