PDNB Gallery celebrates its 30th year by revealing highlights of its international artists. Throughout the span of 30 years, PDNB has looked far and wide for great talent. This includes engaging with artists from the following countries: Argentina, Mexico, Cuba, Spain, Brazil, Czech Republic, Japan, Korea and China and more foreign lands.
In the gallery’s earlier years, Argentine artist Esteban Pastorino Diaz’s career flourished. His engineering background led to making cameras and creating a Guinness World Record for longest photographic negative in 2012. And his popular aerial series was created by flying a kite with a camera attached.
Wu Jialin was an important documentary photographer that explored his homeland in the Yunnan Province of China. A stunning view of a County Town shows a birds eye view of a village in the mountains.
Surrealism plays a strong role in Spanish artist, Chema Madoz’s work. He often combines two or more disparate objects together in his studio creating humorous and thoughtful imagery.
Jan van Leeuwen, an artist from The Netherlands, often took self-portraits. He loved to work with 19th Century print making processes: Cyanotypes, Van Dyke etc. Perhaps one of his most profound works will be included in this show, Barbed Wire. This series is based on his memory as a child, watching Nazi soldiers transport Jews to Concentration Camps.
Many other artists are included in this important group show. PDNB Gallery would like to give special thanks to the FotoFest Biennial Meeting Place for giving us the opportunity to review portfolios of works by artists from all over the world. Additional artists in this exhibition include:
