INAUGURAL EXHIBITION OF OUR NEW RANCHO SANTA FE LOCATION
BILL RASTETTER: Seascapes June 19 - July 2010 Opening Reception: June 19th (5-8 pm)
Joseph Bellows Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of San Diego photographer, Bill Rastetter. BILL RASTETTER: Seascapes will be on view from June 19 - July 2010 and will be held in our Rancho Santa Fe gallery. An opening reception with Bill Rastetter will be held on Saturday, June 19th (5 – 8 pm).
Rastetter's work explores familiar landscape to unexpected effect. His contemplative imagery captures more than an isolated moment in time; rather it offers a window on the emotion of sea and sky. Focusing on the horizon line, the elemental nexus that connects two worlds, Rastetter's work is a meditation on ever-evolving oceanic mood. By turns brooding and benevolent, serene and faintly ominous, Rastetter's landscapes are dynamic, shifting and seemingly alive.
Using time-lapse photography (with exposures ranging from 1 to 11 minutes) and 4 x 5 inch or 60 x 120 cm color transparency, Rastetter works in subtle abstraction, creating images that often bear a resemblance to watercolor painting. Printing the images on watercolor paper using the giclée process serves to enhance this soft yet vibrant otherworldly effect; capturing views of the landscape that exist beyond normal temporal perception.
This exhibition will be in our Rancho Santa Fe location. A portion of the proceeds from opening night sales will benefit the Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society.
