| Description |
Corresponding with the release of the film, The Company Men, photographs by Gil Mares appearing in the film along with the larger collection which they were selected from will be showcased at a one-night event:
Having photographed the freighter ships for over 10 years Gil's work has unlocked the visual secrets that are generally not known because of the distance between the ships and the observer. Although the ships at dock can be seen everyday, Gil reveals their beauty through his photography by eliminating this distance.
The brightly painted hulls exhibit interesting patterns and textures which are reflected in the water. The hulls may appear delicate, tenuous, even transparent. However, the scrapes, gouges, rubber marks, and rusting wounds belie this frailty. Gil uses composition, color, texture, depth, and detail to illuminate the subject, remove all other distractions, and invite contemplation.
