West Hollywood, CA – Gallery 825 proudly presents Richard S. Chow's solo exhibit, Present Tense, opening on October 26, 10am to 5pm. This innovative series showcases Chow's masterful exploration of alternative cameraless photography, featuring a captivating collection of lumen and cyanolumen prints.

Present Tense symbolizes the re-purpose of vintage darkroom photo paper into contemporary art, reflecting Chow's unique artistic vision. His work harnesses the elemental forces of light and nature to produce abstract imagery, capturing themes of impermanence and unpredictability. Through this analog process, Richard embraces the concept of "slow photography," where each piece becomes a unique record of time, imprinted directly onto light-sensitive paper.

This camera-less approach fosters deep contemplation and a meaningful investment of time in each image. By inviting viewers to engage in this meditative practice, the exhibit calls for a pause in the rush of modern life, encouraging an appreciation for the fleeting beauty that often goes unnoticed.

Join us at Gallery 825 for the opening reception on October 26 to experience Richard S. Chow’s Present Tense. The exhibit will be on view until November 22.
