"In Your Face" Art Featured at MOCA DC's February Show


JR Harke Photography, Inc. is showing seven pieces of art at the MOCA DC Art Gallery in Georgetown during the month of February, 2010.

The theme of the show is “In Your Face Art.” Commenting on his work in the show, Jerry Harke, owner of JR Harke Photography, Inc. and Marigot Publishing House, Inc., said, “The theme of the show calls for an abstract approach to presenting art. Some of the pieces I'm showing are from a photo shoot I did in Los Angeles with model Meghan Monroe. Others were recreations of special moments from the Crazy Horse Review at Las Vegas. All of the images have been presented as pop art with some wild and crazy lines and colors. The net effect is that attention is achieved with bright colors and odd perspectives causing the viewer to become interested and remain engaged.”
Dave Quammen, Executive Director at MOCA DC said, “This exhibit is wide open to the artist's interpretation. We encourage an abstract approach and many of the pieces on exhibit follow that idea. I was particularly interested to see how Jerry Harke would approach the concept because his art is most often based in realism. I was very pleasantly surprised when I saw the work he contributed and I encourage everyone to visit the gallery this month to see all the work that's on display from many local artists. We have a terrific show this month."
