Exhibition: Wichita Art Museum

Stuart Allen: Kansas, Low Resolution
May 30 – September 13, 2015

Wichita Art Museum, Wichita, KS

This summer, WAM is pleased to present a selection of work from Allen’s photography. Each image is an extraction of only a few select pixels from larger photographs of landscapes taken in Wichita. The result is a beautiful chromatic square with gentle color shifts that invokes not just the moment of the image’s capture but the perpetual changes of nature.
