JEFFREY CONLEY EXHIBITION "AN ODE TO NATURE"

10 JUNE - 24 SEPTEMBER 2023

"Photography is for me a kind of meditation that expands my perception of the existing and evolving world around us.
I seek refuge and simplicity in my photographs; And I find in it a personal fulfillment that I sincerely hope others can feel as well."

Jeffrey Conley

The American photographer Jeffrey Conley is part of the great tradition of landscape photography in the United States. Whether in America, Iceland, New Zealand or Switzerland, his sublime images of great poetry, pay tribute to the beauty of nature and reveal its spiritual dimension. The meditative radiance of his photographs results from a deeply contemplative approach to nature. Jeffrey Conley joins his great precursor Ansel ADAMS and, like him, his work embodies a plea to restore mindfulness and respect for nature.

This exhibition is a key moment in Jeffrey Conley's personal journey. Made up of 52 prints by the artist's hand, it was the starting point for a reflection on the evolution of his photographs and his life over the last thirty years.

A graduate in Photographic Studies from Rochester Institute of Technology, Jeffrey Conley taught at the Ansel Adams Gallery in iconic Yosemite National Park, in the heart of California's Sierra Nevada Mountains, where he honed his craft for years. Even though he spent his childhood in the Hudson Valley of New York State, Jeffrey Conley has always been fascinated by the wild vastness of the American West, sounding like a promise of adventure with its snow-capped peaks and deserts that are home to the most beautiful rock formations on the planet. Over time, he felt at home in this region conducive to total immersion in nature. She became a daily source of creative inspiration and comfort, which allowed her to find refuge.

Jeffrey Conley's photographs aim for a balanced simplicity that testifies to his sense of wonder and respect for the natural world. The scale varies, ranging from the smallest, intimate and subtle, to the largest, immense and dramatic. His treatment of scale, perspective and lighting results in images of unparalleled purity and tranquility.
Jeffrey Conley has mastered drawing techniques brilliantly. Whether it is silver gelatin, platinum or pigment printing, the works are all handmade with meticulous care and in-depth know-how. The artist leaves nothing to chance, from the surface structure and the quality of the paper, to the coloring and hand coating of the prints. His mastery can only be fully appreciated by looking at the original prints. The velvety surface and rich shades of black and gray are reminiscent of pen and ink drawings and are at the same time, an eloquent tribute to classical photography.
Jeffrey Conley's works have been exhibited and collected by museums and collectors around the world. He is represented in Europe by the Bildhalle Gallery.

"For all of us, our existence depends on the Earth. In an inhospitable universe, our little blue planet provides us with absolutely everything. I have never understood why gratitude for our planet is not at the top of our species' societal and spiritual priorities.

For as long as I can remember, it is on the outside that I feel most at peace. Nature has always been my refuge and sanctuary. I find the natural world infinitely wonderful in character and appearance, with moments of delicate and subtle intimacy, and others, immense and powerful. Nature is constantly evolving, and photography is uniquely suited to capture and amplify the swirling fluidity as well as the wonderfully fortuitous moments born of the ephemeral. Photographing nature is a very specific type of mindfulness exercise, it is being in nature with all the senses reactive, aware and completely receptive to the present moment. The photographs in this exhibition represent some of my observations as I studied nature in recent years; moments that express my fears, my wonder and my attachment to the Earth.

My photographs are taken in a darkroom using the platinum process, a 19th century hand-engraving technique that
