Hank Paper may have given his photograph the perfect title. Another Brand New Day is on one level just a normal street scene in Italy, but its vivid colors and warm light are almost supernaturally delicious. Paper finds the ecstasy in the everyday, and with it, a palpable sense of hope.
Paper’s photograph is part of“Renewal,” the show running now through Feb. 4 at Kehler Liddell Gallery on Whalley Avenue in Westville. The juried show asked artists to consider the following statement:“Renewal is a driving force of life. It is: spring growth. a new moon. the act of beginning again. replacing something that is worn out, run-down or broken. the process of reinvention. finding hope. how have you observed and experienced renewal?”
