New Pandemic Shadows

Laurie says:

I just realized that I haven’t put up and new photos from my Pandemic Shadows project in too long.  It’s been a lifesaver for my photography in the lockdown and the long pandemic.

The hard part is that I need my art to be always new in some way, but I keep finding shadows that are fresh and work for me. It does keep getting harder but it’s still working. It helps that I had a very abstract expressionist childhood.

The season’s quality of the light really helps and I’ve been delighting in summer light. Each seasonal light changes things profoundly.

These are some from the last two months:

 

The strength of the tree shadow and the delicacy of the purple and gold leaves made a stunning contrast.
..

They were painting the apartment next door and the combination of the delicate shadow patterns and the white reflection of the holes in the curtains made a superb abstract pattern.
..

Summer shadows of delicate leaves on the sidewalk.
..

A very different flowing  abstract in summer light.

 

I’ll try to put my Pandemic Shadows images up more often.

The Art of Photography – Barcelona

Laurie says,

..

..
It’s been quite a May. My work is still on exhibit at the National Museum of Art in Osaka, Japan. And in Monochrome at PH21 Gallery the in Budapest.

Now it this photo (above) is on exhibit in Barcelona, Catalonia Spain in The Art of Photography at the Valid World Hall Gallery (in collaboration with PH21).

Although photography first emerged as a technological invention, it was also quickly conceived as an artistic practice as well. Pictorialist photographs in the nineteenth century were created to look like paintings, while advocates of straight photography in the first part of the twentieth century strived for the purely photographic means of creating photographic meaning. Street photographers devoted the medium to capturing the fleeting moment, while in the last part of the twentieth century many photographers turned to staging and directing in order to utilize photography for artistic visual communication. Art photography also includes numerous genres and creative practices from portraiture, landscape and still life to abstract and conceptual photography. In this call we asked contemporary photographers to show how they understand photography as a fine art practice in the twenty first century. – Zsolt Bátori curator

I don’t think I’ve ever had my photos on exhibit in one month in one Museum, two galleries and three countries. I’m seriously delighted. And I’m also delighted that two of them are from my Pandemic Shadows Project
