Rachel Lahn - My paintings and dimensional constructions are about movement, light and color. They are reflections of my feelings, travels, and countless transitions. My work is influenced by the beauty of the land and sea where I live, in Mendocino county, California and by the dramatic colors of the South Pacific , where I visit. I have been painting since my childhood. I hold a BFA and an MAT from the Rhode Island School of Design.

Hans Bruhner was born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden. He is self-taught as a photographer and was first published in photography magazines in Sweden in the early sixties. He has traveled in Europe and also in Central and South America while working in Colombia.
He has exhibited in San Francisco and the Bay Area and also locally in both solo and group shows. Influenced by painters, sculptors and folk artists, his Cibachrome images often have a painterly quality.
Besides conventionally framed images, Hans creates photo assemblages where the frames, often made of found objects and discards, become part of the image. The frames can set off the photo; they can separate the viewer; or draw you in.
"I look for simple lines, few colors, a certain rhythm, character and content. I like dark, slightly mysterious areas in my pictures, images that remind us that photos are memories preserved." |
