Phillip Periman’s photographs of Paris to comprise exhibit at AC

Amarillo native Phillip Periman has been exploring photography “compulsively” since 1989 and says his subject matter includes everything he sees: people, landscapes, street scenes, and whatever else shows up in front of his lens.

Those stellar photographs then tend to show up in collections far and wide – from the Amarillo Museum of Art to the Denver Art Museum, the Houston Museum of Fine Art, the Yale University Art Gallery, and numerous private collections.

Amarillo College is pleased to announce that some excellent examples of Periman’s work will next be presented at the Southern Light Gallery on the Washington Street Campus.

Periman’s exhibit, Prevalent Paris, features his photographs of the French capital and will be on display from March 11 through April 25.

The Southern Light Gallery, which is located on the first floor of the Ware Student Commons, is free and open to the public.

Periman, who established his IC Gallery in Amarillo in 2001, has produced pictures using a variety of media, from dye transfer and silver gelatin prints to digital inkjet printing.

He also is a published poet and has written three books: “The Attribute of the Eternal: The City Churches of Christopher Wrenn,” “The Floor Show,” and “Those Responsible Forget.”
