📸Harold Strout: Visions of Light
OPENING THIS FRIDAY
Join us on Friday, August 28 from 5–8pm during the Artwalk for the Opening Reception of Harold Strout: Visions of Light
Harold Strout is a central Maine-based fine art photographer working with digital and large-format analog photography. His work is informed by cinema, experimental lighting and found objects, and expresses portraiture, landscapes, assemblage and conceptual themes in color and black and white.
He studied photography at Vermont College but is a primarily self-taught artist. Over twenty years of studio practice, his work has been shown in juried and solo exhibits throughout Maine, including at the University of Maine and the Blaine House, and has been published in the United States and Canada with the poetry of David Moreau.
Strout has also been featured as a guest speaker at the University of New Hampshire. His most recent affiliation with LA Arts has involved art documentation and portraiture with featured artists. For more information, visit haroldstrout.com.

"This collection of photographs represents many years of image making to the present. While the work spans portraiture, landscape, assemblage of found objects and conceptual genres, the curation is purposeful. What drives my creative exploration and unifies the exhibition is the treatment of light: how light has been expressed and how it reveals mood, memory and tone regardless of genre and subject. Whether the source is natural, carefully set up in a studio, or emanating from old television screens, the awareness and deep appreciation of light has been the greatest gift that photography has revealed to me. I invite you to consider the gift of light and how these images may contribute to your own visions."
