John Dolan’s photographs revel in the extraordinary that lies beneath everyday, fleeting occurrences. And in this eloquent collection of twenty images shot in ravishing color and black and white over the past twenty years, the often hidden essences of people, places, and objects are made plain, as if in dreams. Frequently placing his subjects at center, Dolan extracts from them their raw spirit and underlying energies, creating gripping drama within a short story-type form. In the invitational piece Blue House, Ireland, the powerful glow of a glorious late dusk appears to overwhelm a small cottage marked by oddly human features. As if shaken by a strong wind or set inside a snow globe, the house seems suddenly vulnerable and alone yet heroically stands strong within the light. Pacific another work, displays a human encounter with a similarly powerful force of nature. Viewed from behind, a man and a woman wade up to their knees in the bubbling white surf of the Pacific. While the woman hangs back, seeming tentative, the man has pushed on and now pauses in contemplation. Just ahead the froth has grown to a great height and like a cloud, has merged with a seductively shimmering sky. A New York-based photographer for the past fifteen years, John Dolan was raised outside of Washington DC. After graduating from Beloit College with a B.A. in Art, he worked as a master printer for Sylvia Plachy and became well known for his photographs of celebrity weddings. He has twice received awards from the Society of Publication Designers. Dolan’s recent clients in editorial and advertising include Martha Stewart Living Magazines, Travel and Leisure, Banana Republic, Lexus, The Gap, and AT&T. Dolan’s work has appeared in several group shows at the Robin Rice Gallery. This is his first solo show.

Orlando

Price for UNFRAMED item The Robin Rice Gallery proudly announces SUMMERTIME Salon 2018, an annual photography exhibit featuring gallery artists as well as a few newcomers. This year’s opening reception will be held on Wednesday, June 27th from 6 – 8 PM, and the show will be on view until September 23rd, 2018 Rice has brought together the works of 55 gallery artists and nearly a hundred photographs for this salon-style exhibition. From floor to ceiling, the walls of the gallery are a mosaic of various size photographs in sepia, color and black & white, expertly hung to fit together like pieces of a puzzle. “This is my favorite exhibition even though it takes months to curate and a week to install,” says Rice. “I love the moment when a viewer is first drawn to an image. Sometimes in’s indefinable; a moment when the viewer not only shares but reconnects to an experience remembered.” Each year, the Summertime Salon matures and Rice’s annual masterpiece is revealed to showcase an exhibition stronger than the year before. Rice has a close relationship with the works of her photographers, and strategically curates the show to best exemplify the artists’ strengths, remaining cohesively linked by Rice’s aesthetic. This year’s invitational image, Hoop and Ball by Nenad Samuilo Amodaj is from a series of one hundred photographs. Rice chose three photographs from Amodaj’s series to create a triptych on the back wall of her gallery for this exhibition. The invitational image is of a standing semi-nude woman in profile wearing a hoop skirt. Her entire head rests inside of a large white plaster ball that she holds above her. He explained: “I wanted to explore the abstract architectural properties of the hoop skirt, a clothing item with curious geometric form that appears both in nature and in the world of artifice.” Before photographing the model he created numerous figure drawings that helped solidify his vision for the series. Male nude...
