THE PORTRAIT

Opening Reception | Sat. June 15, 6 - 8PM

Exhibition Dates: June 15 - July 13, 2024

"Making portraits is more than a physical form, it’s a silent communication in understanding and respect between the photographer and the subject. There’s an internal emotion and fire of the soul that you try to capture." – Sandra


In her book, Portraits and Persons, writer Cynthia Freeland describes three essential elements that constitute a portrait: “(1) a recognizable physical body (2) an inner life, i.e., some sort of psychological or mental states and (3) self-presentation, or the "posing.”
 

Praxis Gallery presents photographs that celebrate the aesthetic and conceptual considerations involved in the creation of the portrait: revealing personal narratives or new anthologies through the artistic representation of the subject. Juried by Layne Kennedy

Exhibition Dates: June 15 – July 13, 2024

Hollywoodland is inspired by my endless fascination with classical Hollywood cinema and examines issues of gender that lie beneath the glamourised aesthetic surface of the 1950s and 1960s. The series of portrait photographs explores women's idealisation, objectification and vilification within society as propagated by the silver screen.

LYON ~ REDUX

A Solo Exhibition by

Allen Gronhovd

Opening Night Reception: Sat. June 15, 6–8PM
Exhibition Dates: June 15 – July 13, 2024

Most of the images in this exhibit were taken in Lyon, France, between 1974 and 1988, with a few from places like Naples, Italy. I found Lyon to be a fascinating place to explore, offering countless observation spots. In black and white photography, pinpointing the exact date of a picture can be challenging without overt markers of time and place.

 

The photographers who influenced me during this period included Walker Evans, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Diane Arbus, and Brassaï - and filmmakers such as François Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, and Jean-Pierre Melville.
