Serendipity, MEXICO. +. A. : photographic images by Penrhyn Cook + Rod Cook
During February 6 - March 9, 2025, Kehler Liddell Gallery is proud to present a photographic exhibit of images from Mexico by Penrhyn and Rod Cook .
There will be an Opening Reception on February 9, 2:00-5:00pm.
Captivated by the power of visual storytelling the Cooks uncover magical hidden cenotes, abandoned ruins, and flamingo hangouts; imagery that tells a story of Mexico beyond traditional destinations.
Rod's A. presents the many sides of one model, Aurora, and their collaboration in Mexico celebrating the female nude. Rod reflects,”Creating a body of work with one model in a week is a daunting task, even though I am an intuitive and fast shooter… Aurora can claim, at the least, equal credit for the success we achieved.”
Penrhyn's SERENDIPITY Mexico captures chance encounters and serendipitous moments. Her photographs take a peek into the heritage of a proud culture. Cook explains "new experiences open my eyes and turn me into a storyteller. In Mexico I found vibrant tones and vibrant color, joyful celebrations of ancestors and families different from my own, and landscapes that reflect a long and illustrious history.”
Gallery Hours : Thursday-Sunday, 12-5pm, or by appt.
Address: Kehler Liddell Gallery, 873 Whalley Avenue, New Haven, CT 06515.
