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.

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.

Notable: “Baptism”, Jennifer Hudson, Red Filter Gallery, Lambertville, NJ

Worship, Jennifer Hudson

The Red Filter Gallery, located at 74 Bridge Street in Lambertville, New Jersey, is hosting Baptism, surreal mise-en-scène style photography illustrating the dynamics and spiritual quest of the human heart. Beginning September 8 and running through October 23rd. The opening reception is Friday, September 16th from 6-8pm. Baptism is open to the public each afternoon, Thursday through Sunday.

Red Filter Gallery has recently initiated fine art photography exhibits and is dedicated to displaying emerging and mature contemporary photography to a growing audience of photography enthusiasts and collectors.

Jennifer Hudson grew up in a spiritual and conservative home in rural Texas where she cultivated her curiosity and imagination. Experimenting with her artwork by offering insight and awareness about intensely personal experiences, she developed delicate “inventions”. These creations carefully allow environments and characters in her works to speak deeply about the human experience.

Baptism is a body of work that explores a young woman’s spiritual reincarnation. Hudson states: “We bear witness to her heartfelt journey of guilt and transgression …” Hudson’s ability to plumb the utilization of the forgotten, discarded and mechanical … is soulful, eerie, and quiet. Through careful posing and placement of her subject, her work connects with the subconscious in subtle and sometimes disturbing ways.

Jennifer Hudson’s work has been exhibited around the country and on both coasts with cover photos on multiple arts/fine art photography magazines.

From September 8 through October 23rd.

Michael Benari, “Coney Island”

“Kind of Blue” features the work of artist Michael Benari. With a background more accustomed to science and medicine, Michael Benari has always been enamored with visual imagery. Photography in particular is a lifelong avocation of his, now a full time career since 2006. Born in Tel Aviv, Israel and raised in New York City, Michael pursued his study of photography at the New England School of Photography and has attended Maine and Santa Fe Media Workshops. He has also studied with Karl Baden at the Project Arts Place in Cambridge, Massachusetts. His photographs have been shown in multiple exhibitions and are placed in private collections throughout New York, Massachusetts and Australia.

Michael Benari’s poetic work poses visual “questions” about the cities he has visited, without offering specific answers. He offers glimpses of everyday life in ephemeral but “decisive moments”. His poetic style contemplates the life within the cities he has visited: New York, Paris, and Rome, all the while invoking a freestyle spirit where  beauty can be found in both abstract and subjective forms.

July 28 through September 4
