PAST EXHIBITIONS - 2010

IMPRINT :: 2011
a group exhibition

Our final thoughts of 2011, featuring a group of artists who have made a lasting impression on us during the last 12-months.

TRACINGS
David Pollock & Jamie Drouin

A selection of photographic works by David Pollock and Jamie Drouin. The word, Tracings, signifies not only what is left behind from a process, but also representation through mapping, which shares with photography the precise rendition of a topography.

NEW HORIZONS
Lis Bailly

“Our gaze returns again and again to the simple line of the horizon that celebrates the transition between earth, air, water and the fire of sunrise and sunset. As light and colour constantly change, we are still and fully engaged in the moment.” — Lis Bailly

KODACHROME IN BLOOM
a fundraiser for AGGV Children's Art Studio programs

This collaborative exhibition commissioned 12 photographers to respond to an open “botanical” theme. Three rolls of Kodachrome were used, affording each photographer nine frames. The exposed film was shipped to Dwayne’s in mid-December for processing, just two weeks prior to the deadline.

STILL PENDULUMS
Dan Macdogall

MacDougall's original Still Pendulum paintings alongside his Still Pendulum photographic print. The prints have been individually 'mapped' by the artist to create a new and unique perspective to the image.

PAST EXHIBITIONS - 2010

NEW WORK: A collection of Platinum/Pallidium Prints
Dave Aharonian

The platinum / palladium print process dates back to the mid 1800s and features a unique luminous quality to the tonal range and the only truly archival photographic print process. We are pleased to open an exhibition of new works by local fine art photographer, Dave Aharonian, featuring his exquisite west coast landscapes and nudes.

A MOMENT OF TRUTH: Rangefinder Chronicles
a curated exhibition

The works selected for this exhibition are all made using rangefinder cameras that allow the photographer to see the moment they capture without interruption and in each case the image captured is manipulated only by the photographers sense of the moment as they have framed it. A curated exhibition by Diana Millar & Quinton Gordon, of local & international documentary photography that explores the concept of "the moment" and our understanding of "truth" in photography and the role of the photographer as editorialist.

SENA
Devin Tepleski

In Nafaanra, 'sena' asks a question of location equivalent to 'where'.

Victoria photo-based artist Devin Tepleski presents 'Sena', a stunning portrait series of individuals and families being relocated by a hydroelectric dam in Ghana. Lúz is selling prints and accepting donations to provide much needed capital for microfinance projects and local educative initiatives.

CONTINUUM
Michael Levin

Captivating, soulful, and strikingly evocative, Michael Levin's photographs have captured international attention in recent years, earning widespread critical acclaim and numerous awards including "Fine Art Photographer of the Year" at the 2007 Prix de la Photographie in Paris.

SENSING SPIRIT
Allan Mandell

a collection of images that step beyond rational identification of the subject matter and into the realm of inner experience. What is the creative essence that animates all life - can this be depicted through photography? With this collection I use horticulture as a leaping off point. I am interested in creating images that speak at once to our inner selves as much as to outer beauty.

Transformations
Thomas Bartlett

“Often we use the camera to record reality, but my art distorts reality in away that evokes emotional response and inspires others to do more then just photocopy the world around them." Thomas Bartlett

Paris Showrooms
Vikky Alexander

As one of Canada's most acclaimed contemporary visual artists, Alexander has been recognized throughout Europe, Japan and the United States. Her new exhibition Paris Showrooms, incorporates Alexander's ongoing consideration and thematic exploration of illusion and material desires framed within the language of architecture and design.
