Reception for the Artist• Saturday, May 7, 2016 • 5-7 pm

Holly Gordon

For solo exhibiting artist Holly Gordon, gardens throughout the world present her with infinite palettes of color. The digital darkroom has expanded the fluidity of her work as well as her innovative universe. FLORAbundance combines her creativity as both painter and photographer. Although she stopped painting with a brush twenty years ago, the two mediums are reunited through lens and technology.

Holly Gordon is a working photographer coming from a fine arts background, and holds a Master’s Degree from New York University. She is a member of fotofoto Gallery in Huntington as well as Huntington Arts Council, Patchogue Arts Council and Long Island Photo Gallery in Islip, NY. Exhibited widely, including the American Museum of Natural History in NYC, The Heckscher Museum of Art, Studio 5404, Ripe Art, Patchogue Artspace and Denise Bibro Fine Art in Chelsea, Manhattan, her work has also appeared in published form in The New York Times, Shutterbug Magazine, National Wildlife Magazine, New York Newsday, Long Island Pulse, The Village Connection and dozens of other media channels. Kodak showcased her work on their professional site.

The Huntington Arts Council is proud to announce the “Personal Best 2014 Members Show” featuring the works of HAC member artists.  Incorporating a variety of media forms, nearly 90 pieces will be highlighted in two exhibits at the Main Street Petite Gallery.

William Grabowski, curator for the Huntington Arts Council’s Main Street Petite Gallery says, “the Arts provide us with many media from which we might create a unique interpretation of who we are as artists. When we uniquely combine our techniques with our spirit we produce our ‘Personal Best’.   All Arts Council members are urged to display a piece of visual artwork in our Main Street Petite Gallery that shows us at our best.  From these wonderful examples we will all benefit and be inspired for the future – personally and artistically”.

“Exhibit I” runs now through August 4th and will be followed by “Exhibit II”, running August 7th through September 2nd.

Participating in the Huntington Arts Council 2014 Members’ show are fotofoto gallery artists Andrea M. Gordon and Holly Gordon.

“Late September” by Barbara V. Jones

The public is invited to a slide presentation at the library Bay Shore – Brightwaters Public Library on Thursday, June 12th, 2014 at 7:30pm.  Local Photographer and fotofoto gallery artist Holly Gordon will share her shooting techniques and tips. This presentation is a must see for gardeners, garden lovers and photographers alike.

Perennial favorites taken with Kodak film more than a decade ago are fresh and vibrant. Recent works created in camera in Monet’s renowned garden, Giverny, France reveal her love affair with color and light. In Monet’s journal, Gordon read, that he was good at two things: gardening and painting…and she immediately saw an intimate connection as she was an avid gardener and painter long before she chose to focus on the camera for all her creativity. Her most current works are images digitally created with the use of NIK filters. The seeds of these blooms may have been planted in soil years ago, but fertile cyberspace has allowed them to germinate now…and it is ripe for viewing.

This is a free event!

This month at FotoFoto Gallery in Huntington, New York, two photographers’ visual documentaries explore life, death and life anew in the gallery’s May exhibit.

Patricia Beary’s “Whisper Loudly” features compelling images captured from European cemeteries.  “Narratives are exposed in the artifacts and architecture of memorials…as each image solicits inquiry…questions will outnumber answers as the viewer interprets incongruous relics.  In a setting honoring the dead, life is revealed.”

In relative contrast, “Tulips” by Holly Gordon “exalts the glorious tulips that have been photographed throughout her worldwide travels – from Monet’s garden in Giverny to our Long Island flowerbeds, and places in-between.”

The exhibit runs Friday, May 2nd through Sunday, May 25th, 2014.  Opening reception is Saturday, May 3rd from 5pm until 7pm.  Admission, as always, is free.  You are also invited to join the photographers on Sunday, May 25th for a “gallery talk” at 2pm.  Holly and Pat will offer insights into their works, their creative processes, inspirations and more.

FotoFoto Gallery is located at 14 West Carver Street.  Hours are Fridays from 5pm – 8pm, Saturdays from 12pm – 8pm, and Sundays from 12pm – 4pm.

FotoFoto is pleased to announce that three of our members  Scott Farrell, Andrea Gordon,and Holly Gordon are showing at “A Ripe Art Circus “exhibition held at Ripe Art Gallery at 1028 Park Avenue, Huntington, NY 11743   ripeartgal.com
