Interior Landscape

In Brief: San Francisco photographer Carol Charney creates contemplative compositions, pushing the boundaries between photography and painting. Using water and ice to create texture and brushstrokes, Charney captures points of transition, where interior meets the outside world.

“In a fraction of a second, the camera has the ability to capture unadulterated realism, while through the veil of a stream of water the selective focus of the camera‘s lens allows for the painterly abstraction to simultaneously exist. Transported to a contemplative state that becomes more profound each time we view the work, these Interior Landscapes become visual meditations. In this way, I’m simulating the experience of looking at a painting that is actually a photograph.”
 
Carol Charney has exhibited her work for over a decade throughout the US. Her works can be found in public and private collections, including the Microsoft Art Collection, American Capitol Art Collection, Chapman University Permanent Collection of Art and IndyMac Bank Corporate Art Collection.
