Portland, OR.- The Camerawork Gallery is proud to present “Andrzej Maciejewski: Garden of Eden” on view at the gallery from August 20th through September 23rd. “Garden of Eden” is a series of still-life photographs of fruits and vegetables. They are inspired by the Old Masters paintings, but they show our modern fruits from supermarkets. It’s an example of the difference between the stereotype created by our culture and reality created by our civilization. The photographs were taken using large format Sinar view camera on 4×5 inch colour transparencies. The artist used tungsten lighting, which helped him to re-create the atmosphere of the old paintings.
