Mary Aiu critique -- on hold
THEME--ANIMALS
Dance of the Lusitano -- Mary Aiu photo
Mary Aiu is a fine art photographer who spends her time pursuing beautiful horses from around the world. Her work is noted for its ethereal feel, blending photographic components that often result in a painterly quality of the horse in motion. She has been described as one who can share the sensual beauty and depth of spirit in horses within her work.
“Watching horses run freely is captivating, especially if they were just released from the confines of a stall. Striking movements of agility and grace, but most of all, their joyful engagement to be free and move about at will is a sight I never tire of photographing. As they move about, each displaying their own unique flare, I feel like I am watching a dancer, with the arena becoming their stage. With the aid of the computer, I can transport these images to a stage of my creation, blending the imagery with the imaged, that’s inspired by their being. Setting them free once again.”
Her photographs have been exhibited at the Center for Fine Art Photography, Center for Photographic Art, Texas Photographic Society, Triton Museum of Art, and the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art. She was a guest lecturer at the Monterey Museum of Art, her work has been published in LensWork, and she was awarded a Spotlight in the Black and White Magazine. She holds a BFA from the California College of the Arts and is a member of the ImageMakers of Monterey. To see see more of her work visit: www.maryaiu.com
