Peter Rohen and Peter Dowd: Still.

Peter Rohen and Peter Dowd have excelled in this photographic exhibition Still  Night photos. These are always difficult and require a lot of skill. The sensitivity to place is visible in both photographer's works.

Peter Rohen shows incredible affinity to night landscapes, with a solitary light illuminating the countryside, creating mysterious places. These places are undefined and unlocated - even their names Still One, Still Two etc, leave you without any regional certainties.

Peter Dowd, on the other hand, has created night works of the inner city, the roads and lanes are named in their titles: Charles St, Wilson St laneway, Irene St.... Still, they are examples of places we know, even if we don't know these exact streets. His evocation of colour is especially fine, and the juxtapositions of light and shade, of grunge and accidental beauty is very pleasing.

If you haven't seen this exhibition, please do. It has a magical quality that transcends the medium.
