Tree House, 2008

Mysterious and moving, the images of Machiel Botman are worth your attention …

This exhibition of Machiel Botman’s black and white photographs from the past ten years is concurrent with the release of his third monograph, One Tree (Nazraeli Press, 2011). A key figure in Dutch photography, Botman has always photographed as a way to understand life. He is not restrained by photographic conventions; rather, Botman utilizes a variety of exposures, depths of field and focal distances, resulting in a style that is uniquely his own. His books are equally singular. They are autobiographical and chronicle the stages in his life, but they do not follow a linear narrative.

Through February 18

Soho Show 1

Courtesy Red Filter Gallery

A new exhibition at the Red Filter Gallery includes work by 17 artists from the well known artists’ co-operative: Soho Photo Gallery in New York.

The Soho Photo Gallery was established in 1971 by a group of New York Times photographers striving to break away from the commercial art gallery experience and offer something new. It is now the only non-profit cooperative photography gallery in New York City. The gallery is run entirely by members – over one hundred of them who direct, operate, and financially support the gallery. Well-known photographers have shared in exhibiting at the Soho Photo Gallery as well, including Ansel Adams, Andre Kertesz, Jill Enfield, Jill Freedman, and Joel Sternfeld. Regularly featured in local newspapers, trade and national publications, their website, www.sohophoto.com, offers regular updates with announcements of new exhibitions and other exciting gallery events.

Exhibit will run: January 26 –February 26

At the same time that A Monochrome Winter exhibits, the Red Filter Gallery offers an extended viewing of Kisa Kavass’ Moments de Curiosité, and John Andrulis’ Retrospective in Upstairs Gallery II.

Favorites: “Best of the Best” Emerging Fine Art Photographers of 2011

In Art Museum, Article, Black and White Photography, Exhibits, Gallery, Photo Print Collector, Photographer on January 2, 2012 at 2:15 pm

Lauren E. Simonutti

The most popular article in our 2011 fine art photography coverage was the list of photographers we chose as the “Best of the Best” for 2010. The interest in this group of evolving artists at different stages in their careers exceeded our expectations many times over … but provides us encouragement to put together “the list” yet again for 2011.

The contributors to this website viewed thousands of fine art prints, attended dozens of galleries, museums and fairs throughout the year. To boil all that activity into a single brief list is obviously a difficult (but enjoyable) task and should foster days of discussion by visitors to BWGallerist.

So with that, here is the the 2011 “Best of the Best” list in no particular order:

1. Rita Bernstein

2. Hiroyasu Matsui

3. Mariana Cook

4. Michael Kirchoff

5. Tami Bone

6. Juliet Harrison

7. John Mack

8. Kelly Fitzgerald

9. Gary Salazar

10. Lauren E. Simonutti

We thank these artists for their continued progress and integrity of their work.

Nesting

Kisa Kavass, “Nesting”

A portrait photographer from a different world, Kisa Kavass has a singular sensibility when it comes to places and people.

As a girl, I grew up hearing and reading stories that created a mood and an inquisitiveness about the natural world. It was not until a few years ago that I began to understand the importance of these stories, folklore and fairy tales and their purpose in the processes of human histories. These stories that we were enchanted with and still exist deep within our souls reveal a relationship with forces not understood, the shadows of intuition. Through my photography I return to the imagination and curiosity I experienced as a child. I was a creator as a child and I needed to become a creator again. We have all had stories told to us in childhood that are pushed back into the recesses of our mind. My images are meant to remind the memory of those stories and to ignite new stories. I encounter spaces filled with shadows and light filtering through natural surroundings and old structures that carry their own history. This is the journey, beginning with the concept and ending with the viewer becoming a creative participant. We walk the forest path and feel the rush of the wind with the same sharpened sight and awareness as the wild creatures do. This series is a compilation of work from various stages of my studies into the world of stories and the importance of curiosity and creativity in all that we act upon.

Dec. 1 – Jan. 22

Ballet Dancer, John Andrulis

The photographer John Andrulis has been prolific in his book publishing efforts and now brings a sweet sample of his 20 plus year career to the Red Filter Gallery

John Andrulis was born and raised in central New Jersey and attended the University of the Arts in Philadelphia to study photography. In addition to studying at the University of Montana where he did his graduate work in photojournalism, his return to the East Coast prompted his photo view to be aligned more with Henri Cartier-Bresson’s style of decisive-moment fine art photography. Trips up and down the Jersey Shore between Manhattan and Cape May provided Andrulis plenty of material year round and eventually the cultural and historical experience necessary to produce ten books, among them “The Jersey Shore (Summer),” “The Jersey Shore(Winter)” ,”Manhattan – Black and White Narrative” and “Philadelphia – Documentations”.

While Andrulis’ subjects range from landscapes to portraits, the one theme present in each image is his attention to passing time and how it changes the image composition. Whether it is a seasonal change from lush summer landscapes to bare snow, or the dipping head and torso of a ballerina, Andrulis’ awareness of the changes of time clearly show within the frame.

On Site: Haiti = Survival (No question but), Tequila Minsky, Soho Photo Gallery, NYC

Tequila Minsky

Soho Photo, a New York  photography artist co-op is celebrating 40 years. The 100 plus members are supported by President R. Wayne Parsons and a staff of member volunteers. Located in a great space just below Canal St., the Gallery hosts member exhibits and guest exhibits like that of Tequila Minsky.

Her exhibit, photo transfers on cloth, captures the recent (and ongoing) devastation in Haiti in a touching but not overly sentimental display:

Soho Photo Gallery is pleased to announce that October’s guest is photo-journalist Tequila Minsky whose exhibition is entitled Haiti = Survival (No question but). Minsky has traveled to Haiti more than 20 times since 1993 in connection with various journalism projects. Minsky had arrived in Port-au-Prince five hours before the earthquake struck on January 12, 2010, having just spent almost a week in the countryside with a delegation visiting a peasant farmer association. The rest, of course, is history, especially since Minsky’s images of the devastation were among the first to be published, on the NY Times blog – three hours after the quake — and then in the Times’s morning edition. Her exhibition at Soho Photo includes images of the disaster, as it was unfolding, the immediate aftermath, and then Haiti six months later. Minsky has written various articles on women’s programs in Haiti and her exhibition, “Women of Haiti” was shown at the Brecht Forum. Her exhibition at Soho Photo is with the support of the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC).

 

Through October 29.
