SEEN : An Exhibition of Fine Art Landscape Photography by Tina Stallard

Greenwich Theatre Art Gallery
3 February – 6 April 2010

The images in “SEEN” reflect the beauty and mystery of the natural world: moiré sand stretching to an invisible horizon, the movement of a wave breaking on the beach, a dandelion shimmering in the light, a flamingo trailing patterns in the silt.  The photographs span three continents but are unified by Tina Stallard’s sensitivity to colour, light and form.  Tina began her photographic career using black and white, and many of the images use a restricted range of colours, creating a profound sense of space and serenity.

The apparent simplicity of the photographs allows them to work on different levels: we can view them initially as the representation of a cavern or tree or beach, then as we search for the boundary between sea and sky, for a faint horizon beyond the mist, for the divide between land and water, they begin to challenge our perception of space and perspective.  Some of the images resonate as fragments of archetypal narratives: the hint of unknown danger deep below the dark water, the impenetrable forest, the glimmer of light across the vast snowfield.

Tina is an award-winning professional photographer and filmmaker, who has lived in Greenwich for more than 20 years.  She worked at the BBC as a television producer for many years before embarking on a successful freelance career.  Her documentary photo-essays on contemporary social issues have been published in the Times and the Sunday Times and in magazines around the world, and her films have been shown nationally and internationally on the BBC, BBC World and Al-Jazeera.  Tina’s landscape work has been influenced by her study with leading photographers such as Fay Godwin, John Blakemore, and Freeman Patterson.  Her work has been exhibited in Oxford, Birmingham and Leicester, and in London, at the House of Commons, the Institution of Civil Engineers and in the Barbican Library.
