Capturing the primal in the familiar

Dintiman’s photogravures on view at Alliance Gallery

NARROWSBURG, NY—“Familiar Places,” an exhibition of photogravures by Robin Dintiman, will open at the Alliance Gallery on Friday, March 20, with an artist’s reception from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. The exhibit will be on view through April 11.

“For as long as I can remember, 35 years or so, I’ve found reverie through certain aspects of the natural environment. When an object, a tree for example, clings to life on a steep cliff, my emotional reaction is strong and specific,” said Dintiman, whose print-making work—including photogravures and monoprints—is characterized by a deep connection to nature.
