Richard S. Chow Fine Art Photography Exhibits Convergent Evolution

Posted by RichardSChow in Photo

 

Press Release for upcoming solo show — hope you can attend on Sept 2.

 

Award-winning fine art photographer Richard S. Chow exhibits curated selections from multiple bodies of work at the Neutra Institute Museum Gallery from Aug. 29 – Sept. 17. Opening reception Sept. 2, 6 – 10 pm.

Los Angeles, CA, August 23, 2017 –(PR.com)– Fine art photographer Richard S. Chow exhibits a curated selection from his diverse body of work in a solo exhibit at the iconic Neutra Institute Museum Gallery. The exhibit includes selected works from several bodies of work including his URBANSCAPE and Distant Memories series and will debut new work. The exhibit is augmented by a comprehensive online portfolio at www.richardschow.com.

The artist has crafted a portfolio with distinct series that appear dissimilar in aesthetic, concept, and message but structurally they rely on strong composition, technical precision and a recurring commentary by the artist on social and cultural ideology with an artistic intent to engage the viewer in a dialogue with the art. It is these analogous structures with similar form applied to divergent bodies of work and subject matters that are the hallmark of the artist’s work.

The artist reception will be Sept. 2, from 6-10 pm. In addition to light refreshments, there will be an opportunity to meet the artist who will be signing his limited edition books.

Richard S. Chow is an award-winning fine art photographer based in Los Angeles, California. He has widely exhibited in solo and juried exhibits across the U.S. His work has been internationally published and is featured in several private and public collections including a recent acquisition by the American Hotel in Los Angeles. Richard is also represented by the following galleries – Gallery 825/LA Art Association, Gloria Delson Contemporary Arts, and Beyond The Lines Gallery.

The Neutra Institue Museum Gallery is housed in the iconic Neutra Office Building, owned and designed by Modernist architect Richard Neutra in 1950. It served as the studio and office for Neutra’s architecture practice from 1950 until Neutra’s death in 1970. The building has been declared a Historic Cultural Monument and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The gallery is located at:

The Neutra Institute Museum Gallery

Exhibit Review – on Richard’s Solo at Gallery 417, DTLA

Posted by RichardSChow in Photo

 

A tremendous thank-you to Mr. Joseph Hazani for this artful and insightful review on my Solo Exhibit at the 417 Gallery at Metro 417 in Downtown Los Angeles. This gives me encouragement to continue with my work and to explore new territories.

Actual review can be found here. I’d recommend you to follow Joseph as he reviews all forms of art including performances. He is also an acclaimed author and please check out his work at http://adilettante.com

 

May 27, 2017 

The beautiful thing about Richard Chow’s photographic art is that it makes such a perennial, concerted effort, to reveal to us the beauty that’s missing in our lives. He could be one of those exciting photographers which act as a continuum with the Classics in rendering a reality that is stunningly gorgeous, to unleash his imagination of what reality can possibly be, impregnating the human imagination thereby expanding the realm of possibility. But Mr. Chow performs a much more serious and challenging task: finding the beauty in the life we are given.

He continues with this raison d’etre in his URBANSCAPE artwork. Not satisfied with the ornamentation of color in architecture as he was before, he challenges himself further in reducing the perfunctory, the quotidian, the downright ignored around us, to reveal majestic geometries that could not otherwise be perceived unless we took the painstaking time to search for them. Mr. Chow does this charitable work for us, foraging around the city of Los Angeles, turning over architectural stones to reveal hidden gems abound.

And by gems, we mean objects of beauty we could not possibly apprehend unless it was filtered and titrated by the laboratory scientist that is Mr. Chow. His distillation takes ho-hum federal buildings and turns them into points of intrigue. Imagine that: the most blasé, bromidic, and brutish architecture can be not simply re-imagined but reborn to gives us an awe of wonder and henceforth gratitude for there being such beauty in even the most frankly ugly representations of bureaucratic girth. This successful artisanal effort must be praised.

And it’s actually paradoxical, then, that Mr. Chow is at his weakest when he captures the most architecturally inspiring work of Frank Gehry’s Disney Concert Hall. It isn’t that his work and its magisterial demonstration of contour, concentrated in such an exceptional minimalist format, is not provocative. But the fact that Mr. Gehry’s genius is so domineering makes it impassably consistent with Mr. Chow’s vision; we immediately know what building this is, because that is just how resplendent the Concert Hall is, thereby distracting us from concentrating on its aesthetic reduction. Beauty cannot be distilled because it is already there in its elemental form.

