SUMMARY:Permanent Exhibition: Julia Margaret Cameron
DESCRIPTION:Julia Margaret Cameron (1815 – 1879) was one of the most important early photographers and is now recognised the world over as a pioneer of photography as art. \nA woman ahead of her time\, she was ambitious and freethinking when most Victorian women were passive and demure. She took on the challenges of handling large cameras and dangerous chemicals at a time when photography was known as ‘The Black Art’. \nIgnoring conventions\, she experimented with composition and focus. Today she is credited with creating the first photographic close-up portraits and influencing the subsequent Pictorialism movement with her use of diffused focus. \nHer portraits of ‘famous men and fair women’\, reflect her time within the Freshwater Circle\, the birth of celebrity and her ambitions to be recognised as significant artist of her time. \nThe majority of her photographic work was created here at Dimbola. Her work is found in major archives the world over including our own growing Permanent Collection.

SUMMARY:Mini Iconic Bowie – Terry O’Neill
DESCRIPTION:Dimbola Museum & Galleries are honoured that Iconic Images have kindly agreed to loan us photographs of David Bowie taken by the late Terry O’Neil left over from our Iconic Bowie exhibition is 2019. \nOver a 20-year period\, O’Neill captured Bowie’s shapeshifting artistry better than just about anybody else. \nO’Neill’s photographs have left such a lasting impression because he was able to demystify some of the 20th century’s biggest icons. \nBy the time O’Neill started shooting Bowie during his Ziggy Stardust tour in 1973\, he was much a respected name in photography. \nCurrently exclusive to Dimbola in the UK\, the limited editions images are available to purchase. For more information please email admin@dimbola.co.uk

SUMMARY:Past Exhibition:Light Bends in Imaginary Gardens by Syd Buron
DESCRIPTION:23rd September 2023 – 19th May 2024 \nSyd Buron (born in Birmingham\, 1977) has followed a meandering path in the arts\, with a consistent desire to fan the faint embers of magic that still smoulder in small patches of woodland trapped between farmers fields\, hedgerows\, misty coast lines\, ancient trees and hollow ways (as well as junk shops\, auction houses and art galleries).  \nEver since moving to the Isle of Wight twenty years ago\, Syd has sought out these magical embers. Exploring the island’s liminal spaces\, where at certain times of the season and day\, the veil seems thin and embers glow. Capturing nature at its most ethereal with his camera; and in the past year\, taking his negatives into the darkroom\, and creating pieces for this show – ‘Light Bends in Imaginary Gardens’. The first darkroom was achieved by blacking out and converting the caravan where he lives with his partner Molly in Atherfield (the island’s wild south west). Since last Spring\, Syd was able to work with larger pieces using the fabulous darkroom in the basement here at Dimbola. The darkroom process he uses shares much in common with the process Julia Margaret Cameron would have used. \n \nThe pieces are made up of Syd’s collection of antique frames and mirrors. On which he paints a photo sensitive liquid emulsion and exposes negatives his photographs (some manipulated\, as well as some found\, vintage negatives) onto the coated surface. The mirrors are then developed and fixed in the darkroom\, as you would a print. The resulting images have the quality of reflections on water – imaginary gardens existing behind the veil. Transient images\, changing as the reflection changes when viewed from different angles\, and changing as the ambient light changes at different times of season and day. \nSome of the frames have been manipulated by Syd – fused with branches and root systems found on the island’s beaches and woodlands. Working in a converted old greenhouse on the farm where he lives\, his audio companion in the workshop has often being Daisy Rickman’s incredible album ‘Donsya A’n Loryow’. As it was the soundtrack to the creation of many of the pieces\, he reached out to Daisy who agreed to let it be the soundtrack to the exhibition. Unbeknownst to Syd\, Daisy is also an artist and filmmaker and her film “Belisama” serendipitously felt like the missing piece in the show. Shot on location during Daisy’s travels through Cuba\, Iceland\, Venice and Cornwall in 2016\, “the footage has been kept at it’s most natural state and no ‘special effects’ were applied during post production. All of what you see here is what was captured within the visual trinity of light\, water\, and in the camera’s eye”.  \nSyd would like to thank Molly for her support and patience\, especially whilst living in a darkroom-caravan last Winter.  \nA price list of the pieces in the exhibition can be obtained from the front desk
