City Calendar

The Newport Beach City Arts Commission presents an exhibition of photography by artist Diana Ghoukassian, on display at the Newport Beach Central Library gallery.

"I paint with my lens. Whether taking a picture of an architectural site, a person or a landscape, I always have the canvas in mind. I do not, however, have the luxury of the painter positioning the object or taking her time since most of my pictures are shot from a moving vehicle or simply catching a fleeting moment. I have no control over the object or the scene and have to work with whatever I’m dealt. My tool is the camera, but am I a photographer? Imperfections are very much part of my art.”

The exhibition will be on display during library operating hours, November 2, 2018 through January 4, 2019.
