Toshio Shibata "Landscape"
This is a great little exhibition. For those scared of people, retrospectives, art museums, or those with not much time and/or money, it offers an interesting alternative to the Toshio Shibata retrospective that is currently on show at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography.
Inward looking, meditative landscapes of large, man-made structures - it's fantastic to be able to see them in a more intimate setting with no distractions. You can get up close and see the beauty of the 8X10 film format in the details it is able to offer, or just stand back an enjoy the overall impression conveyed by the images. Shibata's printing skills are also to be applauded, as he is a master at bringing out the varying texturesof his landscapes with just the right amount of contrast and exposure. Oh, and if you have the money ($18,000USD+) you can buy whatever is on display.
Highly recommended.