Speaking of contour, and of lines and of geometries, this is the technical epicenter of Mr. Chow’s work. We can hand-wave about the beauty that is shown, but full articulation is necessary. And it is that these photographs are beautiful because they give a sufficiency, a completeness and uniformity, to the man-made forms. It is all too easy for us to conduct a sense of awe when we look at the effortless beauty found in nature. When we look to our own man-made creations, there is an expectation that the effort cannot match the designs of natural phenomena.

The human being is too imperfect a creature to match it. Thus, to perceive such raw rationality in form, such overt intelligibility in the design due to the active hand of the use of reason in materializing a creation, is wondrous. These harmonies in lines and shapes with their modest completeness are inconceivable to be found as children born by Mother Earth. She enjoys almost scattered splashes of order which incidentally appear to us as magnificent. In a sense, then, Mr. Chow is capturing for us a plan of action that went accordingly! A marvel indeed for humanity! And above all else, a sense of appreciation of what mankind can potentially create. To commend mankind’s ability to create is just as fundamental to this terrific series. For it is indeed vital to be reminded how precious a gift it is.

Human Rights Project Exhibit at The Gallery Presents (Phantom Gallery LA)

Posted by RichardSChow in Photo

Human Rights Project at TGP – July 2 to Aug 21

Richard S. Chow

Title: Home Street Home

Medium: Fine Art Photography, framed 16×24”, Archival Pigment Print, Edition of 3.

Artist Statement:

Without hesitation, when I heard about the initiative, it is clear that I would create and submit to the show and be part of a movement that promotes awareness of Human Rights. I am proud to be one of the advocates and lend another voice to its importance. To further improve the gaps that exist globally, one must admit there is a problem – I hope this exhibit would highlight many facets of human rights issues and to encourage a dialog.

My image deals with the fundamental right to adequate shelter. One would think that homelessness is not as big as an issue in the U.S. but it is… As recently as 2015, Los Angeles elected leaders declared a ‘state of emergency’ on growing homelessness and committed over US$100M funding towards housing and other services for the homeless.

Solo exhibit review by Joseph Hazani, Art Critic and Podcast host

Posted by RichardSChow in Photo

 

Hello all:

The solo exhibit entitled Distant Memories, the same name as the fine art series, was held at The Gallery Presents (Phantom Gallery) in Hawthorne, California. The exhibit was shown from March to June 2016, and curated by Duce Stein.

It was also a featured event, by Lucie Foundation’s MOPLA, Month of Photography LA.

 

Solo Exhibit Review

by

Joseph Hazani

(Art Critic, Podcast Host on Fine Arts/Photography)

Distant Memories by Richard S Chow

Distant Memories is a completely new and evolutionary ensemble by the award-winning photographer Richard S Chow. He is known most prominently for his ability to photograph color, whereas here he escapes pigmentation completely, opting for black and white glances at everyday life. The choice to abstain from filling his compositions with color accentuates his evolution of a photographer toward creating compelling narrative within the frames. He, in other words, does not want the viewer to be distracted by the natural visceral beauty which can be accidentally stunning when he snaps his camera. Instead, he wants us to concentrate on the humanity on display.

There are probably two dozen or so of these frames that were aligned linearly, as is commonly found in family homes which roll-out the family members and the ancestry of the residents. Here, however, we don’t always see human life and activity; there are still photos of the aspects of such life which nevertheless are a part of our very fabric which go unnoticed – like the air we breathe. And yet, how needed such air is, much like our footwear which Mr. Chow photographs, and how unconcerned we are for this necessity until it is taken away from us. Even something as discomforting as a missing shoe before we leave the house can be infuriating, and yet, why do we not say a prayer every day when our footwear and apparel are exactly where we need them to be?

This is the definitive message Mr. Chow wishes his audience to meditate upon: why do we not have more gratitude in our lives? Why do we take for granted as inhabitants of Los Angeles, for instance, being so close to the Pacific Ocean, when there are those who live their entire lives thousands of miles away from it, and will chart an expedition just to touch its waters? Why do we not appreciate more deeply the preciousness of being with our children? Of even the pregnant gestation of life itself? Just because something is ordinary and unexceptional, as is the case of the instances I just mentioned, does not make them meaningless. Indeed, the beauty of drawing out the meaning from mediocrity, as Mr. Chow does here, is to reveal that such goodness can be had so easily and abundantly by everyone with equal standing. These are universal possessions which transcend age, race, class, and gender.

