Chuck Zegar "Light as Metaphor"
Synchronicity Fine Arts
This event has ended.
Opening April 1 and running through April 26, 2008 is an exhibition of digital photography by Chuck Zegar. Entitled “Light as Metaphor” the show features an engaging interaction of technology and aesthetics as Zegar digs deep into the intuitive dialogue between nature and light. It is often the case that one looks into the heart of nature and responds with a narrative but in Chuck Zegar’s recent digital work he unveils the essence of the landscapes by addressing that which enables us to see in the first place, Light.
Zegar travels through landscapes much as a painter explores the terrain, by engaging in tonality, textures, color and movement of light as such he defines space and goes to the root of seeing. He is a scientist; he is a technician of extraordinary capabilities in his comprehension of data as an objective resource unscathed by limitations but infused with potential. He explores the manner in which we are able to see and then becomes the aesthete as translator of nature in the vein of painters like Rousseau and Cezanne. His medium is not just photography in a manner of snap and capture. In his process he uses the digital medium as the springboard or metaphor through which he poetically redresses nature with the palette of new technologies to process tonality, definition, color and textural intensities and numerous other sensibilities to capture his aesthetic relationship to the subject matter. This is not a matter of Photoshop enhancement, but the undertaking of light as metaphor through which he speaks of his deeper connection to landscapes that vary from the surreal to the impressionistic.
