Gallery 14 in Hopewell Has Exhibits by Schwartz, Blum

“MOONSARAZ”: This photograph by Martin Schwartz is featured in “Places I’ve Been, Faces I’ve Seen,” on view through May 4 at Gallery 14 Fine Art Photography in Hopewell.

The Goodkind Gallery at Gallery 14 Fine Art Photography in Hopewell features the work of Martin Schwartz of Cranbury in “Places I’ve Been, Faces I’ve Seen,” on view through May 4.

According to the gallery, “a photographer never wants to stop seeing and shooting images. However, sometimes physical restrictions prevent our ability to get out and take new works. When this happens, we sometimes look back at previous works. That is the case with this exhibit. Martin has looked back into his expansive portfolio of work and is reimagining shots using new processing and more powerful software to create new images. Some of the shots have never been processed or exhibited before. Others are works previously shown but now reworked. Some are even from slides which he then had to scan so they could be worked on for this exhibit.”

The photographs are from France, Italy, Portugal, and the U.S. They range from landscapes and street scenes to portraits, each with its own special sensitivity. He has worked to give them new vitality and quite often a more painterly effect, his preferred choice of presentation made possible by the new developing techniques he uses.

Schwartz, a dentist by trade, is a longtime member of Gallery 14 and has had exhibitions in the gallery for over 20 years.

Also on view through May 4 is “Japan to Manhattan,” featuring works by Joel Blum.

Gallery 14 Fine Art Photography is located at 14 Mercer Street in Hopewell. It is open Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and by appointment.
