OLIVER GORDON GALLERY

PRESS RELEASE

THE BIG PICTURE IS THE INAUGURAL EXHIBITION FOR THE OLIVER GORDON GALLERY.
WITH THIS EXHIBITION, THE OLIVER GORDON GALLERY PRESENTS THE PHOTOGRAPHY OF THE ARTISTS REPRESENTED AT THE STOCK PHOTOGRAPHY WEBSITE, STOCKTHATDOESNTSUCK.COM. OUR PHOTOGRAPHERS ARE FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD. FROM NEW YORK, TORONTO, STUTTGART, MUNICH, LOS ANGELES, WASHINGTON, COPENHAGEN, CALGARY, STOCKHOLM, FLAGSTAFF, PARIS, HELSINKI, HALIFAX, MILAN, CHICAGO, BRUSSELS, SAVANNAH AND VARIOUS PARTS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM, ALL THESE ARTISTS HAVE BROUGHT A CREATIVE DIVERSITY OF CONTENT, STYLE AND TECHNIQUE TO OUR COLLECTION OF PHOTOGRAPHS. THEY HAVE OPENED THEIR ARCHIVES AND PRESENTED THAT WHICH INSPIRES THEM.
THESE PHOTOGRAPHS ELOQUENTLY BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHY AND FINE ART. ALL IMAGES WERE INITIALLY MADE TO SHOWCASE A PHOTOGRAPHER’S OWN TALENT BUT WITHIN EACH IMAGE IS THE INTENT OF MAKING A GREAT PHOTOGRAPH. THE SAME INTENT IS THE MOTIVE FOR CREATING ART. WHICH IS WHY THE LINES BETWEEN ART AND COMMERCE HAVE BECOME SO BLURRED.
THIS OPENING EXHIBITION IS A COLLECTION OF BOTH PORTRAITS AND LANDSCAPES. THESE PHOTOGRAPHS HOLD MESSAGES THAT EMBRACE THE HUMAN SPIRIT. THEY SEE THE ORDER IN MODERN CHAOS AND FIND PEACE IN THE SIMPLICITY OF NATURE.
THE BIG PICTURE ALLOWS US TO SHOWCASE AND PRESENT FOR PURCHASE, PHOTOGRAPHY FOR PRIVATE AND CORPORATE COLLECTIONS THAT WOULD NORMALLY NOT COME TO MARKET.

OPENING: THURSDAY NOVEMBER 6th, 2008 AT 6:00 - 8:00 PM.

LOCATION: 80 SPADINA AVENUE, SUITE 501, IN TORONTO, ON, CANADA M5V 2J4
