It has been 2 years since Framed on Fifth, lovely framing and art gallery booked me for a gallery show. Now it is happening. Although 2 years seems long enough to prepare images, it passed very quickly. I must be a rain man and I got bad weather whenever I go to big trips. I end up to get many subtle, gentle almost melancholic images. Then I went through all landscape images I have taken since 2009. I realized I am getting more subtle images because my style may have been changing.
So I titled this gallery show, “Wabi-sabi wanderlust”. Wabi-sabi is Japanese term, in part portrays a true sense of serene melancholy and a spiritual longing.
My show will be at Framed on Fifth (1207 – 5th Avenue N.W., Calgary) from Feb 1st to Mar 1st. The opening reception will be Feb 8th from 5pm. Also I will have artist talk, ” Meet the artist” on Feb 15th from 2 pm to 4 pm. I will have a photo critiquing session as a part of the artist talk. Please bring a couple of your photos.
By the way, this show is part of Exposure Photo Festival 2014. Many gallery shows are listed this year as well. You should check the out.
Lastly, I will share a time-lapsed video, I made for fun. Just check it out.
