OPENING CELEBRATION APRIL 15
Join us for the opening celebration of VOYAGES MONOCHROMATIQUES featuring the work of local photographers Thompson Holmes, Richard Kohler, Ernst-Ulrich Schafer, and Philippe Tauran. The exhibit explores the essence of visual subject matter through the contrasts of light and shadow, from bright whites to deep blacks, in a celebration of black-and-white imagery.
The venue will open at 5PM, with live music from The Sarah Shea Trio kicking off the evening. Gallery Manager Georgia Ray Johnson will introduce the artists and provide the land acknowledgement. The featured artists will offer their perspectives on the show followed by an opportunity for Q&A. The gallery will then open for viewing at approximately 5:35PM, with musicians returning to perform as guests mingle until 7PM.
ON DISPLAY APRIL 15 – JUNE 15
Without color, light and composition are put sharply into focus to create a fresh perspective.
On display April 15 through June 15th. Local photographers Thompson Holmes, Richard Kohler, Ernst-Ulrich Schafer and Philippe Tauran are have been working in the medium of monochrome photography for many years collectively. Through much effort and practice, they have found that the essence of visual subject matter can genuinely be shown in monochromatic style.
The light and the composition are very important in capturing the moment: everything is expressed in terms of light, from bright white to dark black, and in many wonderful shades of gray in between. This is a celebration of black and white photography – a unique artistic experience which challenges the viewer to see beyond color.
Gallery hours are 10AM – 2PM Monday through Saturday. Free admission, donations are appreciated and support future exhibits. Learn more at www.fieldhallevents.org/gallery
