Many of my readers already know the artistic equine photography of Juliet Harrison, (and if you don’t know her you should check out her interview). Recently she sent me some information about a fantastic solo show and I had to share with my readers.
The Show
“Equiscapes” is a solo show by photographer Juliet Harrison who presents an innovative approach to traditional equine form photography. The show runs June 2nd through July 24th & there is also an opening reception June 10th from 6-8pm.
The Artist
Juliet Harrison has been exploring the camera as an artistic medium since 1980 and has focused on horses utilizing light, shadow, texture, and form since 1999. Her depictions of musculature and bone structure beneath weathered velvet coat, allows for a “visual caress” that is typically only privy to frequenters of equestrian farms.
“The objective of my work is to remove traditional viewer touchstones and provide a new path to understanding the beauty of these animals. My hope is that abstraction and focus on detail will give new meaning in these images.”
Juliet has exhibited in juried shows, invitationals and museums throughout the United States and has work in private collections throughout the world. For the past three years she has directed Ex Arte Equinus, a prestigious international Equine Art competition and show featured by Art Horse Magazine.
The Venue
The Red Filter Gallery has recently opened and is dedicated solely to bringing fine art photography to aficionados and collectors.
Forrest Old, Owner of Red Filter Gallery remarks: “This is the type of insightful personal art work we wish to provide our audience in a series of exhibits over the next few months. Juliet is truly an example of the photographer as artist … and we are happy to have her with Red Filter Gallery.”
