Frederick Ballet
Whispers of Color: Subtle Stories of Imagined Reality
March 18-April12
Reception: Saturday, March 22, 3-6 pm
ABOVE: Frederick Ballet, Ethereal Shore, Digital Photography, presented as a face mounted acrylic, 40x30 inches
This immersive art show explores the interplay of color and imagination, inviting viewers to venture into an abstract yet familiar world where the boundaries of reality and fantasy coalesce.
Each photograph serves as a window into a narrative that evokes emotion and provokes thought, inviting audiences to see the world from a fresh perspective.
Frederick's photography runs the gamut from representational to surreal. He believes the true subject of the photograph is not the physical world, but rather the subconscious mind of the photographer. He studied at The Philadelphia Photo Art Center (now TILT Institute for the Contemporary Image) and became the first student to earn their Contemporary Practices Photography Certificate. This experience allowed him to hone his skills and develop his unique approach to abstract and surrealist photography with the ultimate aim to create dreamlike imagery that challenges the viewer's perception of reality.
As a New Jersey and New York based abstract photographer, he seeks to transcend the boundaries of reality and tap into the subconscious mind through his art. His photographs are not simply visual representations of the world around us, but rather explorations of the hidden corners of the mind. While experimenting with different techniques he always strives to allow the elements of the image to emerge naturally.
