A familiar scene can become something unexpected through a photographer’s eye. For Edmonton photographer Peter Flanders, the artist behind PWF Photo, photography is an ongoing exploration of light, composition and perspective, a reason to remain curious about the world around him.
LJL Galleries is pleased to introduce Peter as our selected artist from FATHOM, a curated showcase presented by Public Display Agency in Edmonton.
A Connection Made Through FATHOM
FATHOM brings together visual artists, designers and makers in an immersive, gallery-style setting. Built around discovery and conversation, the event gives visitors an opportunity to experience artwork in person and connect with the artists behind it.
Through its Gallery Partner Program, Public Display Agency also connects participating artists with galleries and arts organisations, opening opportunities for features, exhibitions and future collaboration.
LJL Galleries and Rocky Mountain Art Tour attended FATHOM, selecting one artist for a feature through each platform. Peter was selected for LJL Galleries.
His thoughtful approach to photography caught our attention. Through framing, visual balance and attention to detail, Peter encourages viewers to look beyond a scene’s immediate familiarity and notice what they might otherwise pass by.
This sense of discovery is what we look forward to sharing with our gallery audience.
Curiosity Behind the Camera
Peter approaches photography as a continual process of learning and exploration. His practice includes experimenting with techniques, materials and perspectives, allowing each photograph to become an opportunity to see differently.
His cityscapes explore the relationships between architecture, geometry and light. Shapes and structures become elements of a composition, inviting viewers to consider familiar surroundings with fresh attention.
From Photograph to Fine Art Print
Peter’s care extends beyond capturing an image to its final presentation. His photographs are offered as fine art prints on specialist European papers, chosen for their archival quality and individual surface character.
The choice of paper adds another dimension to the viewing experience, bringing attention to the photograph as a physical artwork. His images have also been showcased at the Edmonton Convention Centre.
