The Robin Rice Gallery proudly announces SUMMERTIME Salon 2018, an annual photography exhibit featuring gallery artists as well as a few newcomers.

Rice has brought together the works of 55 gallery artists and nearly a hundred photographs for this salon-style exhibition. From floor to ceiling, the walls of the gallery are a mosaic of various size photographs in sepia, color and black and white, expertly hung to fit together like pieces of a puzzle.

The idyllic and playful world of The Peconic Bay in Southampton, NY dances to life in Luciana Pampalone's first solo exhibition. Each location was scouted by Pampalone and transformed into a vintage 1930s setting by the use of her models and props. A Graphlex camera, aviator goggles, parasols, retro bathing suit and games of croquet, (just to name a few) subtly tamper with the past, breathing life back into the 1930s. Moment by moment, Pampalone encapsulates the ephemeral quality of life, bending and blending human subjects within the natural landscape.

Danielle Epstein’s latest collection of photographs will seduce you. Using repetition and scale, Epstein’s clear, crisp photos of ordinary objects form intriguing patterns that naturally activate your curatorial and artistic sensibilities.

Her matte photographs measuring 16in x 2ft and 16in x 6ft, picture stones, wood and other natural and domestic detail. Their geometric layout suggests a pictorial language. It’s easy to regard each photo as a single gesture, yet when joined with others, they become part of a visual phrase.
