Alan Gaynor "City Views & Other Things"
Viridian Artists, Inc.
This event has ended.
Alan Gaynor's evolution as a photographer is an outgrowth of his interest in architecture and urbanism. As architecture is often said to be "frozen music", Gaynor feels his photographs demonstrate that in a city, it is the layering of the buildings played against one another to create an overall ensemble that one could say resembles music.
The artist has studied with the master photographers George Tice (urban landscapes), John Sexton (black & white imagery of nature and Ansel Adams' assistant) & Jock Sturges noted for his B&W photographs of naturists & beautiful people.
Nevertheless, and perhaps because he is a licensed architect, Gaynor's constant focus to date in his photography is an encompassing examination of the architecture of the urban landscape. Looking at his photographs, the viewer is made aware of the structural elements and the repetition of patterns and form in man made design.
Combining traditional photographic equipment with digital processing, Gaynor created the black and white photographs in the show using 4"x 5" T Max 100 Film with a View Camera, or with a medium format digital back on a view camera. The images were printed on archival paper with a professional ink jet printer.
