EXHIBITION: Blue Hour
OPENING RECEPTION
Friday, November 4th, from 5-8 pm
Candela Gallery is pleased to announce Blue Hour, a group exhibition featuring photographic works by Granville Carroll, Peter Cochrane, Heather Evans Smith, Dylan Hausthor, Galina Kurlat, Raymond Thompson Jr, and Em White.
DYLAN HAUSTHOR
Blue Hour is the sliver of time between the setting of the sun and the creep of darkness, when everything is wrapped in a gauze of periwinkles and powder blues.
As autumn sheds its colors in favor of the barren outfits of winter, Blue Hour seems ever-present. The natural world begins to rest in preparation for hard work in the spring. A modern way of human life fights against the body’s primal desire to join the others who sleep. Do we keep moving towards light, joy, and the comforts of human interaction, or do we succumb to a natural pull?
PETER COCHRANE
RAYMOND THOMPSON JR
The works featured in this exhibition exist in-between: in a world devoid of certainty and structure, a world in transition between the living and dying.
GALINA KURLAT
EM WHITE
Em White’s glittering tintypes and Peter Cochrane’s mystic winter landscapes remind us of an eternal attachment to natural cycles; the alternative process works of Raymond Thompson Jr and Galina Kurlat, and the beautiful, domestic isolation of Heather Evans Smith’s Blue series speak to impending loneliness and self reflection; there is both fear and reverence for the night in the flashbulb forest subjects of Dylan Hausthor, and enchantment by the mysteries of the future with Granville Carroll’s celestial compositions.
GRANVILLE CARROLL
Blue Hour will be on view at Candela Gallery between November 4 – December 21, 2022.
