Whenever I go to Twenty-Two Gallery I meet interesting new people. The Summer Group Show introduced me to Sonia Gonzalez, her works in the show are outstanding and different. One is black and white, highly narrative, the other this lavish oil that is more abstract expressionist. Sonia asked me which was my favorite, I love them both.

Summer in the city offers art receptions and parties with the Philadelphians who don’t go down the shore. The artist reception was very lively with conversations about the value of pastoral paintings, breakthrough printmaking process and studio space news. It’s really fun to be part of the group, Twenty-Two Gallery is always so welcoming to me.

“Synthesis” is a series of large scale pigment prints created by combining darkroom chemistry with more exotic elements in solutions and using a 4×5 view camera to photograph the often unpredictable reactions that unfold. The resultant images are gestural, calligraphic forms whose textures and fractal-like patterns are reminiscent of the endlessly repeating structures in nature that exist on multiple scale levels from the sub-atomic to the universal; a reflection of the complex architecture of our universe.”

John Singletary is a Philadelphia based photographer who trained formally at Drexel University and the Community College of Philadelphia and has exhibited work in the Pennsylvania State Museum, The Center for Fine Art Photography, The Photo Review, University of the Arts Gallery 1401, The Seeds Gallery, The Perkins Center for the Arts and other venues.
