Gallery Night Exhibit
July 16th, 2009
Abandoned
Robyn Rowles
Anthony Champa
Providence, RI – July 16, 2009 –
The Hotel Providence is thrilled to be showcasing two acclaimed photographers for their July Gallery Night. The exhibited work is based on the common theme of abandoned places, both rural and urban. The images are haunting, vacant, affecting, yet beautifully and poignantly preserved within the lens.
Robyn Rowles has been creating fine art photos for 5 years professionally. However, she has been taking pictures since she was a young child. Her love of photography comes from her father, Jim, who was her first, and best, teacher.
Over the years Robyn has traveled all over the world taking various fine art pictures that comprise her extensive portfolio. In 2006, she opened Robyn Rowles Photography Gallery, Studio & Cafe in the New Town area of Edinburgh, Scotland. In 2008, Robyn joined the Edinburgh Zoo on a delegation trip they took to China to secure the Giant Panda at the Zoo. As a result of that trip her photos were featured on the front page of Scotland's leading newspaper, The Scotsman, as well as being used by the BBC and news agencies worldwide.
Robyn’s exhibit for Galley Night will include a series of houses in the rural southern United States that have been abandoned. These pictures capture the chaos, loss and sadness of lives forever changed by unknown circumstances. Robyn is presently developing a book based on this subject titled ‘Secondhand Serenade’.
Anthony Champa is a graduate of Parson School of Design. His photography and multi-media work has been shown internationally.
In this exhibition he is showing a number of photographs from two separate bodies of work, each a study in the entropic nature of abandoned urban spaces. In studying single-use spaces, schools, hospitals, police stations and the like after they are no longer needed, he raises questions regarding the actual meanings of interior spaces when they are seen as having no further purpose to serve.
These two series of photographs, shown for the first time together represent the remarkable similarities extant across a broad cultural gap. One project was completed as a study in the abandoned Soviet era architecture still remaining in Leipzig, Germany. The other project, achieved with the assistance of the office of Mayor David Cicilline reflects on the vacant Police and Fire station that once stood in downtown Providence.
The exhibit will be available to the public for two weeks beginning with the July 16th opening.

Robyn's photography is featured, exclusively in Prince's Hill Deli. However, during the months of February, March and April they will be featuring the work of her children's photography classes! These beautiful pictures are well worth the trip!
