Last Week for Photography Show - thru May 7, 2011

Terry Abrams

This is the last week to see Three Visions: Photography in Black and White at WSG Gallery. When you visit the show, you'll walk in to the gallery entry space and enter a meditative exhibit of images. Nature and architecture figure prominently in Terry Abrams' and Nina Hauser's pieces. Also in Dirk Bakker's work, but he photographs figures, as well, usually in a story-telling situation, in this show.

Nina Hauser

Nina Hauser uses infrared photography to create a mood in the landscape pieces in this show. Infrared photography filters out all or most of the visible light from the spectrum so that the camera reads only infrared light. This makes plants that are green almost glow, skies look dark and there are rich, dark blacks in the photos.

Dirk Bakker

Bakker has an image with an interesting perspective - a wide-angle shot that makes it almost look mapped together in Photoshop. What kind of a story is he telling?

Photography in Black and White

The new show goes up at WSG tomorrow - featuring contemporary black and white photography from Dirk Bakker, Terry Abrams and Nina Hauser.

Terry Abrams' Structural Movement, above, is a pigment ink photograph, measuring 22 x 30". This much-collected artist also teaches photography at Washtenaw Community College. See more of his work at: http://www.terryabrams.com/Welcome.html

Dirk Bakker's Fourth Elegy, Flowering and Fading Come to us Both at Once above is a pigment ink photograph measuring 22 x 15 ". I can't wait to see this photo in person. Learn a little about Dirk and his work at: http://www2.metrotimes.com/archives/story.asp?id=4989

And, finally, WSG Gallery artist Nina Hauser, the show curator, is represented here with Deadly Solitude, a pigment inkjet photograph at 8 x 12". http://ninahauser.com/
