OPENING RECEPTION
APRIL 26 FROM 6:30 TO 8:30 PM

Luminous features recent artworks by Alexis Howard and Dylan Bannister which seek to highlight the serendipitous beauty in the everyday. Both artists utilize photography as a tool to capture instantaneous moments, offering new perspectives on ordinary objects and spaces. Using their images as the genesis for creative exploration, Alexis and Dylan challenge conventional photographic presentation methods through their use of unique substrates and interdisciplinary techniques.

Using her photos as journal entries, Alexis’ works highlight the softness and beauty of the natural world, and are displayed through alternative photographic processes and printmaking techniques.

Dylan’s images give prominence to derelict utilitarian fixtures and buildings, which he presents as pigment transfers on panels that are further pushed using mixed media processes and collage / assemblage.

Alexis Howard and Dylan Bannister are an artist pair based in Rock Hill, SC who both work in photo-based imagery and mixed-media processes. For over 12 years, Alexis and Dylan have grown together as artists, learning from one another and influencing each other’s creative trajectory. In the Summer of 2024, the pair opened Gentle Reminders Studio – a working creative space that enables them to foster their creative practice and connect with the Rock Hill community.

The exhibition will be on display through May 17 and will be open by appointment. To learn more or to schedule a viewing, email dylanbannisterportfolio@gmail.com.

Luminous is part of the 2025 Organizer Series at Hodges Taylor which is programmed from a selection of proposals received through an open call for projects.
