AN Exhibition showcasing the work of New Forest based photographers is set to open at Exbury’s Palais des Vaches Art Gallery this weekend.
Looking to showcase top local and national talent, venue owner Caroline de Rothschild created a new space and co-curated Palais Photo with photographer Paul Close, highlighting New Forest-based photographers Nick Dawe, Sally Fear, Luke Parkinson, Steve Poole, Bev Saunders and Nick de Rothschild.
The work hangs alongside images by fashion photography icon Sam Haskins and contemporary conceptual artist Michael Meyersfeld.
Paul said: “From the magnificent early 1960s Sam Haskins’ images of ‘Cowboy Kate’ to the inside of the Fawley power station as it was decommissioned, from London on the weekend in 1975 to quirky contemporary township images from Johannesburg and the tranquillity of the landscape and wildlife of The New Forest, Palais Photo brings together the works of nine photographers, spotlighting their distinct individual approaches and creating a fascinating collection of the photographic image.”
Palais Photo can be seen at Palais des Vaches from 11am to 4pm on open weekends. Admission to the photography exhibition and gallery is free. For more information visit www.palaisdesvaches.co.uk
