The Shapes Arise, an international online solo photography art exhibition by Christopher Fowler opens on May 01, and will continue for two months until July 01, 2024.
Christopher Fowler found three statements made by other artists that resonate with his approach to photography:
The first is from Dylan Thomas, who said art is about telling the truth.
The second is from Georgia O’Keeffe, who said what appeals to us about mountains and rocks and trees is not that they’re mountains and rocks and trees, but rather the lines, planes and textures they present to us.
The third is from Joseph Campbell, who said it’s the task of the artist to convey the radiance behind the physical reality.
In his own words, Chris doesn't do photoshop or otherwise manipulate images, aside from cropping and, when needed, truing the horizontals. He doesn’t even use filters or a lot of different lenses. His photos are quite literally what came through the lens. They may not be technically sophisticated, but they are--or at least they are meant to be--deeply felt.

Artist:
Although I have been taking photographs since high school, I have been exhibiting my work for the past 10 years.
I started out as a graphic artist, got interested in making animated movies in middle and high school, shifted over to live action movies (this was in the golden age of super-8 home-movie film), developed a particular interest in cinematography (an otherwise largely-forgotten film of Ingmar Bergman's called, "The Touch," was a particular inspiration); then in college I saw a print of Edward Steichen's famous photograph of the Flatiron Building and it's been photography ever since.