And yet many in life neglect their attainment. Many concentrate their focus on negativity. Mr. Chow’s intentional inclusion of the interior view of a camera lens frame in his photographs indicates, much as a director of a film, an intention for the viewer to focus on the good things in life. And these things will always transcend the material medium which snags and weighs so many downward, toward a persistent attitude of ingratitude. Learning to need what one has, and to be grateful for what it gives, leaves a person much healthier than a person in persistently, disappointingly, pursuit of temporary bliss.

Curator project for LA Photo Curator

Posted by RichardSChow in Photo
  • Curating project “Memories” – am honored to be the curator for the November exhibit at LA Photo Curator. Winners have been selected, please see LA Photo Curator website for 1st, 2nd and 3 honorable mentions. Congratulations to the winning photographers.

Curator project winner image

 

CURATOR RICHARD S. CHOW: “Each submission in this open call is unique and compelling. Photographers offered their interpretations of “memories” with a wide variety of quality images. I immensely enjoyed reviewing each entry, and I’d to mention that the margin of placement were tiny.

For the first place winner, I have selected Samanta Aretino, whose image offers many layers of complexities for the viewers to contemplate. Aside from being aesthetically compelling, in the image I see a gamut of sentiments… joy, sadness, indifference, steady gaze, and last of all a sense of secrecy, an unanswered and enigmatic mystery. This image plays well with the theme of memories, often not so distinct and with seemingly unconnected fragments.”

Chow askes Aretino, “How does this image, Memories in Motion, relate to your own unique memories, and how was that manifested?”

SAMANTA ARETINO: “My image “Memories in motion” is related to my own memories because it express the way my memory travels, shifts, moves towards moments of my life, both in adolescence and childhood, where different emotions are mixed.
The image generated by this movement is not static, it is not defined. I can´t see it completely because it is distorted by the same memories and the new experiences.”

————————————————————–

Read more about first place winner Samanta Aretino:
Gifted with a strong affinity for cityscapes and color, many of Aretino’s photographs focus on women, children, and urban landscape.

However, her work never comes off as something simply dedicated to a cause.
She explores multiple techniques and subjects.

With clever and skillful framing, Aretino forces her viewers to care about her subjects and take an interest in them.
Although they appear frequently isolated, there’s an implication of the world around them that makes them more than lonely, existential figures.

Aretino emigrated from Buenos Aires, the country of her birth, to Spain in 2001. She says this experience greatly affected her work and made her look at the world in a different way, with the knowledge that there are many ways to live, create, express, feel, and relate to people. Aretino’s photographs reflect this understanding: they’re an exploration of the world and how people navigate through it. www.samantaaretinophoto.com

CALL FOR ENTRY
Memories

Everyone has them and they influence who we are at the most fundamental level. How the human brain sifts through our collective life experiences to cull over only selective moments to retain remains a mystery, however insight into the formation and retention of our earliest memories suggests that peoples’s memories often begin with significant personal events infused by their nature with emotion. This month’s juried exhibition encourages the photographer to explore the notion of how memories are retained and played back in the psyche of the person who holds them, and to represent the artistic interpretation visually. For the purpose of this theme, please try to focus on early memories in your life, however, feel free to adjust or create as you see fit. There are no specific rules except that they are your photographs and most importantly they are your imagination. Supplementing your visuals with an artists statement is encouraged.

L.A. Photo Curator is proud to have Richard S. Chow as this month’s curator for the theme of “Memories.” Chow is a fine art and documentary photographer that has exhibited in galleries and online across the United States and internationally. Chow’s solo show in downtown L.A. earlier in 2015, “Memories Redux”, brought lots of high praise. Chow has also placed twice in the prestigious Lucie Foundation International Photography Awards.

For more info about Chow please go to:

A percentage of artist fees will go to Chow’s charity http://www.createnow.org

Submit work: September 29- October 27, 2015 (Midnight PST)

Opening date for show and online review: November 2 , 2015
Show closes and is archived on website: November 30, 2015

Gallery photos for my solo exhibit “Memories Redux”

Posted by RichardSChow in Photo

The opening night was jammed packed, and didn’t really take any photo during that night. WHAT! I am not a photographer, right!?

I felt bad that I could not speak to everyone. Thanks to a lot of my peeps who came out. And even some iconic photography figures – you know who you are and thank you both for coming out to see and the positive feedback!  🙂

The debut of my newest series Distant Memories was exciting.

And thanks to Cause Gallery!
