Candy Dreams Of Spacemen

Corey LeChat's head is not just in the clouds, it’s in the
stratosphere, mesosphere, through the thermosphere and exosphere and
toward galaxies and dimensions far beyond.

With his lens trainedon rocket ships and astronauts, Corey's latest photographic serieslaunches the viewer on a journey through space and time.

Thecasual view captures unbelievable things, like attack ships on fire offthe shoulder of Orion or even C-beams glittering in the dark near theTannhauser gate.

Thankfully these moments are not lost in time,but preserved for the entire cosmos to see (and then perhaps to alsodream of spacemen).

Corey LeChat's latest series of 35 mm color photographs materializes at
Moxie Dada, August 9 through 30.

Space snacks and Tang were provided for attendees.

Corey LeChat¹s singular photographic vision has been attracting 
attention in the Pittsburgh arts scene since he began showing his work 
here in 1992.

LeChat has developed a unique, self-taught style, marked by organically 
achieved effects of light and color that are often mistaken to be the 
result of computer enhancement. His distinctive approach to still 
photography showcases unusual choice of illumination and color to give 
his pieces a vivid, illustrative quality.

LeChat's photographic works have been exhibited at various events and 
galleries, including The Three Rivers Arts Festival, Silver Eye Center 
for Photography, Penn Gallery, Pittsburgh Filmmakers, Fe Gallery, 
Digging Pitt and the Carnegie Museum of Pittsburgh. Outside of 
Pittsburgh, he has shown in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Prague and 
Japan. He has also donated his photos to various charitable projects 
over the years, including The Pittsburgh AIDS Task Force and benefits 
for Cerebral Palsy. He has sold hundreds of photographs in the 
Pittsburgh area alone and has been recognized with purchase awards from 
Four Systems as well as Westinghouse.

LeChat's work has even caught the attention of Hollywood. In the last 
few years, several film projects have featured his photography, 
including Margaret Cho and Alan Cummings¹ Bam Bam and Celeste (2005) and 
the 2004 Sundance Film Festival selection Little Black Boot.
