Program: “Rust Rapture” by Johnny Stevens
A native of Lenoir, North Carolina, Johnny Stevens attended Fleming College in Florence, Italy, where he studied painting, drawing and photography. After earning a psychology degree from Wake Forest University, he arrived in Austin to attend graduate school at the University of Texas Radio TV and Film Program. In 1982, Johnny founded HORIZON Film & Video – an Austin based corporate film and video production company. In 2010, he sold the company to focus full time on photography, his true passion. In the last 15 years Johnny has focused on architectural photography while also enjoying adding imagery to his abstract photography collections known for bold composition and attention to light. His favorite abstract collection is called “Rust Rapture”
“When I attended my first ‘rat rod’ and custom car show in Austin, I was blown away by the spectacular beauty of the cars’ organic finishes. These cars are hotrods whose exterior finishes have been subjected to a beating by harsh elements – rain, heat and occasionally an owner’s belt sander. The blend of old paint and rust produces a stunning patina which I capture through my photography to create a special collection called “Rust Rapture.”
