The mission of the Michael Nelson Gallery is to generate and conduct a flow of creative energy for Hudson River Valley artists, through hosting forums, workshops, concerts, and studio space. At present, a forum is being assembled of imaginative minds who desire collaboration on common artistic and greater goals. The gallery is open to the public Fridays through Sundays, 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
The Michael Nelson Gallery is proud to announce the opening of a group photography show, “pH7: Seven Photographers’ Perspectives,” on May 10, 2008, 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm. These seven artists each seek to relay the deep understanding and relationship they share with their chosen subject matter. Through selections from their personal projects, these photographers come back to what first attracted them to the medium: the ability to draw a frame around what each finds meaningful in the surrounding world. From psychological portraiture, to views of the African savannah or the New York cityscape, zooming down to architectural details and lovely suburban moments caught on film; these seven photographers show selected images from their recent work.
©Michel Leroy: selected works from Rally Bikers, a portfolio of black and white, large scale portraits that represent the diversity of motorcycle culture through the people who keep the spirit and legacy of the community alive.
©Linn Edwards: selected works from Private Domain, a series of naturally lit, atmospheric portraits which examine the emotional effects on single women who are pursuing their ambitions and careers instead of marriage and family.
©Michael Nelson: selected images from a series of photographs of the New York City skyline, taken from the vantage point of the outsider. Having lived out of New York for many years, he shows the magnitude of the skylines as he once saw them.
©Henrik Olund: selected works from Images of Africa, a series of colorful photographs that illustrate his awe and enchantment with the complicated terrain, local culture, and wild animals of Kenya, Namibia, and South Africa.
©David Heinlein: selected black and white works from a series informed by the artist’s daily experience, celebrating the quirks of visual experience. These images are a result of the photographer’s personal visual journal that captures life’s quiet and beautiful moments.
©Karineh Gurjian-Angelo: selected works from a series of color photographs of lanterns throughout the world. The artist chooses lanterns as her subject to illuminate the story behind a building, witness time passing, survive renovation, and highlight decorative tastes and functions.
©Gregor Halenda: selected photographs from a series exploring qualities of light against the impenetrable surface of hand tools in a setting of black.
