ModernBook
Gallery in conjunction with Stanford Continuing Studies is pleased to announce
the exhibition "Two x 20, An Exhibition of Bay Area Photographers."
The
exhibit presents the diverse vision of twenty photographers who share a common
passion for photography. The photographers, chosen by juried portfolio, meet
weekly with Bay Area photographer Brigitte Carnochan in an advanced workshop
through Stanford Continuing Studies. As one participant put it, "It has
been a pleasure just to participate in the collaborative process of choosing the
images that will be in the show because, for once, twenty-one heads are better
than one."
While many of the photographers have exhibited before, half will exhibit for the first time. Several of the photographers represented teach photography, some work commercially, and all pursue extended personal projects represented by two images from each photographer's portfolio chosen in consultation with the other students, the instructor Brigitte Carnochan, and gallery owners Mark Pinsukanjana and Bryan Yedinak. The photographs demonstrate not only technical expertise, but clarity of expression, intensity of emotion, and breadth of subject. Many of the photographers will have an expanded portfolio of their work available for viewing at the gallery.
The
forty photographs include images inspired by childhood memories from the 1950s
of the carnival-like color of elaborate neon signs. Other images evoke an
emotional response to landscapes, surreal perspectives of Bay Area ports, and
records of time, sun and shade in structures and surfaces. The richness of the
urban landscape and the grittiness of the street is captured, as is the
architecture of nature—the graceful beauty in its smallest details—and
nature
The
images vary in technique from traditional silver-based photography to digital
imaging and production and alternative techniques such as handpainting.
