Fractured Females
March 25th - May 28th, 2011
Usdan's Fractured Females are black and white distortions of female faces that appear to peer out at world that has mutilated their vision and environment. These portraits are beautiful and haunting and force the viewer to experience the duality between pain and experience. The Ava's Dolls series features deconstructed dolls which attract and repel the viewer with their strangely sexual and voyeuristic commercial representation of the female face and form. The Herself portfolio features square portraits of women which are layered with filters that obfuscate the facial features of the subjects. The disguised visage produces a cinematic quality touched by surrealism. The faces in this series are enigmas that open a dialogue with our unconscious desires and dreams for the feminine form.
Mysticism, Apparitions, Dreams
April 30, 2010 - August 15, 2010
DOMA Gallery presented "Mysticism, Apparitions, Dreams". The exhibition featured photographic images by artists Andrea Brown, Igor Malijevsky and Raymond Grubb.
Bodies: Steel and Skin
October 2, 2009 - January 15, 2010
This exhibition featureed photographic images from Bryce Lankard and Daniel Stein which included abstract nudes and details of classic cars that illustrated the timeless beauty of curves and lines, shadow and light.
Bryce Lankard has exhibited in France, Spain, Germany, New Orleans and New York. His solarized photographs of nudes celebrate the female form by drawing the viewer's eye to its abstract essence through dynamic lighting and composition. Lankard's photographs are produced using a unique printing process that includes wet scanning, partial exposure and distressing the negatives.
Daniel Stein is a California based photographer who was influenced at an early age by his grandfather to develop a passion for the beauty and power of automotive design. His work focuses on details of classic automobile bodies that suggestively mirror the lines and curves of the female form as well as the art of creating unforgettable bodies of steel. Stein's photographs have been exhibited in Hollywood, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
By placing nudes and automobiles in the same exhibition, the viewer is able to discern the unique properties of photography and how it is able to achieve an individual focus on form, light and composition and the parallels that may be made between seemingly disparate bodies of work.
Dangerous Beauty: the Art and Sexuality
of Nature
February 12, 2009 - April 30, 2009
This exhibition featured large scale abstract photography
by North Carolina and New York artists - Tim Buchman, Troy Lee and
Christopher Burke. The exhibition's abstract flora images resonate
most deeply with those that enjoy subtlety, sensuality and sexuality.
Tim Buchman's black and white images evoke comparisons with Imogene
Cunningham's work with flowers and botanicals. The seductive beauty
of Buchman's flora images produces multiple reactions given their form,
composition and mysterious analogies to sexual reproduction.
Christopher
Burke is a well know photographer of fine art based in New York City.
Burke's individual photographic work has focused on both literal and
non-literal botanical studies. In this exhibition, Burke's floral imagery
is reproduced in large pigment prints which explode in color and brilliance.
Burke's large scale color prints seduce the senses by drawing on a
rich palette of magenta, ochre and cobalt.
Troy Lee is an emerging
fine art photographer who has recently returned to North Carolina after
graduating from the Hallmark School for Fine Art Photography. Lee's
black and white digital images capture artifacts of nature, photographed
using plexi-glass and black interior sets, to create mirror images
and thereby transform the mundane to marvelous
