Here and There
a photo exhibition by Juergen Vespermann
at Spectrum Gallery, 608 E. Olive Ave, Fresno, CA 93728
November 3 through November 27, 2022
This exhibit at Spectrum Gallery consists of b/w architectural photos, a couple of my favorite murals, some flowers from our backyard and images from my most recent trip to Germany, the Netherlands (Rotterdam) and Belgium (Liege). I tried to find an overall theme for the show, but ended up instead selecting my most favorite images of 2021 and 2022. To mix it up even more, I printed a couple of larger size images on canvas.
The majority of the images continue to focus on my favorite subject, black and white architecture. I like bringing details of architecture and man-made objects to the surface, emphasizing visual lines and forms. Most of my photos are very abstract, usually too detailed to recognize the actual building. It keeps the viewer guessing. Which way is up and which way is down? Have I seen this building before? The images capture a perspective that transcends the building itself, focusing in on the most intriguing details. It is exciting to discover the accidental combination of individual elements created, when viewing these structures and trying to further reduce these objects to details, playing with the lines, geometrical figures, shades and contrast. An advantage of photographing architecture is that the subject hardly ever moves and complaints and you can take your time, rarely disturbing anybody.
I hope you agree with the choices of my images and can find at least a couple of them you enjoy. I would love to hear your thoughts on the exhibit and the images!
Enjoy the show and the images on this website, Juergen
