The Ground Glass 49th Annual Juried Exhibit opens at The Rye Arts Center on Thursday, April 3. 

Showcasing the finest in contemporary photography, the show includes 35 images selected by Juror Brian Paul Clamp, an internationally recognized authority on American art and photography. The Ground Glass exhibition promises dramatic landscapes, compelling still lifes, dynamic street photography, and abstract imagery. The photographs mirror the varied experiences, styles and skills of Ground Glass members.

The juror is owner of the renowned Clamp Gallery in Manhattan, specializing in the exhibition and sale of fine art photography.  Mr. Clamp has over thirty years of experience in the field and holds a Master of Arts degree in Critical Studies in Modern Art from Columbia University. He is the author of over forty articles and publications on American art. After making his selections, the juror addressed the Ground Glass with a congratulatory statement acknowledging the excellence of the exhibiting members work:

 “From documentary work to abstracted landscape imagery and experimentally printed photographs on gold leaf, the range of practices represented among The Ground Glass members is a delight. I appreciate the opportunity to jury the 49th annual show, and am impressed by the association’s resilience and longevity, particularly in light of the significant technological advancements over that period of time. Witnessing each artist’s commitment to their own craft and experimentation is the value of such an exhibition. Congratulations on the extraordinary photographs!”
