Kene Sperry - Significant Other

SIGNIFICANT OTHER ARTIST TALK AND RECEPTION – MARCH 18, 2021 – 4 TO 8 PM Courtney Collins Fine Art – 32 Town Center Ave C-1 – Big Sky, MT

Significant Other a project featuring pairs in nature by photographer Kene Sperry.

A lone skier sketching serpintine lines into the side of an unnamed mountain. A bison trudging through a harsh snowscape. Rows of pine trees, stark against a flat backdrop, contrasted like the black and white of piano keys.

Whether with his feet on the earth, drawing inspiration for his next shoot, or aiming his camera from high above in a helicopter, Kene Sperry strives to capture, in a frame, the gravitating light within each of us.

“Significant Other,” features pairs in nature, representing the concept of dualism—that all beings, opposite or similar, are interconnected. Humans, for example, are always in a relationship, whether that be with another person, a group or oneself. “Significant Other” is meant to illustrate these relationships as a necessary balance, of light and dark between two beings, and their place in the landscape that surrounds them.

Kene Sperry, Fine Art Photographer

A father, artist, and adventurer, Sperry captures the light and dark of being human with the belief that when we face those contrasts, it builds the power to connect us. His intention in life and work is to be present, to guide with purpose and perspective, and to help others access their own divine light through his photographs. By untethering our beliefs and judgments, the viewer can lead a path to freedom and ultimately love more fully. As we move into a new decade, qualities of openness and patience are important now more than ever.
