Two new exhibitions will soon arrive at the Aplanat Photography Gallery.
Roland Pleterski, "Drawn by the light" - until 29th
March.
Trained as a fashion artist, Peterski left Austria
for New York at the beginning of the 1950's. He became Irving
Penn's assistant, and Peterski's elegant, statically-staged
photographs, (known through Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Glamour and
other high-end fashion magazines), are unmistakeably influenced by
the work of the great photographer and personal friend. His work
grew to include cityscapes, travel reports and later, more and more
nude photography, but Pleterski's pictorial world remained
dominated by 'glamorous people and places'.
Jay Mark Johnson, "Space and Timelessness" - 10th April until
24th May.
In his new work "Space and Timelessness", Jay
Mark Johnson takes subjects that have engaged the imaginations of
artists for centuries - the bustle of the piazza, the routines of
the countryside - and transforms them, employing the technology of
the computer age, into visual narratives that astonish the eye.
Using slit-scan photography techniques, whereby prolonged exposure
synthesises all the movement in front of the lens, the resulting
photographs incorporate the dimension of time - in effect freezing
it.
