John Chervinsky has pursued photography for nearly 20 years. An engineer by trade, Chervinsky spent eighteen years running a particle accelerator at Harvard University and currently works with a small research group. Chervinsky's diverse engineering background is evident in his ongoing series of conceptual still-lifes. In his series of photographs, “An Experiment in Perspective,” he sets out to explore the metaphoric aspects of visual perception. Chervinsky has had numerous solo exhibitions at venues such as Peer Gallery, Blue Sky Gallery, and the Griffin Museum of Photography, and has collaborated with MacArthur Fellow poet, Thylias Moss. His work is held in the corporate collections of Polaroid and Fidelity, Spencer Museum of Art, Portland Museum of Art, Harvard Business School, Wright State University Art Museum, as well as in numerous private collections. He was featured in the 2003 PRC Juried Exhibition and the Members Print Program.
