Art in Photos - Mark Duncan

Tonight was the opening of new photographic exhibition here in Darwin.

Yes, an unashamed visual art afficianado........although ballet leaves me a bit cold, and that has caused some internal family squabbles too.

So........off we all went to the Framed Gallery [ see
http://www.framed.com.au/ - it is a good gallery] to see this new exhibition of - photographs.

Some pundits think photography is not art. NOT SO, in my view.

The photographer was Mark Duncan, one of several artists in the family, all doing different things. For more detail and prior work see
http://www.duncanimages.com.au/ although this present exhibition is not yet available to see online here.

Some stunning images of the Northern Territory, printed on a range of materials but mostly paper and textured canvas type materials, and large images.

They were mostly outstanding, although as always, there can be a few that do not "get" you.

A modest range of the images is on the site:

I am not placing a copy here...........look your self. They are worthwhile seeing!

Image I of Nourlangie Rock does not do the real photo justice.......it is a vibrant red rock image, and I must admit, I have seen the same location look that way. However, the images are very good overall.
