Limitless View: Stefan Chinov & Craig Lloyd
May 11-June 16, 2012
LIMITLESS VIEW: STEFAN CHINOV AND CRAIG LLOYD opens on May 11th to coincide with Dayton’s downtown celebration, URBAN NIGHTS.
Limitless. The word evokes a panoramic sequence of boundless destinies and infinite phenomena. In Limitless View, Stefan Chinov and Craig Lloyd explore
divergent methods of understanding and re-thinking limitless landscapes-both real and imagined.
Primarily a sculptor and draftsman, Stefan Chinov’s new work was inspired by his recent residency on the Bulgarian, Chilean, Spanish and Russian bases of Antarctica. Chinov imprints the Antarctic landscapes with sculptural
installations in ice and volcanic ash and documents its untouched vastness in photographs and video that underscore its mythic presence. Chinov, born in Bulgaria, lives in Dayton and is currently an Assistant Professor at Wright State University.
Craig Lloyd’s paintings of landscapes in central and southern Ohio and northern Kentucky capture the sensation of stopping to take in the view. Working in the field or developing images further in the studio, Lloyd optimizes light, atmosphere and seasonal changes to create an idealized version of contemporary frontiers where open space has become a commodity. Lloyd lives in Cincinnati and is an Associate Professor at the College of Mt. St. Joseph.
Join us at DVAC on May 11, Downtown Dayton’s Urban Nights for the opening of this remarkable exhibition.
