John Vias wanders around in the dark taking pictures. His award-winning night photography has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in galleries and other art venues. He is currently seeking representation.
Prints of all images are available unmounted, matted, and framed, in several sizes. Check my website for pricing and other details.
Vias’s work has won awards in juried shows and has been reprinted in the press. It hangs in public, private, and corporate collections in the U.S. and abroad.
John Vias (rhymes with “bias”) was born in Evanston, Illinois. He earned a Certificate in Photography from University of California Berkeley Extension and a B.A. from the University of Florida. He lives and works in Berkeley, California.
John Vias "I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn't photograph them." —Diane Arbus (US photographer, 1923-1971)
My work keeps getting more abstract. Strong lines, unusual shapes, and expanses of color draw my eye, and the purpose and history of these structures add to the mystery. These images are a bit like color field paintings.
