Capture photographic exhibition will open at the Town Hall Gallery on Thursday 17 January from 6-8pm and will run from 16 January to 2 February.
Art lovers can expect a dynamic exhibition showcasing a vast array of photography including biochromes, scans, digital and plastic photography (generally with disposable cameras).
Mayor of Boroondara Councillor Coral Ross urged people to come along to the exhibition.
“Once again we have a wonderful exhibition which people of all ages and interests can enjoy for free,” said Cr Ross.
“These are a gifted team of artists who are generously sharing their talent and I would encourage people to come along and indulge.”
Starring artists include:
Georgina Campbell: Local artist, Campbell, primarily uses plastic photography methods to create her beautiful, soft focus images. In this exhibition, she will be exhibiting images that have been captured using computer scanning techniques as a camera alternative.
Renata Buziak: Polish born, Queensland based artist, Buziak’s biochromes will amaze viewers. She says, “creating these ‘biochrome’ images allows for a merging of the arts and sciences; it involves collecting plants and integrating the organic process of decomposition with photographic materials to create the image of a unique landscape”.
Tatjana Plitt: Plitt’s work follows on from works that were short listed for the Going Public Emerging Artist Award in 2007. Her series Blaze recreates the imaginary world of ‘Mills and Boon’ novels using real couples who strike a romantic pose in their own domestic environments.
Capture exhibition from 16 January - 2 February 2008 (Opening night: 17 January 6-8pm).
Town Hall Gallery, rear 358 Burwood Road, Hawthorn.
Open: Wednesday - Saturday, midday to 5pm.
