The Art of Light: Chrome-A-Zone
January 3, 2011 – February 28, 2011
Lumens Light + Living and The Center for Contemporary Art, Sacramento’s Gallery Associates Mariana Moscoso and Stacey Wong are pleased to present Chrome-A-Zone, a photography exhibition by the Sacramento photographer Donald Satterlee. In this series, Satterlee’s photographs of custom classic automobiles recontextualize the curves of ornate fenders and hood ornaments into an anthropomorphic experience.
Donald Sattlerlee works as a commercial advertising photographer in the Sacramento area and produces many of the images seen in ads, brochures, annual reports and billboards around Northern California. In Satterlee’s Chrome-A-Zone series, he challenges our perception of custom cars by capturing the classic lines of polished chrome and the shimmer of metallic paint and transforming them into anthropomorphic figures. The way light reflects on the automobiles’ surfaces is emphasized by sensuous curves, animating the images and bringing them to life.
About the “Art of Light” series:
Lumens Light + Living has invited Mariana Moscoso and Stacey Wong from The Center for Contemporary Art, Sacramento to collaborate on a series of exhibitions called The Art of Light. In this yearlong series, we will explore how artists have taken the concept of light, to create a unique visual experience using both traditional and nontraditional media. The visual possibilities of light are infinite and only limited by the artists’ unique experience.
