A small works show sponsored by PWP (Professional Women Photographers). I have two photographs in this exhibit. All work is reasonably priced.

“Color, by definition, is present in every color photograph but it is not always what the image is primarily about. When one first looks at a photograph, something in particular usually grabs the viewer’s attention. It may be light and shadow, texture, content or composition. In this show, it is color that takes center stage.

There are various ways in which color can be paramount in a photograph. It can define a mood and elicit an emotion from the viewer. It can highlight or isolate a particular subject. And, by fanciful alteration or exaggeration, color can turn the ordinary into something magical.


For this small works show, we are showcasing images that are defined by their exceptional or unusual use of color.”

Park Slope Windsor Terrace Open Studios
November 7 – 8, 2015


 
In case you missed me in the Gowanus studio tour you have a second chance! I will be participating in the Park Slope Windsor Terrace Open Studio Tour, November 7 – 8 (12 – 6 pm)… save the dates. I will be exhibiting at 374 14th Street, Brooklyn 11215 (corner of 7th Avenue), second floor, not in my usual downstairs space (but in the same building).

As indicated before, I will be showing a lot of new work, in addition to your old Holga favorites. Over the past year I have expanded on my “People Walking” series and have started a theme of ground pictures…. which includes “Street Abstractions” (abstract images of the ground, painterly in nature), and “Nature Out of Context”, which is close-ups of leaves and such on the sidewalk.

I have also been posting these types of pictures on Instagram (instagram.com/susanbowenfoto) on an almost daily basis.

The closest subway stop is the Seventh Avenue stop of the F train. If you exit at the wrong end (Eighth Ave) just go downhill one block, and then go 5 blocks south to 14th Street.

Hope to see you there!

Gowanus Open Studios: October 17 – 18, 2015

I will be participating in the Gowanus Open Studio Tour, October 17-18, 12 to 6 pm, in a borrowed space at 301 Douglass St., Brooklyn, NY 11217 (between 3rd and 4th Avenues). It is only a few blocks north of the Union Street stop of the R train.

It is a bit hard to find me on the online map (below is a detail). If walking up Douglass from 4th Avenue, I’m on the right 3/4 of the way up the block towards 3rd Avenue (just shy of the Brooklyn Music Factory and Gowanus Arts banners). I’m on the ground floor just inside the garage door.

Union Street and the R train are 2 blocks south of the detail shown. The streets go Union, Sackett, Degraw, Douglass. Hope to see you there!

Images from the Underground: NYC Subways

Gallery-wide show on the topic of the NYC Subways. My show is called ‘Transit Transitions’.

From the artist statement: “I was drawn to NYC by the fast pace of a city always in motion. I love riding the subways. My work is about motion; trains and people coming and going are good subjects for my overlapping panorama technique. Using a plastic camera, the long images are created by only partially advancing the film; the overlapping occurs in the film itself. These mostly unplanned juxtapositions capture my experience and at the same time have an identity all their own.”
