Abstracts opens on 7 March

Abstracts is a new photographic exhibition by New Gisborne photographer Martin Leitch, to be held at The Gallery Mount Macedon during March. When Martin looks at the environment that surrounds him, he sees things that most of us do not observe. His photographs unveil a different way of looking at the built and natural environments, framing his view of the world with abstract meaning and graphical interpretation. His images are aimed at creating a stunning focal point or curious conversation starter by challenging the viewer to come to their own interpretation through close examination of the subjects.

This exhibition presents a small selection of Martin’s work on high-quality framed archival papers, acrylic and aluminium.

Images from his Salt Collection depict the natural environment in ways the viewer would not normally experience. Photographed at Lake Tyrrell, these selections invite the viewer to arrive at their own interpretation of what they see. The exhibition also includes images from his Balcony Collection. These were photographed in Melbourne with the intention of highlighting the graphical impact of architecture on the urban environment. However, on closer inspection, these images also give the viewer hints of the daily lives of their occupants.

For more information contact Martin Leitch on 0400 695 088 or Sue Anson 0413 581 632.

You are invited to view the Abstracts exhibition at The Gallery, 684 Mt Macedon Road, Mt Macedon (behind the Trading Post), from Tuesday 7 March to Saturday 1 April (closed Wednesdays and Thursdays).
