Mark Highton-Ridley ParkArt exhibition in Plymouth (preview)
03rd September 2008Art mixes with science when the striking work of fine art photographer Mark Highton-Ridley goes on show at the Tamar Science Park this autumn.
Mark’s black and white photography will be exhibited as part of ParkArt - a rolling programme of exhibits at the Tamar Science Park by local artists. There will also be regular Meet the Artist events.
The BBC said of Mark’s work: "His fascination with the black and white genre, interest in perspective and strong lines in his photos, truly shows Plymouth in a striking and arresting light."
Mark told WOSW: "I’m attracted to tone and texture, pattern and perspective and structure and abstraction.
"When I spot such qualities in everyday scenes and objects, and bring them out in the digital darkroom, it’s like seeing with fresh eyes... there’s beauty to be found in the most unexpected of places."
He continued: "I was first taken by the magic of black and white photography and the alchemy of the wet darkroom as a teenager at school. Now, with digital technology, I can achieve the sorts of images I could see in my mind's eye, but that were beyond the reach of chemical-based photography.
"I hope you are drawn to my work and you find something that rouses an inner response, something that you can connect with."
If you do connect with Mark’s work, he’d be delighted to hear your comments via email at photos@highton-ridley.co.uk
Everyone who emails him will be entered in a draw to win the mounted print on display (or a same-sized alternative), to take place at the end of the exhibition.
