George A. Pastic

A Light Affair, From the Collection of Lynne Griffin

June 3 to June 30, 2023

Through his lens-based practice, George A. Pastic (1927-2014) re-imagined photographic techniques of a by-gone era. His soft-focus treatment, shallow depth of field and diffused filtering infer a longing space and sentimental stance. In 1974, Pastic produced a short film titled The Violin. The film promoted peace and understanding through the power of music and inter-generational exchange of knowledge. His project earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Live Action Short the following year. For many years, Lynne Griffin was a source of artistic inspiration for Pastic. Selected from her private collection, Griffin publicly offers these figurative studies to contemplate temporal passages in the gaze of an altered world.
