∆ Come to the opening dressed as your astrological sign to be entered into a raffle and win a FREE 8"x10" print! ∆
Electra Gallery is proud to present James O’Connell in The Stars Dream Darkly, his first solo photography exhibition. For this monumental debut, O’Connell continues to push the boundaries of his favorite historical photographic methods with hauntingly poetic wet plate collodion interpretations of the astrological signs. O’Connell’s new pieces are rooted in his signature tintype portraiture and result from countless hours of studio sessions transforming local Santa Fe models into dreamlike mythological figures shrouded in shadow. Twelve provocative original plates, and limited edition archival prints, display a sumptuous range of tones, from velvety black to silvery white, drawing in the viewers gaze and speaking to O’Connell’s mastery and dedication to his light-based craft.
