Flux is an ongoing spotlight of works in Candela’s gallery inventory showcasing the breadth of the photographic medium and our love for process. Join us over the course of the next month as we highlight this season’s featured artists: Harrison D Walker, Linda Connor, Alyssa Salomon, and Willie Anne Wright.

In many ways, my relationship with Gita and her work is Candela's origin story. I founded Candela Books in 2010 to publish a monograph of Lenz’s work. At the time, we managed to secure the interest of Tom Gitterman, who owns a premier photo gallery in New York City, Gitterman Gallery. Tom appreciated her early adaptation of abstract expressionism and was especially drawn to the quality of her prints. Later that same year, Tom mounted a solo exhibition of her work. Although Gita wasn't well enough to attend the opening events, between the book and the exhibition, I felt she had a sense that her work was being seen and appreciated once again.

Candela Gallery is delighted to revisit the work of Gita Lenz (1910-2011). Lenz was Candela's first book project and one of the gallery's first exhibitions. Almost ten years later, From the Archive with Gita Lenz, features a series of Lenz's black and white vintage photographs. The exhibition will open this Friday, May 7th, from 5 - 8pm and continue through June 18th.

Candela Gallery is thrilled to present High Water, a debut solo exhibition by Richmond, Virginia based photographer, Emily White. In response to our modern world, inundated by digital diversions and perpetual tail-chasing, Emily White has staked out essential and reverent landscapes. White approaches the landscape genre using a mix of 19th century and contemporary processes and manages to bridge the nostalgia for a familiar place and the discordant emotions of the southern wilds.
