Five Photographers
David Clanton, Lee Albert Hill, Michael Lyon, Alan Robertson, and Kitty Alice Snead
February 4 - February 25, 2012
Opening Reception: Saturday, February 4, 6-9 pm
DALLAS, Texas (January 12, 2012)--Haley-Henman Gallery is pleased to present its first exhibition devoted to fine art photography with the selection of five exciting photographers. The exhibition, Five Photographers, features the work by David Clanton, Lee Albert Hill, Michael Lyon, Alan Robertson, and Kitty Alice Snead. These photographers bring forth their individual talent and expertise in different ways.
David Clanton’s images are the melding of disparate elements of metallic textures, reflecting surfaces
of color, or facets of stone. His abstractions derive from eight or more layers of underlying images that
boldly create balance, harmony and dimensionality that speak to our urban surfaces as a quality in
need of discovery.
Lee Albert Hill presents works from his “Signal Series”. Using the theme of maritime signal flags used
for visual communication between ships at sea and mid-20th century junk cars in the middle of West Texas, these composite photographs ask questions about our unsustainable past and how we move on
to new, sustainable future.
Alan Robertson’s inspiration for his “Illumination Series” comes from George Eastman, who said,
“Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire It. Love it.” In these new works, Mr. Robertson is drawn to the interplay between natural and enhanced light, particularly light fixtures and patterns of illumination. How these patterns will change with new lighting technology is poignantly highlighted in the way
Mr. Robertson points the lens to the grandeur of the architectural past.
Michael Lyon specializes in architectural photography. As he travels on assignment across the country, he is always looking for something that strikes his eye, especially if it captures the odd and amusing. His “Roadside Attraction Series” is the less serious side of Mr. Lyon’s award winning architectural photography.
Kitty Alice Snead began “Fire Light” in 2007 after establishing a rapport for ten years with the Tarahumara people of Northwestern Mexico. These photographs occur on a moonless, spring night during their ritual celebration of Tutu Bur/Yumari. Using only the light from campfires and a fireball lantern, Ms. Snead moved about the dance and the women’s circle all night long. From this extraordinary collection,
the gallery presents a premier selection of six photographs.
