Coming soon ……from November 15th 2024 in Wells.

Laura Jane Petelko

GBS Fine Art are proud to announce the first solo exhibition in Europe of work by Canadian photographer, Laura Jane Petelko.

Known for work of emotive sincerity and intimate and tender subject matter organised within the parameters of ongoing series, the exhibition will concentrate on two in particular: for Endless Gone (2019-ongoing), following a 3 year period confronting a prognosis of impending blindness, since lifted, she began to use in-camera abstraction to dissolve all the specifics of a landscape, subverting photography’s typical relationship with information, resolution and detail. And then the Ma (2020) series was shot during the pandemic - outside and at a distance - in collaboration with dancers from the National Ballet of Canada, themselves obviously stripped of their natural outlet to perform at the time, with the intention of transcending that bleak moment and the confines of the reality, that we were all living through.

The exhibition will continue through until January 11th 2025.
