Jim Stasiak: Photographs and Improvisations

Opening Reception: Saturday 2nd March 5pm – 7pm

Artists Talk: Sunday March 24th

LAND Gallery in Pawling, New York and the Sherman Artists Association are pleased to announce a new show by photographer Jim Stasiak ”Photographs and Improvisions”. His photographs of a simple leaf take one into a new dimension of seeing, emotion, and expertise. Stasiak’s belief is that digital applications are specialized tools that can expand the creative range and perception of the artist in an intuitive, beneficial manner.

“Photography is a revealing art. I rely on emotion and expertise to recognize an image, and skill, taste and judgment to reveal an energetically attractive interpretation.” says Stasiak. Much like jazz improvisation, his work evolves in stages which focus and intensify his emotional connection with the emerging image. There is always a blend of conscious decision with mindful guidance. He wants the viewer to perceive new context, new color, new structure, new projections and new feelings–and improvise with their own mind’s eye.

Stasiak is an award-winning photographic artist, musician and printing arts professional living in New Milford, CT. His photography spans documentary, creative, travel and constructed imaging, using film since 1965, digital since 1995, and fully digital since 2002. He has taught photographers and artists how digital tools affect the photographic process, how traditional skills can translate from the physical to the metaphysical, and how to optimize images to best utilize the technical considerations inherent in producing digital art.

Spring featured Photographer: Linda Hubbard

Linda T. Hubbard is a fine art photographer who is a native of New England and has lived for many years in the Hudson River Valley. Her photographs take you to places that you would like to be, seasons that warm and cheer, or peaceful settings that soothe your soul. She has been a staunch supporter of LAND Gallery since its opening year and is one of many local arts organizations where she volunteers her valuable time. Linda can be found at the gallery most Thursdays as well as helping during our events. We are thrilled to feature her work throughout March and April, although you can always find a little something of Linda’s beautiful photography throughout the year.
