This event has ended.

Terrain Gallery presents new work by three contemporary American photographers.
There are Steve Poleskie’s rich still lifes of daily objects, captivating in brilliant sunlight and deep shadow. There are Perry Hall’s acute observations of city buildings, objects, and happenings, where sharpness and softness
mingle in many and surprising ways. And there is the diverse work of Amy Dienes, from an intimate portrait of the heart of a flower, to an awesome panoply of clouds.
This radiant show includes the photographers’ comments in relation to
these definitive sentences from “The Dramatic Opposites in Photography,” by Eli Siegel, founder of the philosophy Aesthetic Realism: Photography showed something that was beautiful about the world: that there was a oneness between light and dark. And in any rich photograph, the way the two are the same and different is an essential thing. Photography does dramatize light and shade, softness and sharpness, foreground and background; does dramatize where drama
is: that is, in the surfaces, the depths, the relations of things.
