Rockwood/Reva May/Rock and Roll - Opens August 20th
The Gallerie 333 staff of Toledo School for the Arts have coupled an unlikely duo of fine art photographers to bring August visitors an intimate and intense look into all things rock from 1960 to today.
John Rockwood began his career in photography after being heavily influenced by the blues resurgence led by British bands such as The Yardbirds and The Rolling Stones in the 1960s. Being an ambitious young man with a camera, Rockwood gained backstage access to many concerts and photographed musicians on and off stage. Rockwood’s photography has been featured on numerous album covers, in books about Muddy Waters, Bill Wyman, Waylon Jennings, and consistently showcased in Living Blues, one of the most durable chronicles of the blues experience.
Reva May is a self-taught photographer, also from Toledo, Ohio. May specializes in music and portrait photography. With a documentary approach, she delivers raw and emotional moments from artists and everyday life. Reva’s work has been published in Alternative Press, AMP Magazine, LIKE Magazine, Substream Music Press and Stitched Sound Magazine. Her portfolio includes powerful black and white imagery from prominent punk, rock, alternative and indie shows.
