Digital BW, The Print

Stumbled on a show today in Atlanta at the Sandler Hudson 
Gallery. BW inkjet prints by a guy named Fernando La Rosa. 
Mostly roots, leaves, botanical stuff. Nice images, but they 
appeared to be shot with either a digital camera, or they were 
badly underscanned. Bad pixelation; very noticeable. Looked like 
he was using quad inks; no crossover; good tonalities. They 
were priced between $750 and 1100. Prints would have been 
nice if he'd left them smaller. If you live near Atlanta, you might 
check that out. It's on Peachtree (what isn't?), south of Buckhead.

Also saw a show of large format color at Jane Jackson Gallery; a 
guy named David Hilliard from Yale. CPrints mounted on 
aluminum (with no frames). I was not smart enough to 
understand the show. But in the side room were a bunch of tiny 
BW prints that were gorgeous.

Seeing strong work is so good. It gets me excited, then 
depressed, then excited again. Then, of course, depressed 
again.

Jackson Fine Art has great mojo/spirit.

And here's the heavyweight gallery there. Too dressed up for me, 
but they had some fine work:
