Bob Poe's "Illumination" (10/10)


Hmmm, this iPhone seems to get popular all the time. Bob Poe's latest exhibition is created on the iPhone and printed on canvas.

Shot throughout the Los Angeles and Santa Monica area, the spontaneous nature of the iPhone lets Poe capture images that, when viewed at length, display curious juxtapositions, symbolism and humor. As each photograph unfolds, it offers viewers an opportunity to apply their own personal, artistic and philosophical interpretation. Unintentional visual distortions resulting from the iPhone's inherent limitations provide a playful temperament to much of the work, and add ambiguity to otherwise straightforward images.

"I am looking forward to exhibiting my work at a well-respected venue such as Bergamot Station," said Poe. "One of my goals is to encourage those who are not artists by trade to pursue creative outlets, and I hope my photography offers proof that a career can develop from these initial experimentations."

October 10th Saturday. Opening Reception 5-7 pm
