Geometry and artistic talent travel hand in hand in the photographic collage works created by David Carlysle Humphreys, displayed in a show at Ann Connelly Fine Art Gallery, 4221 Perkins Road, through Oct. 31.
The artist presents elegant close-up studies of single blossoms, so pure and pretty that it takes a second, intricate study of the work to detect the segments which are blended to create the total beauty of the flower.
It is this focus on the individual components of a single, isolated flower that makes it a dramatic and artistic triumph. The notion of segmenting a single flower and then reassembling the sections is intriguing, and the ability to study the sections of the floral structure while at the same time seeing the beauty of the entire blossom, when it is put together as it should be, gives the viewer a unique opportunity to appreciate the structure of the flower as well as the beauty of the blossom.
The Connelly Gallery joined other galleries in presenting groupings of works by several artists in its current exhibition.
Variety flourishes in exhibits throughout the city.
