WITH CANDELA ARTIST AND EXHIBITION FEATURES
EXHIBITION: Scratch Drawings
Candela Gallery is excited to mount its first solo show by Washington, DC-based artist, Caitlin Teal Price. Through photography and deliberate, delicate mark-making, Price carves gestural patterns and shapes into the surface of her prints. Built on photographs of sunlight, seeping through the windows of her home, these Scratch Drawings are an exploration of the ritual and routine found in the undercurrents of Price's daily life.
EXHIBITION: HALLUCINATIONS
Candela Books + Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new works by Justin James Reed. The exhibition will open on Friday, September 6th and will be on view through Sunday, October 27th. Please join us for an opening reception and artist talks on Thursday, September 5th, from 5- 8 pm.
EXHIBITION: Portals
In his first solo exhibition at Candela Gallery, Harrison Walker presents his Portals project, highlighting a mix of photographic processes through a series of abstract works. In Walker’s words, the series is “an investigation of photographic chemistry, psychological perceptions, and ideas of duplication, mimicry, and the multiple.” Through experimentation and discovery the varied effects of his photographic, printmaking, and drawing techniques, seek to elicit not only an emotional but also a fundamentally experiential viewing.
EXHIBITION: New Works
Chris McCaw returns to Candela Gallery in his second solo exhibition featuring work from his recent projects, as well as new work from his Sunburn series. Over the last decade, Chris has continued to push the boundaries of the photographic medium, sharing his unconventional techniques for capturing the movement and the power of the sun as it travels through his viewfinder. With hand-built cameras and vintage photographic paper, McCaw creates unique pieces documenting the sun’s movement through illusory land and seascapes. Long exposures throughout a day, or over multiple days, materialize as marks and burns made directly by the sun’s light as it exposes the paper. As McCaw writes, through this collaborative process, “the sun has become an active participant in part of the printmaking.”
