History & Romance, on view at SLATE contemporary from January 6 through February 28, presents three contemporary artists, Carol Inez Charney, Christy Lee Rogers, and Carlos Gamez de Francisco, who use historical painting as a jumping off point for creating contemporary photography that inspires awe and wonder. Through a mastery of their medium, these three artists ask us to take closer look at the historical and romanticized images embedded in our cultural consciousness, while questioning what art is, and how we as viewers, experience it.

Join us for the Opening Reception on First Friday, January 6, from 5–8pm
