Obscura Gallery presents the group exhibition, Picturesque Summer, radiating the vibrant palettes and warmth of summer through the photography of four female photographers, all of whom are instructors at the Santa Fe Photo Workshops. Each artist in the exhibition works in her own unique approach to the photographic medium: Susan Burnstine captures the essence of her dream-world in photographs taken with self-made cameras; Rania Matar captures the beauty and strength of the women in Lebanon working on the reconstruction of their country; Aline Smithson’s inspiration comes from paintings by James McNeil Whistler, and her work pushes the boundaries of the photographic medium through innovations at the intersection of photographic processes; and Jennifer Spelman captures vibrant moments from colorful Cuba, where she leads photographic exchanges in the country.
