TERRE HAUTE — Chelsea’s Agora Gallery in New York City will feature Indiana artist, R. John Ferguson, in “Altered States of Reality: an Exhibition of Analog and Digital Photography.” The exhibition is scheduled to run from April 16 through May 7.
Ferguson is an award-winning photographer with a variety of interests that capture the surreal echoes in our world. Within his body of work we can find landscapes featuring divine moments of interplay between light, mist, and natural forms, as well as majestic figural studies. Each 35mm film photograph is finely crafted with attention to lighting, clarity and cropping. Ferguson allows the unexpected to influence the picture, as nature puts its fingerprint on his work in the form of halos of light, craggy tree limbs or drifting snow and cloud formations. Through these creative visualizations Ferguson seeks to connect on a deep level with audiences in a timeless fashion.
“My photography is based on inspirations from the beauty that surrounds us,” he explains. “I want my art and my visions to be not only seen but experienced by the viewers of today and the viewers of tomorrow.”
Ferguson continues to create and exhibit his photography, and he has attracted acclaim from other influential artists. He lives and works in Terre Haute.
Consumed with exploring our world as they uniquely see it, the artists in Agora Gallery’s “Altered States of Reality: an Exhibition of Analog and Digital Photography” use a myriad of visual vocabularies and technologies. Differing in method, these artists share in the passionate quest to articulate the moments often ignored in everyday life. Influenced by Surrealism and Abstractionism alike, these artists boldly investigate their psyches and natural surroundings.
The results, at once harmonious, perplexing and alluring, take us on an inspirational visual journey.
