24 January - 21 February: 'Folios' by The Fine Monochrome Print Group (QLD)


These images comprise about fifty monochrome photographs produced by members of the Fine Monochrome Print Group, a group aimed at the preservation of traditional darkroom photographic techniques.

Category: Exhibitions

Some of these photographs make a purely aesthetic statement; they can be appreciated for the beauty of their subject matter, and also the beauty inherent in fine monochrome prints as objects themselves. In these works, the subtraction of colour is employed to introduce an element of abstraction that distances the subject matter from the reality of everyday experience. The exhibition contains images by Nick Caris, Ian Hanger, Frederick Hunt, Julian Pearce, Dmytro Poplavskiy, Marion Rodgers, Richard Stringer, Murray Thompson and Warren Veivers. Close examination of the framed or unframed print permits an intimacy and a direct and subtle dialogue between viewer, image and photographer.
