Inspired by his trips to Asia, Richard Bolingbroke has focused his artistic efforts on still life. His beautiful use of color, orchids and kimonos create works that inspire the imagination. Square and round bowls anchor the fluid blooming flowers that he uses. Uniting the flowers and objects creates a sense of, what the artist calls, “a pulsating tension of opposites.” The complexities of the paintings reflect the complexities of life. The rich reds, blues and golds of the Villa Terrace Imari Bowls collection are a colorful complement to Bolingbroke’s work.

Biographical Landscape offers an opportunity to revisit the works of Stephen Shore, one of the most prominent and influential American photographers to emerge in the last half-century. Focusing on Uncommon Places, Shore’s essential series on the American vernacular landscape produced between 1973 and 1982, Biographical Landscape provides an opportunity to reexamine this work in the context of his broader oeuvre, unearthing the conceptual underpinnings that inform his work throughout. What makes this work transcend the ordinariness of the subject matter is Shore’s unsurpassed artistry and technical skill as a photographer, coupled with his unique vision of each location that he documents. Quintessentially American scenes are transformed into uncommon places that seem frozen in space and time. The viewer of a Shore photograph is seduced by the colors, the density of information, and the everyday familiarity of the locations. The opening on July 24th will feature a talk by the artist beginning at 6p.m. Aperture, a not-for-profit organization devoted to photography and the visual arts, has organized this traveling exhibition and produced the accompanying publications.
