An exhibition of ‘quiet photography’
curated by Louise Copping
curated by Louise Copping
This solo exhibition includes a stunning range of work and is the first public showing of Dave Morgan-Davies’s new collection.
Dave Morgan-Davies’s work focuses on landscape and the built environment. His photographs and moving images are meditations on the character and poetry of particular places and moments.
The work retains a unique 'aura' revealing the beauty and mystery of rural landscapes. Location, light and composition are key to capturing a sense of place, with time of day and climatic conditions often having a powerful impact on the work.
By alluding to human activity and through the use of a distinctive chromatic range the work invites contemplation. It responds with subtlety showing that if one looks, an emotional connection can be found in a place, perhaps any place.
