Oyster Point Hotel Gallery Cocktail Reception and Exhibition: Colored Images
September 6 - October 27
Joe Rabcow, Neon Blur
Not long ago, the debate wasn’t about whether AI “art” was art but whether color photography was art. William Eggleston’s 1976 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, Color Photographs by William Eggleston, settled that debate. It was. It is.
The Colored Images exhibition at the Oyster Point Hotel Gallery explores the use of color by seven photographers. Each photographer shoots a range of subjects. For this exhibit, the explorations of nature by Danielle Austen, Gary Steven Groves, and Anne Knife have been selected. Robert P. Langdon, Joe Rabcow, and Dug Smith are represented for their images of human environments, such as amusement park rides and flea markets. Martta Kelly’s images are of both.
The photographers’ approach to and use of color ranges from the whisper-soft tints of Anne Knife’s “Sun Series” to the bold and slightly surreal color of Dug Smith’s “Flea Market” images. With the Diana camera images of Gary Steven Groves, the photos are blurred but naturalistic.
The Photography Show: Colored Images will open on Friday, September 6, 2024, with a cocktail reception at The Oyster Point Hotel, 146 Bodman Place, Red Bank, NJ. An artist talk will be held on Sunday, October 27, from 3 to 5:00 p.m., after which the show will close. These events are free and open to the public.
