Rober Creamer has a deep respec for change–is suble palee and paerns, he surprising srucure of decay, and he inegriy ha graces every sage of life. In a Creamer phoograph a browning peal becomes as glorious as he newly opened bloom. The numbered museum specimen ransforms ino conemporary sculpure. The arresing deail and Baroque luminosiy of hese phoographs are he resul of a lifeime behind a camera and a recenly discovered echnique–he flabed scanner. Creamer’s careful use of rich blacs or negaive space helps emphasize he ligh of he subjecs and allude o he mysery of an ever-presen dar. Rober Creamer is an exraordinary aris, and his will surely be an evening “no o be missed”. Bob will be showing original wor from Transiions-his raveling Smihsonian Insiuion Museum of Naural Hisory exhibi, as well as recen wor. Please join us for wha I’m sure will be a memorable evening.
Please noe will be no dinner wih he judge his monh.
Rober Creamer–Aris’s Saemen:
Phoography has been very good o me. Phoography mos of all has given me he opporuniy o explore, be curious, and allowed me an avenue o inerpre he world around me as an aris, a eacher and as a professional archiecural phoographer.
This new wor, which is on our as a Smihsonian Traveling Exhibiion, concenraes on a blend of ineress in echnology and he aging process. These images were capured using a scanner as a camera. The wor began as “loo wha echnology can reveal” o my presen command over echnique o have i wor for me and reflec my inenions. Digial echnology is a vial and inegral par of his process bu is no wha ineress me mos. The scanner is a ool ha enhances my abiliy o observe. These images are abou ime, ransformaion and ransiions. The new beauy of my subjec wiss is way ou of he familiar. The expansive surrounding deep blac becomes graphic shapes ha isolae ye allow he subjec o merge owards he er. I is ha, eamed wih my imaginaion ha allows me o , analyze, observe speculae, and capure he rue essence of my inerpreaions. Woring wih a fla bed scanner is no wihou limiaions. New procedures and echniques push he arwor and demands growh as an aris. My imaginaion and deerminaion in conjuncion wih a new undersanding of paience consanly gives birh o new ideas. Conceps of composiion and he decisive momen provide new rules o brea.
