Santa Fe, New Mexico.- The Verve Gallery of Photography is pleased to present an exhibition with three artists, the collaborative team of Jeff Charbonneau and Eliza French (known simply as Charbonneau/French) and artist Jennifer B. Hudson. These artists work narratively, using stories and ideas that play out visually in their staged imagery. Jennifer B. Hudson’s small prints will grace the walls of the smaller and more intimate room in the gallery and Charbonneau/French’s large scale work will be exhibited in the main gallery space. The exhibition is on view through Saturday, December 31st. The collaborative team Jeff Charbonneau and Eliza French (Charbonneau / French) debut their first exhibition at Verve Gallery with 21 large-scale photographs from both their Massillon and Playground series. Their work has been appropriately described as images with Victorian-era aesthetics and a 19th century craftsmanship. They produce their work by combining traditional black and white darkroom techniques with contemporary photographic processes. The Massillon series takes its name from the Ohio town where Eliza French’s great-grandmother, Zeta Eliza Woolley, lived at the turn of the 20th century.
