Sun Staff ReportsAs part of the Alameda Second

Friday Art Walk on Park Street, Artistic Home Studio and Boutique, located at 1419 Park St., will display an exhibition of photographs by Tanya Knoop opening tomorrow, Friday, Aug. 8.

Born in Mallorca and raised in San Francisco, Knoop is a third-generation photographer and has been taking and developing pic-tures for decades. Her photograph-ic work extends from portraiture and fine-art nudes to landscape and true representation of artwork.

Her current passion is making pro-vocative still-life images inspired by renaissance painters.

This exhibition features two series that find inspiration in still-life paintings of the 16th and 17th centuries with respect to composi-tion and symbolism. The symbol-ism is derived through the artist’s relationship to the subjects, which are exquisitely radiant in life and in death, profoundly meaningful and meaningless at the same time.
