His love of art and the outdoors led him to the life of a photographer\, and although he worked in many fields of photography\, landscape photography is his real love. His early work was influenced by photographers Edward Weston\, Ansel Adams\, Minor Whyte\, and Wynn Bullock.  \nHe soon developed his own style which was more personal and abstract.  Most of his early work was done with a 4 x 5 View Camera shooting black and white; today he works with digital cameras in both black and white and color. \nHe was awarded a grant to photograph in Antarctica in 2015. Previous exhibitions include: Little Church Gallery\, NJ After Image Gallery\, Dallas\, TX The Courthouse Gallery\, Lake George Various galleries in Florida Publications: Southwest Photo Dallas Photo Adirondack Life \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Artist’s Reception at the Caldwell-Lake George LibraryMonday\, February 10th6:00 – 8:00 PM \n \n \n \n \n \n Artist’s Statement \nThe work you will see in this exhibition covers many years.  As a landscape photographer\, my work includes anything that I find beautiful.  My favorite subjects include the Southwest\, ice\, river foam\, and water reflections\, all of which you can see here. I really like pictures that make you think and take a while to figure out. As my perception of the world around me changes\, so will my photos!  Enjoy! \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n Images: Top: Detail\, Ice Curtain Left: Fall Aspens \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Caldwell-Lake George Library336 Canada StreetLakeGeorge\, NY 12845518-668-2528 URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/project-local-vincent-woolley-photographs-through-march-1st/ LOCATION:The Caldwell Lake George Library\, 336 Canada St\, Lake George\, New York\, 12845 CATEGORIES:Project Local Exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Woolley-ice-curtain-1920-x-1080-px.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250122T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250222T170000 DTSTAMP:20260602T094934 CREATED:20250109T204114Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250109T205910Z UID:10000701-1737547200-1740243600@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:The Eye of the River: Textile Paintings by Lola Lefrançois DESCRIPTION:Images:Top: Detail\, Rainbow Lorikeet\, 160 x 60 inches\, Oil paint and acrylic on fabricRight: Was the Ugly Duckling Ever a Swan?\, 11 x 17 inches\, Oil paint and acrylic on fabric \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Artist’s Statement \nInspired by the utopian quality of Western landscape paintings\, my work exposes the stark contrast between these idyllic scenes and the contemporary treatment of nature and animals. Drawing from my childhood in Auroville\, India—a commune founded on utopian ideals of perfect humanity—I explore the alluring facade of a perfect place that ultimately reveals humanity’s capacity for violence. \nI grew up in Auroville\, an experimental township in India devoted to human unity\, founded in 1968 by Mirra Alfassa (“the Mother”) and designed by architect Roger Anger. Living there for 8 years\, I attended Transition School\, where my education focused on our connection with the surrounding environment\, emphasizing notions of awareness and empathy. Leaving Auroville and traveling with my mother\, I became fascinated by the contrasting reality behind the idealized image I grew up with. \nMy work is dedicated to questioning our traditional painting heritage\, referencing and altering both landscape painting and classical interior décor imagery. I paint on used fabrics that have flower or plant pattern reminiscent of traditional bourgeois interiors. Staining and cutting these fabrics\, I deliberately alter and disrupt their original visibility. Referencing movements like the Hudson River School and 18th- and 19th-century European landscape painting\, I adapt my painting crafting fragmented and decaying landscapes. My landscapes are strange yet familiar\, inviting viewers to lose themselves in this illusory sense of peace and calm. Here\, the boundaries blur between pleasure and harm\, beauty and destruction\, challenging us to question how these notions coexist. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About the Artist \nLola Lefrançois is a French artist based in New York City.
