NE Heights ARTScrawl Reception – October 17, 2008 5:00- 9:00 pm

Photographer Jill Greenberg (Montreal 1967) once said that “a photograph is not necessarily the “truth”; it doesn’t necessarily prove that anything happened”.

In Castelo, Mandell, Melhop: 3 Contemporary Photographers we are witnesses to snippets of the truth. Furtive glimpses of things that have been or perhaps things that will be….Timeless images. Versions of the “truth” filtered through the imagination of these artists.

The silence in Luis Castelo’s images is as deafening as it is magical. His photographs of plants, both terrestrial and marine, permeate with sadness and isolation. The specimens are crystallized, plucked from their environment in order to distill the very essence of their external beauty. This beauty masks the reality and permanence of the already dead plant, stripped of its natural suppleness.

The documentary photos of Gerald Mandell capture in black & white simplicity, understated images of New Mexican life as it used to be. Shot during the 1960’s, they transport us to a landscape of desolate beauty of open, limitless skies. These never seen before quintessentially Southwestern images, are unscripted reality without any of the modern clichés.

The imaginary worlds of Frances Melhop’s photographs are filled with unusual creatures. In his Faeries series, she transforms the ordinary into the most playful of realities. Delicate living beings of miniature proportions and familiar nursery rhyme characters populate these curious images that invite the viewer to believe. These are photographs that present to us that which is seen with your heart rather than with your mind.

Castelo, Mandell, Melhop: 3 Contemporary Photographers runs from October 17 to November 15, 2008. The reception, free and open to the public, will take place on Friday, October 17th 2008 from 5 to 9 pm. Three high resolution images are attached to this press release.
