Forgotten Splatter collection has it’s premiere debut at The Marriott. These images are transformational abstractions created from colorful remnants and shapes of paint remaining after a canvas has been created and sold. The images range from organically treated captures to our Nirvana series, extrapolations of color and tamed chaos.
Brooklyn born photographer Alex M. Wolff was influenced heavily by the undersea pioneers like Jacques Ives Cousteau and other explorers and cinematographers of the underwater world. He photographs yacht racing in Oyster Bay, Komodo Dragons in Indonesia, and nature wherever he goes. His approach to photography has evolved from a capture mindset to a create mindset. Where in the days of Kodachrome and Fuji Velvia slide film what the camera captured is what was shown, now the snap of the shutter is just the beginning of the creative process. Digital tools provide endless opportunities for creating art works.
Fine Artist John Dowling, Jr and his John Dowling Fine Art Exhibitions is hosting this multi artist fair for collectors and holiday shoppers. Purchase one of Dowling's one-of-a-kind hand-painted digital composite images and own a piece of digital history in the making! Dowling's fine art composites are artfully curated mirages, created layer upon layer in order to create a work of art as equivalent as possible to the complexity of real life. They are an attempt to control the focal points of the viewer, bending your imagination into uncontrollable shapes and distortions of reality eventually allowing your brain to make sense of the actual images, faces, and objects hidden in the compositions, and the equally untamable expression of the artist himself. As John developed the technique further, clients started to request these surreal and expressionistic pieces as part of the shoots. John became more and more immersed in digitally painting these images and adding more and more detail until this abstract and illusionistic style became John’s standard. After creating a few dozen of these images he realized that viewers would sometimes see the original photos in the composites, and at other times they would “invent” objects in their minds. That led him to discover “Scotomisation.” "Scotomisation" is the psychological tendency in people to see what they want to see and not see what they don't want to see - in situations, in themselves, in everything, even in his composites. Until the truth is unfolded before one's eyes or the artist shares what a person is actually viewing, the illusion continues. It even changes as you focus on a different set of eyes or patterns in John’s composites often fooling or changing the perception of what you are viewing. Though observers of this art experience perception on a daily basis, “perception is not always reality.” Many observers of his art understand it, which has allowed them to analyze it and perceive things more in-depth and therefore making it “a truth.”
In addition, Kimberly Butler and John Dowling will be presenting many of their celebrity collaborations. Kim is a world renound photographer who at one point shot covers for people magazine.
