FILM NOIR EXHIBIT

Slideshow Photos by Nicole Canegata, Isaac Torres & Emily Graci

ARTIST STATEMENT: 

Stepping through sacred portals…walking through time’s embrace…reflecting on the remnants of a colonial past…whilst beholding the natural beauty that abounds.

Film Noir is a visual black and white story. A journey across timelines…echoing the past and present. A tale of two towns beneath the island sun...with a touch of the North Shore in between…woven together in light and shadow.

This is an homage to my beloved island Home, St. Croix. The heartbeat of my vision…the muse that inspires my creative path. An ode to the elements that captivate my eye and enrich my artistic journey.

FILM NOIR REVIEWS:

“Ms. Canegata is an artist who seems to have no boundaries and whose photographic interests lie in many sectors of life and form on the planet. What immediately pops out at you with every photograph in this heartfelt collection, is her love for her subject matter. Ms. Canegata has the ability to invoke a sense of wonder for the meaning behind the Black & White (B&W) photo of a sculpted rod iron railing sitting proudly against a stone wall in “Penthany Arrows,” and she has that same ability in presenting an ancient clock tower in “Keepers of Time in East.” They both call out to you and force you to think about their history and their fate, about how they got there and where they are going. “ - M.A. Dworkin

“Living on this island you are assaulted by color. Every plant, landscape, person, animal, or insect is doused in color. For an artist to approach island life from the view of black and white is a bold choice. And that is exactly what Nicole Canegata does in her latest exhibit. Taking a counter-clockwise view of the clock towers in both east and west as the beginning and end in black and white was the introduction to opposition of the exhibit. What was precisely placed between was a visual feast of the mundane made extraordinary!“ - Tanisha Bailey-Roka
