West Hollywood, CA – Acclaimed fine arts photographer Richard S. Chow unveils a compelling new body of work in his solo exhibition, Present Tense, at Gallery 825. The exhibition opens with a reception on October 26, from 10am to 5pm, and will be on display until November 22, 2024. Chow showcases his mastery of alternative cameraless photography, featuring an innovative collection of lumen and cyanolumen prints.

The title Present Tense symbolizes the re-purpose of vintage darkroom photo paper into contemporary art, transforming black and white photo paper into colorful creations, reflecting Chow's unique artistic vision. His work harnesses the elemental forces of light and nature to produce abstract imagery, capturing themes of impermanence and unpredictability. Through this analog process, Richard embraces the concept of "slow photography," where each piece becomes a unique record of time, imprinted directly onto light-sensitive paper.

This camera-less approach fosters deep contemplation and a meaningful investment of time in each image. By inviting viewers to engage in this meditative practice, the exhibit calls for a pause in the rush of modern life, encouraging an appreciation for the fleeting beauty that often goes unnoticed.

Join us at Gallery 825 for the opening reception on October 26 to experience Richard S. Chow's Present Tense.
