BROOKLYN, NY.- Janet Borden Inc. is presenting Color, an exhibition of color photographs by a variety of gallery artists. There are certain qualities unique to color photography, and each of these artists is addressing at least one. The color makes these photographs particularly enticing, and different from other work.

Starting with Hanno Otten's spectacular large Colorblock, each image is dependent on the impact of the color. Generally, photographs selected for their information, their message, their narrative; Otten's light studies (Lichtbilde) are abstract large swaths of color delivering a punchy impression without a story.

Jan Groover's extraordinary still life has a Morandi-like simplicity, based on its colors. Groover has painted the bottles a matte gray to diffuse the color. The composition also has a Morandi-like complexity, with implied planes making various bottles more prominent.

Alfred Leslie's masterful pixel study of a woman's head is an amazement of color and surface. Leslie has produced this on the computer. His facility in drawing, and his understanding of the nuances of form and shade make this almost impossible to believe as a photographic print. He points out that Photoshop was invented to mimic the draftsman's talents.

Martin Parr's Seddlescombe is a classic photograph, including the delirium of colors of the Union Jack with a British sunbather's costume. This image is on the cover of Parr's iconic Think of England.

Neil Winokur's Glass of Water is a powerful evocation of both humor and obvious simplicity in blue. Fred Cray's Untitled #C is a kaleidoscopic view of the Deno's Wonder Wheel at Coney Island. The layered yellow color adds to the appeal of this somewhat hallucinogenic view.

Janet Borden Inc. is located at 91 Water Street, Brooklyn, New York in Dumbo. Gallery hours are Tuesday – Saturday, 11 -5.
