Opening Reception, Thursday, May 24th, 6pm - 8pm

Ceres gallery is pleased to present Masayo Nishimura’s Uptown Bound: A Retrospective, a solo exhibition of Nishimura’s photographs. The Opening Reception will take place on Thursday, May 24th from 6pm until 8pm.

This exhibition features a retrospective of Nishimura’s Uptown Bound series of color photographs originally shot in 2000. In this work, Nishimura focused on the lights and shadows created by New York City subway architecture in which the roofs of cars and tracks are bathed in light from the street level, looking quiet, beautiful, and reminiscent of Medieval religious paintings. Nishimura captured a fascinating moment created by this everyday environment.

Nishimura began studying photography in 1993. From the beginning she was attracted to the lights and shadows created by subway architecture, especially the way the cars and tracks are bathed in light from the street. She always marveled at the effects produced. Down in the station, Nishimura felt as if she were inside a huge fish tank, with blurry passengers and cars floating by in the depths. Illuminated by artificial light, everything looked quiet and detached from reality. Nishimura was always fascinated with those surreal images.
