The Gallery at WCTV now features the art of Denn Santoro
The Gallery at WCTV presents an exhibit of "Parts of Things" fine art photographs by Denn
Santoro, from May 1, 2011 through June 24, 2011.
Mr. Santoro's photos generally concentrate on the interplay of angles and shapes and light.
When asked about his style, Denn responded "I compose with a point of view that is intended
to confound the viewers' normal perspective and view of the world. I enjoy playing with the
viewers’ perceptual tendencies in ways that make them engage with the image as they try to
force it into a more usual perceptual framework." Denn does this by using radical perspectives,
tight and unusual composition, and subtle lines that skew the perspective in a way the mind
tends to reject and readjust, placing the focus in unexpected places or the simple inclusion of odd
detail.
"I often create photos that are an abstraction of the subject such that it is hard to recognize at first
or at all. The viewer, offered a perspective they would be unlikely to see in everyday experience,
should engage with the subjects of the work and, hopefully, see them in a new way." Denn
added. It seems that he always tries to make his work visually interesting and perceptually
difficult. The public is invited to view "Parts of Things" at Wareham Community Television
(WCTV) through June 24, 2011.
Mr. Santoro is a resident of Rochester and although he has work in private collections in the US
and Europe and the permanent collection at Southcoast Hospital in Massachusetts, this is his first
exhibition at the WCTV Gallery.
The Public is invited to the Opening Reception Friday, May 13 from 6pm - 8pm at WCTV
located at 505 Main St., Wareham. The Gallery is on display during WCTV's business hours.
