Award-winning New York photographer, Howard Finkelson, creates a palette
of form, texture and color - a world between painting and photography - in his exhibition
"Great Walls of China."
"Great Walls of China" is a collection of photographs comprised
of new and old,
urban and village, natural and constructed walls photographed in Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou,
Yangshou, Macau and Hong Kong. The imagery is painterly photography that weaves form, texture and color.
As a lover of abstract art, Howard Finkelson has always identified his photo-art with the
spontaneous imagery created from an artist's palette. Filled with motion and life energy,
his photos reflect the palette created by nature's shifts of time and space.
"My work is the observation that art is everywhere", says the photographer, whose
work remains totally unmanipulated despite its totally original look. "I have come to
see that surfaces reflect their surroundings and China is one of the richest sources of
stored impressions on earth."
The photographer has received grants from such organizations as New York University and
The National Endowment of the Arts Foundation.
