Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery “THROUGH THE LENS” is an exhibit of photography at Patricia Carega Gallery by two artists, one from Sandwich and the other from NYC with Sandwich connections. Brook Hedge and Jonathan Pellow, opened their exhibit on June 29. Both Hedge and Pellow bring a powerful artistic vision to their photographs. Hedge’s work is emotional, offering a visual challenge to the viewer through a delicate lens. Pellow’s architectural pictures take us to new optical heights that inspire breathtaking sensations. Both Hedge and Pellow remove us from the mundane. Their images are compelling. Today, with the iPhone camera’s popularity, one can easily forget the intricate and graceful process of the art of photography - lens, light, heart, mind - the ingredients needed to capture the artistic picture that is so present in this exhibit. Hedge’s and Pellow’s photography exhibit will be at the Gallery through July 18th. For any questions or further information, please contact Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery at 603 284-7728, [email protected], or visit the website at www.patricialaddcaregagallery.com.
