The Rowdy & The Righteous - Andrew Blanchard
Andrew Blanchard gleans inspiration from a hand-lettered church sign, a phrase in southern fiction, or in the vacant lots left by a devastating storm. Raised in Mississippi, Blanchard has traveled the Southern states photographing details of the region, and bringing these images together with paint, collage, and screenprinting. His process demands reckless abandon, and absolute precision - stepping “one foot into the rowdy, and one in the righteous.”
Local Takes is a documentary film series from Spartanburg, SC spotlighting southern artists.
