Cleveland, OH
(de) constructed: Multiple exposure photography by Don Pavlish and encaustic wax paintings by Dawn Tekler
The public is invited to visit (de) constructed, which opens at Dawn Tekler Studio located in the 78th Street Studio Complex ste. 113, Third Friday, May 20, 2016 5pm-9pm with a closing reception on Friday, June 17 from 5pm-9pm. The show features landscape exploration in two different mediums and view points.
Don Pavlish’s photographic technique of exposing the same frame of film multiple times allows him to create an altered reality that invites the viewer into the surreal world he has crafted. Using expired film and vintage equipment, Don creates multiple exposures in the camera, opening himself up to those “serendipitous accidents” when overlapping images reveal something greater than the sum of their parts.
Dawn Tekler’s paintings find their inspiration in Northeast Ohio’s steel mills’ sense of history, power and energy. She pushes the limits of composition by stripping down what is minimally necessary to convey her vision while exploring color and texture without restraint. The depth and transparency in her paintings are a direct result of her innovative use of encaustic wax.
78th Street Studios is the largest art and design complex in Northeast Ohio, featuring 170,000 square feet of art galleries, artist studios, performance spaces, and music recording studios.

Dawn Tekler is a visual artist based in Cleveland, Ohio. Her encaustic paintings started as a departure from her photography as she found photographing a literal scene unsatisfactory. Wanting more, she began investigating the deconstruction of the photography. This experimentation has led her to her current passion of painting with encaustic wax. Tekler’s work has been exhibited regionally and has been featured in publications such as, Cleveland Magazine, Studio Visit Magazine , Cleveland Scene, and Northern Ohio Live. She studied at the Cleveland Institute of Art and was awarded a B.F.A. in photography.
