Francis Baker & Jan Watten ~ radiant landscape photography

 ~          

 
 
Photographer Jan Watten will be showing her new black and white work with photographer Francis Baker from October 23 - December 4, 2021, at Gallery at the Werkshack in Oakland.            
 
Baker uses gum bichromate, a 19th-century photographic printing process based on the light sensitivity of dichromates which is capable of rendering painterly images from photographic negatives in his surreal and vibrant images. He also works with cyanotype which results in a blue image and argyrotype which results in a "Van Dyke" brown image.       

Watten utilizes many out-dated cameras to produce the images she captures such as the Holga and pinhole cameras; the latter is a simple camera without a lens.          

Gallery at the Werkshack features talented emerging artists from Oakland and beyond. Their solo exhibitions showcase guest artists, while the Werkshack building has 8 artist and designer studios on view. Resident artist Christine Ferrouge manages curation for the gallery and serves on the Oakland Art Murmur venues committee and is the director of Art Route Oakland.        
 
There will be an artist's reception on Saturday, the 6th of November, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, at which time both artists will be in attendance.
