photo-eye Gallery is excited to announce Steve Fitch:
American Motel Signs 1980 – 2018, an online solo exhibition by renowned photographer Steve Fitch. This exhibition corresponds with Fitch's recent photobook
American Motel Signs II 1980 - 2018, published by The Velvet Cell.
In
American Motel Signs, Steve Fitch documents the changing landscape, capturing the bright neon motel signs littered across long highway expanses throughout the West.
The delightful photographs in this series, map out Fitch’s extensive journey to seek out a typology of visual relics that are quickly fading into the American collective memory. For Fitch, these motel signs carry an unquestionable enchantment in their folk originality — the blocky fonts and garish designs. His work is a road trip to the past, down lonesome highways where these emblems of roadside American culture, despite their declining numbers, still remain.
Steve Fitch:
American Motel Signs 1980 - 2018 uses photo-eye’s new VisualServer X website builder and is the fifth in photo-eye's series of online exhibitions.
