About Byra Zimmerman:
People often say of talented representationalist painters that their works are photorealistic. An inverse of that complement can be deservedly paid to Byra Zimmerman: her photographs seem like paintings. This has nothing to do with digital effects or filters—none of which she employs; rather, it all has to do with her framing choices, the natural light she captures and the way it illumines her subjects. Zimmerman has mastered the ability to bring texture—wood grain, whorls of glass, the lay and fall of fabric—out of the picture, so much so that her images seem possessed of an impossible stillness, seemingly too steady and self-revealing to be "merely" pictures. Her photos seem like paintings because they seem to show us something of the object that we would not see were the object itself literally in front of our eyes.
Byra Zimmerman's love of classic Dutch painters helped shape her approach to photographic imagery. She is based in Virginia, where she has been an award-winner at the Alexandria Festival of the Arts.
About Altered States of Reality:
Altered States of Reality provides a glimpse of the world as captured through the lens of a camera, technology, and through the artists own inner vision. The gifted artist's participating in Altered States of Reality offer us a perception of the world, as seen, through a complex, enigmatic fusion of emotions and technical mastery. The old boundaries have come tumbling down and the new reality has been altered and is forever changing. This exciting exhibition allows us to challenge our ideas, parables and perceptions that constitute our own reality.
