| Bruce Milne |
|
Sag Harbor photographer Bruce Milne is currently in a one man show at the Roanoke Gallery at Roanoke Vineyards in Riverhead. Click Here Bruce Milne's approach to photography is especially painterly. The light evokes Turner, but the space within the work is surreal in spite of the fact the images are unaltered documents. This exhibition is a guided tour of well kept secrets. There are vast atmospheric spaces, and there are dense, frightening spaces that are at once magical and terrifying. Incorporating a large physical scale and panoramic format, Milne opens the door to other worlds most of us never notice. The New Roanoke Gallery is pleased to exhibit the photographs of Bruce Milne through January of 2010. The gallery is open daily 11-6, and until 9PM on Saturdays.
