Cameraless Gestures
A one night exhibition of photography by R.J. Kern and Frank Lopez
WHAT: Rooted in cameraless image-making, the works in this one-night exhibition explore gesture, chemistry, time, and material transformation.
WHEN: July 23, 2026. A reception with the artists runs 4 - 7 p.m.
WHY: Frank Lopez and R.J. Kern share a creative connection through the chemigram process, which he taught me as part of his studio practice. I will present selections from the recent series Magnetic: Fields, while Frank will also share work from the ongoing project, Emanations.
Together, the exhibition offers a focused look at two distinct but interconnected approaches to photographic abstraction and experimentation.
The exhibition highlights the use of the silver gelatin chromo / chemigram process, with approximately a dozen works from each artist on view and offered for sale.
