John Chervinsky Emerging Photographer Scholarship
January 28 – March 18, 2014
Opening reception February 11, 2014 from 6 – 7:30 PM.
Sean Sullivan has been photographing "old school hot rods, muscle cars, custom and classic cars" for well over a decade. The bold colors and clean lines of the classic car scene drew him to local car cruise nights during his summers and to various auto shows.
A series of Sullivan's photographs, Classic Style, is featured at the Griffin Museum at Aberjona River Gallery in Winchester, MA, January 28 through March 18, 2014. An opening reception with the artist will take place on February 11, 2014 from 6 – 7:30 PM.
Simultaneously, Panopticon Gallery in Boston is featuring six of Sullivan's images in its emerging artist gallery.
The Griffin Museum of Photography has produced a catalog to accompany Sullivan's exhibition. After the exhibition at the Aberjona Gallery, Sullivan's photographs will move to the Griffin's Gallery at the Cambridge Homes in Cambridge, MA from March 25 – May 20, 2014.
"I am drawn to a car's intricate details," says Sullivan. "I truly believe the details set the cars apart from each other." He adds, "By using the frame to compose images that possess a strong graphic quality, I am enabling the viewer to focus in on these incredible details that otherwise go unnoticed."
Sean is a Boston-based photographer and a graduate of Northeastern University. His work has been featured in the Improper Bostonian Magazine and Northeastern University Magazine. He specializes in location photography for events, editorial and fine art clients.

Amy Rindskopf's Terra Novus
At the market, I pick each one up, pulled in by the shapes as they sit together, waiting. I feel its heft in my hand, enjoy the textures of the skin or peel, and begin to look closer and closer. The patterns on each individual surface marks them as distinct. I push further still, discovering territory unseen by the casual observer, a new land. I am like a satellite orbiting a distant planet, taking the first-ever images of this newly envisioned place.
This project started as an homage to Edward Weston's Pepper No. 30 (I am, ironically, allergic to peppers). As I looked for my subject matter at the market, I found that I wasn't drawn to just one single fruit or vegetable. There were so many choices, appealing to both hand and eye. I decided to print in black and white to help make the images visually more about the shapes, and not about guessing which fruit is smoothest, which vegetable is greenest.
Artistic Purpose/Intent
Photography has been paramount in my personal path of healing from disease and
connecting with consciousness. The intention of my work is to overcome the limits of the
mind and engage the spirit. Like a Zen koan, my images are paradoxes hidden in plain
sight. They are intended to be sat with meditatively, eventually revealing greater truths
about the world and about one's self.
John Chervinsky's photography is a testament to pensive work without simple answers;
it connects by encouraging discovery and altering perspectives. I see this scholarship
as a potential to continue his legacy and evolve the boundaries of how photography can
explore the human condition.
Growing my artistic skill and voice as an emerging photographer is critical, I see this as
a rare opportunity to strengthen my foundation and transition towards an established
and influential future. I am thirsty to engage viewers and provide a transformative
experience through my work. I have been honing my current project and building a plan
for its complete execution. The incredible Griffin community of mentors and the
generous funds would be instrumental for its development. I deeply recognize the
hallmark moment this could be for the introduction of the work. Thank you for providing
this incredible opportunity for budding visions and artists that know they have something
greater to share with the world.
