Homoeroticism, fetishism, fashion, and nightlife frolic are only a few themes that, photographer, Valyn Calhoun incorporates into his elegant and highly stylized imagery. Curator, Rolando Chang Barrero, of ActivistArtistA Gallery has cherry picked quite possibly the most controversial artist in South Florida for his next exhibition.
Included among the images chosen for the Valyn Calhoun: Retrospective includes a series of erotic self-portraits, as well as selected portraits with the photographer as muse by Rita Baum.  Expected to be this summers most attended exhibition, two opening dates have been organized. The exhibition will open on August 22 and run through September 27, 2013
Here is a wonderful video interview of Rolando.  Take a few minutes to listen as he explains not only about this exhibit, but his philosophy of art and life.
