1^st ANNUAL PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBIT

Arevalo Gallery present its First Annual Photography exhibit titled INSIGHT, a group show featuring a select number of works from Latin American Modern masters, preeminent contemporary and two emerging Miami based photographers.

Each work aims to explore the notion of our exhibit’s title and its definition through the ordinary experience of contemplating an instant made permanent by photography.

Among the photographers in our exhibit, are the works by Miami based Eleonora Stein (Caracas, Venezuela, 1988) and Annie Saldaña (Santurce, Puerto Rico, 1987) who have focused their selection on one of the most challenging and profound subjects in photography: abstraction.

The work of Eleonora Stein is composed of 20 photographs in which the main focus is to challenge the notion of abstraction through a photographic process for which few references exist.  As such, fragments of arbitrary consistency compels in a sublime and groundbreaking installation.

The works of Annie Saldaña focuses on unveiling the geometric abstraction found within the architectural structures of a lesser-known Miami.  A beautiful recanting of the much-maligned pre conceived notions of our prosaic urban landscape.

On both series, a level of maturity, rare for their age and circumstance, is revealed, and as such the anticipation that precedes the intentions within our show’s title, cease to exist.
