It is a bit of a trek, but anyone who is in the vicinity of New Mexico must check out the forthcoming photography exhibition entitled 'Saturated with Colour' at the Verve Gallery, Santa Fe.
I am mesmerized by the work of Californian based artist Jeffery Becom who has travelled the world capturing colour and in particular this latest collection of images which are featured along with 2 x other artist in this exhibition.
Becom considers his photographs to be documentary: the colors, subjects and details captured as found. His signature subject and style is the sensuous use of color to transform architectural imagery into lush, painterly, colorist compositions.
Becom is quoted in the run up to the event to say:
“... India is synonymous with brilliant colors, myriad faiths and some of the earliest societies on earth and that colour and faith profoundly envelop Indian life on all levels.
His images taken in Rajasthan, India are phenomenal and puts the photos I took there last month to shame...It excites me so much to think that I have only scratched the surface of this incredible country & that there is so much more to discover as Lala Moon takes shape.
'Saturated with Colour' runs from 9th July (opening reception) until 28th August 2010.
