First Parish Church in Weston is thrilled to welcome photographer Jim Wojno to the Mary Jo Rines Gallery for an exhibit inspired by dramatic light, expansive space, and the spirituality of nature. On view through April 5, Serene Landscapes features painterly color photographs that convey the artist’s appreciation of some of his favorites places to explore and photograph, including the American Southwest, Martha’s Vineyard, Cape Cod, Hawaii, Costa Rica, and Italy. Combining thoughtful composition in the field and digital darkroom techniques, Wojno translates the emotional and spiritual experience of a landscape into a two-dimensional image and offers contemplative views of nature as a source of “silence, renewal, mystery, and awareness of a great life-giving spirit”.
Wojno is a member of the Concord Center for the Visual Arts and has been featured in two recent annual Frances N. Roddy Exhibitions, as well as multiple Members’ exhibitions. His solo exhibitions include Bridgewater State College, South Shore Art Center in Cohasset, Parish Center for the Arts Gallery in Westford, the Lincoln Public Library, and the Jewish Community Center in Worcester. His work has also been shown in galleries in the Provincetown Art Association Museum, and the Boston Center for the Arts. Wojno has received awards from the South Shore Art Center and the Organization for the Assabet River.
You can find more of Wojno’s work in the Mary Jo Rines Virtual Gallery, where, in addition to Serene Landscapes, he shares collections of monochromatic and architecture-inspired works.
The photographs in this exhibit are for sale (price list), and we invite you to direct any inquiries to Larry Grob (617-817-3123 or lagrob@mac.com) for an introduction to the artist. All of the images in both the physical and virtual gallery can be ordered in the large 28” x 22” size.
