Black is symbolic in many cultures, expressing mystery, elegance, drama, even the great void. Whites and grays, conversely, are hopeful, bringing contrast and defining forms.

Shadows and light 

Black is symbolic in many cultures, expressing mystery, elegance, drama, even the great void. Whites and grays, conversely, are hopeful, bringing contrast and defining forms.
The absence of color allows us to better see the pictorial composition, and the arrangements and intensity of shadows and light can create a high contrast image or a dusky play of subtle grays. The lack of color concentrates our attention on the subject and the design.
Please submit your interpretation of this achromatic theme in any media such as photography, printmaking, pencil and charcoal, fiber, ceramic or mixed media.
 
Featured in the show is the art of local photographer Richard Hay Jr. with the debut of his series
“Healdsburg by Design – Fragments of time “. The black and white images portray in exquisite detail the historic and contemporary structures that embody this 100+ years old town. 

Show runs 13 April to 29 May / 2023
